PRESS RELEASE June 30, 2022
SVT Sport has signed an exclusive agreement with Gotland Grand National for 2022 and 2023!
SVT Sport and Nordic Sport & Event AB have signed an exclusive two-year agreement for the rights to broadcast the world’s largest enduro competition, the Gotland Grand National. SVT Sport will provide approximately 4.5 hours of live coverage, divided into 1.5 hours in the morning and about 3 hours during the elite race.
“SVT is continuing its investment in the Gotland Grand National. We have signed a two-year agreement with the organizer, Nordic Sport & Event, under which we will offer our viewers extensive live coverage on TV and on SVT Play,” says Jan Olsson of SVT Sport.
"We have worked with SVT Sport for many years, and it feels absolutely fantastic that we have now been able to sign a two-year contract," says Conny Bohlin, CEO of Nordic Sport & Event. "In 2021, we had our best broadcast ever, with 14 different camera angles. The investment for 2022 will be even greater, with more and new camera angles for viewers," Conny Bohlin concludes.
The agreement also means that Nordic Sport & Event and SVT Sport are exploring the possibility of streaming the Gotland Grand National outside Sweden’s borders. The plan is to have this in place by the 2022 GGN, says Conny Bohlin
