Not everyone can make it to the WEGs and for those of you who can’t, there will be many television and online viewing opportunities. Universal sports has released a TV broadcast schedule that includes 8.5 hours of live and taped coverage on NBC and 17.5 hours on Universal Sports TV. The rest of the World Equestrian Games will be broadcast online either on universalsports.com for a $30 fee that covers the entire games, or on the USEF Network, reportedly for free. FEI TV, will broadcast the entire WEGs for a daily or monthly rate although it remains to be seen how the different online feeds will vary in quality. Regarding Horses and COTH have more information on broadcast prices.
Much of the NBC television broadcasts will be taped. Dissapointingly, the only television coverage scheduled for the eventers out of 26 hours of coverage between NBC and Universal is three hours on NBC, although this is more coverage on NBC than any other discipline. It looks like all of the eventing online coverage will be either on universalsports.com or FEI TV.
