ESPN HD Goes Big With Winter X Games 12
ESPN and ABC Combine to Televise 15 Hours of Live Event Coverage For The First Time Ever In High Definition
ESPN HD and ABC HD will continue to expand their programming line-ups by offering all 15 hours of Winter X Games 12 in high-definition, January 24 through January 27, 2008 live from Aspen, Colorado. X Games 14 will also be presented entirely in HD and will air in early August, 2008. XCENTER, the daily highlight show for both the X Games and Winter X Games, will also be shown in HD on ESPN2 HD.
The annual Winter X Games is the premier winter action sports event featuring more than 250 of the world's best athletes competing for medals and prize money in Skiing, Snowboard and Snowmobile competitions.
"Offering Winter X Games 12 in high definition raises the bar and allows us to further enhance the experience for our viewers and all action sports fans," said Rick Alessandri, senior vice president, ESPN consumer products and X Games managing director. "Winter X Games 12 is the first ever multi-sport winter action sports event to be presented in HD. This move and our collaboration with Olevia as the HD sponsor of Winter X Games 12 further demonstrates why ESPN is the leader in HDTV."
Buttermilk Mountain at Aspen/Snowmass will continue to host the Winter X Games through 2010. The event includes day and evening competitions and is free to the public.
