Introducing Curling TV: a new way to watch curling on-line!

OTTAWA — An exciting new initiative from the Canadian Curling Association (CCA) means curling fans are just a click away from watching their favourite sport from anywhere on the planet with an internet signal. Curling TV, which is now on-line and available at www.curlingtv.ca, offers curling fans a wide array of video options, ranging from archived TSN broadcasts of Season of Champions events (round-robin and playoffs), archival footage from older events (wait till you check out some of the highlights of past Briers dating back to 1955!), as well as instructional videos, equipment tips and post-game media scrum footage from our championship events. “We’re always looking for new ways to offer opportunities to our fans to get involved with curling,” said Greg Stremlaw, the Chief Executive Officer of the CCA. “We’re very excited about what this new venture gives our fans, and where we can take it in the future.” TSN broadcasts from Season of Champions events will be loaded onto the site within 48 hours of their appearing on television; currently, broadcasts are available from all of the 2011-12 events and the events that have taken place during the 2012-13 season. “What we’re most excited about is that anybody interested in curling can find something to watch on Curling TV,” said Stremlaw. “Competitive curlers and coaches can use the archived broadcasts for game analysis and instruction, while beginning curlers will find benefits from such features as the equipment guides. There really is something for everyone to enjoy.” For further information, contact: Greg Stremlaw Chief Executive Officer Canadian Curling Association Office: 613.834.2076 x 117 Cell: 613.799.9993 [email protected] https://www.curling.ca Al Cameron Director, Communication and Media Relations Canadian Curling Association 403-463-5500 [email protected] https://www.curling.ca About the Canadian Curling Association The Canadian Curling Association (CCA) is the national sport governing body responsible for the development, promotion and organization of curling in Canada.
