How will the 2008 Hockey World Championship be shown on TV
According to a correspondent for Sport-Express, in the Far East - in Khabarovsk, Nakhodka, Petropavlovsk, Vladivostok - local authorities, independently of each other, came up with a "hockey" initiative. Employees of government institutions are planning to be allowed to watch live broadcasts of the Russian national team's games at their workplace from May 2 (the start of the world championship). Residents of the Pacific coast will really be the most "privileged" viewers of those games that, according to Canadian time, will take place in the evening, according to Moscow time - late at night, and according to Far Eastern time - closer to noon.
General Director of Channel One Konstantin Ernst previously announced plans to buy the rights to broadcast the World Championship, but there will be no broadcasts from Canada on the first "button". NTV Plus will also not show the world championship. The matches of the 2008 World Championship will be broadcast live and on tape delay on "Sport". It is planned that this TV channel will cover the Canadian tournament in a very serious volume. The broadcast is planned to include 40 matches of the championship out of 56 and more than one hundred hours of broadcasting.
As reported by the press service of "Sport", the most interesting games will be selected for the broadcast. There is no unified broadcast schedule for the entire championship yet. But it was possible to find out that the least rated matches will remain "outside" the broadcasts. Almost certainly, six matches of the consolation round, as well as the least interesting matches of the group tournaments, for example, Switzerland - France or Denmark - Italy, will not be shown.
The broadcasts of the hockey World Championship will be one of the main sports events on "Sport" in May. According to preliminary information, the live broadcast from Canada will be "interrupted" only once during the period from May 2 to 18 - during the basketball "Final Four" in Madrid with the participation of CSKA. Two or three live broadcasts are planned for each game day. They will take place at 21:00, 23:30 and 3:00 am Moscow time - this is the time the World Championship matches start. The time of evening broadcasts, if necessary, will sometimes be "shifted" by an hour - for example, this will happen with the Canada - Slovenia match on the first day of the tournament broadcasts.
Replays of the most interesting matches can be seen the next day. So far, the exact broadcast schedule from Canada exists only for the first game days of the World Championship. As can be seen from the proposed schedule, the matches will be shown on tape delay at about ten in the morning, one in the afternoon and at 17:40. The press service of "Sport" confirmed that the most "tasty" airtime - 17:40 - will be given to matches with the participation of the Russian national team. For example, the night match of the group tournament Russia - Italy will be shown in replay at this time. It was possible to find out that the most rated matches (Czech Republic - Russia, quarter-final with the participation of the Russian team) will be shown on tape delay two or three times. On average, "Sport" plans to have two replays per day.
During the World Championship, this TV channel will also broadcast the traditional "diary" of the tournament, which will include "highlights" of the best moments of all matches of the game day.
