Also, the Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK) has negotiated a deal to air the World Chess Championship games via NRK1 and NRK.no on the web. “It was a complicated negotiating process with various players in India, but we came to terms in the end,” said Runar Østmo, head of sports rights in NRK. Rune Haug, head of sports coverage for NRK, admitted that “it’s perhaps a bit crazy” to air 100 hours of chess live on Norway’s largest TV channel, “but we think Norwegians want to finally be able to follow Magnus Carlsen’s outstanding presentation closely.”
