World Cup Skiing, Snowboard, Freestyle and Nordics are back on Channel 4 this
coming season with its longest series to date.
Hothouse Productions has won the Channel 4 contract for the sixth successive
year. Presented by former British ski team racer and Hothouse Productions
Managing Director, Nick Fellows, the new series will once again focus on the
Alpine Ski World Cup tour for 20 x 1 hour Sunday morning programmes. The series
also includes Alpine World Cup Highlights on Monday, Nordic on Tuesday and a two
hour Snowboard and Freestyle programme on Friday nights. Providing a total of
110 hours of winter sports coverage.
Starting on Sunday 18th November 2007 and running until 6th April 2008 the
series special guest list reads like the who’s who of skiing. Kristina Koznick,
our reporter and former World No.2 will be joined by Martin Bell, Ken Read,
Franz Klammer, Bruno Kernen, Kjetil Aamodt and more.
Fellow’s explained “we plan to cover more women’s races than any other season
to date as I predict Chemmy Alcott will become the “Lewis Hamilton” of winter
sport. Our production team is quite possibly the most experienced and confident
in the UK and the result will be dynamic, informative winter sport all season
long”
Join the Channel 4 ski team on Sunday 18th November at 8 am. All programmes
will be repeated an hour later on Channel 4 + 1
