UK broadcaster Channel 4 re-commissioned Hothouse Productions to produce 110 hours of winter sports coverage from the FIS World Cup tours of Alpine Skiing, Snowboarding, Freestyle Skiing and Nordic disciplines.

The series, which starts on November 18 and runs through to April 6, 2008, consists of 20 x 1 hour Sunday morning programmes, with two-hour highlights programmes playing late night on Monday and Tuesdays, and a dedicated Snowboard and Freestyle programme scheduled for Friday nights.

Channel 4’s Head of Sport Andrew Thompson said: “This is the sixth year of Winter Sports programming on Channel 4 and our coverage continues to be unparalleled anywhere else on terrestrial television. Channel 4 remains committed to winter sport and we hope for another exciting season of race action with the possibility that we’ll see some fresh British talent emerge”.
