[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…The Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour KLPGA Championship will be broadcast live overseas.
The organizing broadcaster SBS Golf introduced on the 13th, "Fox Sports Australia, Sky A in Japan, Sky New Zealand, Astro (ASTRO) in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei will broadcast live every day." In the United States, NBC plans to air tournament highlights through the flagship program of the Golf Channel, 'Golf Central.' NBC is currently testing live streaming technology on its digital channel, so live broadcast possibilities are also anticipated.
Canada's terrestrial broadcaster CBC is also preparing to broadcast on its digital channel. SBS Golf produces the broadcast with English subtitles for overseas transmission. "Since this is the first regular tour held worldwide after the golf world was halted due to COVID-19, and many top stars are participating, interest is intense," they explained, "and overseas media outlets are increasingly requesting video materials from Japanese terrestrial broadcaster alliances for news use."
