NBC Sports Network, which was critically acclaimed for its 2013 coverage of the 34th America's Cup, has signed on to provide full broadcast coverage in the U.S. of the 12th edition of the Volvo Ocean Race, the world’s premier offshore sailing race. Outside Television will also air complete TV programming – in addition to full digital coverage – of the nine-month long race from October 2014-June 2015.
NBCSN’s coverage will begin with an exciting 1.5-hour block of episodes to kick-off the race start at 1pm ET on Sunday, October 26.
Outside Television will also show a full slate of live streaming and online coverage of the race at OutsideTelevision.com that includes digital streaming of the leg starts, in-port races, news features and live look-ins with the boats.
Each team will feature a dedicated Onboard Reporter (OBR) – a trained multi-media specialist – who will shoot, interview and send footage back to the race headquarters in Alicante, Spain daily via satellite. Footage will be weaved and edited together with sophisticated race graphics, weather data and tracking information to craft a dramatic 30-minute show every week.
