Advertising help bring events like this to the community when you purchase commercial airtime on their streams. Commercial revenue helps offset the costs of streaming and venue costs associated with running these events. Spaces are still available for businesses that are interested in advertising through the live stream of the events, which will be available to view for free via YouTube.
“We are asking $20 for 30 second commercials, and pricing is based on our projection of over 1,000 active viewers during the games. If the active viewers are less, we will run more commercials to make up the difference,” said James Gordon, event organizer and co-manager of Curling Stadium Saskatchewan.
