Outdoor Life Network Considers Dropping Ski Coverage
According to several industry reports over the past
month, Canadian-based cable/satellite Outdoor Life
Network is reportedly considering dropping ski
coverage as early as the 2002/2003 season. For the
past several years, Outdoor Life (OLN) has been the
exclusive home of Nordic ski coverage on the World Cup
and major elite circuit. With race footage provided by
World Cup organizers, OLN has offered up to a dozen
taped Nordic competitions each season from throughout
the World Cup calendar. Virtually no other Nordic
coverage has reached U.S. households save for sporadic
major network Olympic preview shows...with that
coverage primarily focused on Nordic Combined and
Jumping.
Ski industry sources claim that the OLN decision is
being based primarily on viewer feedback coming from a
web-based polling system on the OLN website. Those
same sources are now calling for skiing advocates to
raise the profile of ski sport in the eyes of OLN
executives. They are pointing to a new show that is
about to start on OLN called Adventure Center which is
being designed as the "Sports Center" of outdoor
adventure sports.
By going to the OLN website http://www.olntv.com in
the lower left margin you will find a small link
labeled "Feedback". This link allows you to post a
simple note to OLN in which you can voice your support
for continued coverage of skiing on the network.
Support our winter sport coverage,
