Default Mediazone could do MPEG races!

(This is a repost to keep up interest.)

Hi Everybody,

I was looking at what Mediazone.com had to offer for recent online sports
events. They are the ones who carried the Giro d'Italia last spring via
live video feed. They also do World Cup Soccer, Eurovision, Mountain Biking
Championships, etc. I contacted them to see if they plan to do carry and
european XC skiing or World Cup Biathlon.

Sean Sweeney wrote me back wondering how much support is out there should
his company decide to offer these races. They usually charge a fee, like
$5-7 or so, for an event. I told him that I didn't have numbers, but asked
him if I could post his contact information so that you all could contact
him so that he could get an idea as to the North American demand for these
races. He said he's been looking into new winter sports to cover, but needs
to know if there are enough people interested.

So the check out the website at www.mediazone.com . And write Sean Sweeley
at and let him know how much you desire them to cover
xc skiing and biathlon. We'll see if it works.

Brian

P.S. Here's the letter he wrote back to me:

Brian,
Please, go ahead and post my email address:


And let them know we're trying to assess the need. We're
already in discussions with MediaPartners Italia for FIS Nordic events as
well as discussions with USSA about marketing opportunities if we get these
rights. It's all just discussions right now and the fees being asked must
be justified with a paying audience.

Thanks.

Sean Sweeney
