SVT Sport to Broadcast GGN
SVT Sport to Broadcast the Gotland Grand National 2.0 in 2024
SVT Sport and Nordic Sport & Event AB have signed an exclusive agreement for the broadcasting rights to the world’s largest enduro competition, the Gotland Grand National. SVT Sport will air more than 5 hours of live coverage, divided into 1.5 hours in the morning and approximately 4 hours during the elite race.
– “SVT Sport remains committed to the Gotland Grand National, and now, together with the organizer Nordic Sport & Event, we have signed an agreement that will provide our viewers with extensive live coverage on TV and SVT Play,” says Jan Olsson of SVT Sport.
-“We have worked with SVT Sport for many years, and securing this one-year agreement feels fantastic,” says Conny Bohlin, CEO of Nordic Sport & Event. “Given the situation we’ve faced this year with moving the GGN from Tofta to Hejdeby, it has been a major challenge to organize this year’s race. There has certainly been uncertainty, as the case has been pending in various courts for a long time. Now we have permission to host GGN 2.0 in 2024, and it feels incredible that SVT Sport, on short notice, will broadcast this unique motorsport event from Gotland.”
