Rowing - 31 Jan 2013 - The European Broadcasting Union, the umbrella body of mainly public-service broadcasters, has renewed its European media rights deal with FISA, the international governing body for rowing.
The new four-year agreement runs until 2016 and includes the World Rowing Championships in 2013, 2014 and 2015, the annual World Cup series and the European Rowing Championships.
FISA’s previous media rights deal with the EBU in Europe ran from 2009 to 2012.
Denis Oswald, the FISA president, said that the relationship between the federation and the EBU started in the early 1980s and has been a ‘‘long and successful one.’’
He added: ‘‘But, as everyone knows, much has changed in the television world in recent years, particularly in the way that sports events are televised, and how their rights are exploited and distributed. In the light of these many significant changes, I am pleased to acknowledge that Eurovision has shown the flexibility and foresight to adapt to these times. I look forward to a highly collaborative and productive relationship with the EBU and their members through to 2016.”
The first event covered by the new EBU-FISA agreement will be the opening regatta of the 2013 Samsung World Rowing Cup series in Sydney from March 22 to 24.
