The World Surf League (WSL) and LTN have announced an expanded partnership to bring a wider range of tailored live events to international audiences in 2025.
Building on the companies’ long-term collaboration, the WSL employs a wide range of LTN’s remote production, monetisation and distribution technologies to deliver year-round coverage from coastal locations in multiple languages and across global broadcast, digital, and FAST platforms.
WSL is the global home of competitive surfing and delivers over 1,000 hours of live content per year to millions of global viewers across its digital platforms, social media, and broadcast and streaming partners.
Rob Hammer, SVP broadcast and studio operations at WSL, said: “We want to bring as many live surfing events as possible to our fast-growing global fan community — on every continent and any platform. LTN enables us to reliably deliver live feeds at low latency from remote venues and customise content at scale for downstream partners, all within one connected IP video distribution ecosystem. Our partnership gives us the flexibility to produce more high-quality live events and engage new audiences worldwide.”
The WSL uses a full suite of LTN’s intelligent IP video distribution technologies, including live video acquisition, routing, ad signalling, master control and playout. In addition, WSL utilises LTN’s live event versioning solution, LTN Arc, to create multiple versions of live event feeds for domestic and international distribution.
