The Olympic Channel today announced that it has reached cooperation agreements with three Recognized International Sports Federations to collaborate on content for the Olympic Channel.

World Air Sports Federation (FAI), World Bowling and World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF) join the 36 International Federations (IFs) and IOC Recognised Sports Federations who have previously announced similar agreements with the Olympic Channel this year.

"The Olympic Channel is dedicated to promoting all sports and athletes within the Olympic Movement," said Mark Parkman, General Manager of the Olympic Channel. "As we look ahead to 2017, we are excited to work with air sports, bowling and flying disc to promote their sports and to help grow their audiences worldwide."

The Olympic Channel is working together with its IF partners to create innovative partnerships encompassing live event streaming, event coverage, highlights, magazine shows, news coverage and original programming as well as technical business solutions.

Collaborations to broadcast live events on the Olympic Channel are complementary to current broadcast and distribution arrangements. By the end of the year, the Olympic Channel will have streamed more than 50 live events since its launch in August.
