Falun World Ski Championships face broadcasting rights uncertainty

The organizing committee for the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Falun is facing challenges due to the lack of a broadcasting agreement. While the International Ski Federation owns the rights, the absence of a deal impacts arena planning, camera placement, and snow management. Kajsa Sjösvärd, CEO of the Falun championships, noted that delays could lead to increased costs, potentially affecting ticket prices and sponsorship deals.

SVT's sports director, Max Bursell, stated that while the broadcaster remains interested, the limited time remaining makes the situation difficult. A decision is ideally needed by September to avoid unnecessary expenses.
