Sprint Becomes Title
Sponsor of Ski Press Weekly News
SSPWN is
now Cornerstone of Sprint SnowZone & produced in association with
Egan Entertainment Network
Laguna Beach, CA (Ski Press) - In a blockbuster
sponsorship-and-distribution deal, communications giant Sprint
Nextel has become the title sponsor of the Ski Press Weekly News.
Now in its third year, the Sprint Ski Press Weekly News (SSPWN)
starring Amy Quigley is a 3-minute weekly news segment that delivers
cutting-edge news and information about the world of Alpine sports.
SSPWN will become a cornerstone of the content offered on Sprint’s
Snow Zone.
Sprint Snow Zone is exclusive wireless site that allows users to get
the information they crave. That includes the latest weather and
snow conditions at their favorite resorts, and video clips of tips
and tricks from gold-medal athletes. Among those athletes is
freestyle skier Jonny Moseley, known for pushing moguls skiing to
the limits, and snowboarder Seth Wescott, who won the first
snowboardcross gold medal.
Beginning mid-November 2007, all SnowZone content, including the
Sprint Ski Press Weekly News, will be available to Sprint PCS
Vision® and Sprint Power VisionSM pack subscribers free of charge.
It can be accessed via the Vision or Power Vision home deck or by
texting SNOW to 7777.
More than 51 million Sprint and Nextel subscribers can now stay in
touch with snow industry news from anywhere they use their phones.
“I’m proud to be working with Sprint — they’re the leading
telecommunications company committed to giving their customers
information that they can really use,” said Ski Press President and
CEO Jean-Marc Blais. “Ski Press is a media company aimed at giving
consumers the best and most current information on alpine sports.
Making that information available on Sprint and Nextel phones is a
natural extension of our broad distribution strategy.”
