FIBT expands Canadian coverage with Sportsnet deal

The International Bobsleigh and Tobogganing Federation (FIBT) has renegotiated a deal for Canadian pay-television broadcaster Rogers Sportsnet to show same-day coverage of the remainder of the 2014-15 Bobsleigh and Skeleton Word Cup.

Sportsnet will broadcast coverage of all heats from the multi-race tournament in Canada on the day that they take place.

Previously, only the final run was shown on the same day outside of Europe.

The FIBT will also stream live coverage of all events from the World Cup via its official channel on video-sharing website YouTube. A mobile application version of the service is also available to download to iPhone, tablet and Android mobile platforms.
