TVNW to Host Broadcast World Junior Badminton Championships

24 October – TVNW Media Group has been named as host broadcaster of the 2004 World Junior Badminton Championships, to be held this weekend in Richmond, BC, Canada. A highlights package from the individual competition will be produced and given three separate airings on national cable sports channel TSN.

It is the first time that the biennial World Junior Badminton Championships have been held in the Americas. Badminton BC, the organiser of the event, expects strong local and regional support. In total, more than 600 athletes from 30 countries are competing in the Championships.

‘The International Badminton Federation is very pleased that the organisers of the 2004 World Junior Championships have appointed TVNW to produce and broadcast coverage of the 2004 event,’ said the federation’s head of marketing, Simon Morton. ‘These Championships really are a showcase for the badminton stars of the future, and TVNW’s deal with the event organisers will give Canadian fans a great preview of the players who will be dominating world badminton in one or two year’s time.’

Ajay Patel, executive director of Badminton BC, added that ‘we feel fortunate that there is a company like TVNW in Vancouver to provide this kind of service for us. The fact that they are here was key in our decision to seek television coverage of the event.’

TVNW Media Group is the leading sports television production company operating in the Pacific Northwest. Since its inception in 2002, managing director Martin Perry and his team have produced coverage of the ITU’s Triathlon World Cup series, FIS World Cup skiing, the 2002 FIS Snowboard World Championships, the 2003 World Weightlifting Championships, the 2002 Mountain Bike World Cup in Scotland and the 2002 Canadian Arena Cross Championships.

This season, TVNW produced the 16-leg ITU World Cup tour and the ITU World Championships for international broadcast, in addition to the Canadian National Triathlon Championships and the US Olympic Trials triathlon. The company was again the host-broadcaster for an expanded package of the Vancouver Whitecaps FC soccer games aired on cable sports channel Rogers SportsNet. TVNW also host-broadcast the 2004 National Wakeboard Championships in Vancouver’s False Creek, the Harry Jerome International Track and Field Classic and ‘Miracle Mile’ memorial in Burnaby, BC and the 2004 Keg Steakhouse and Bar Showjumping Grand Prix in Langley, BC.
