The Sunday morning edition of 'Skiing on 4', produced by Hothouse Productions, will double in length from 30 minutes to one hour and run from 08:00 - 09:00 each Sunday morning until the end of the season.
The move comes on the back of a successful season for British skiers and also takes into account the positive reception to the programming.
Commented David Kerr, head of sport at Channel 4: "British skiers are having a terrific season and with great stories like the resurgence of Herman Meier also fighting for space, we have decided to extend the Sunday programme. With 7 hours of winter sports a week, Channel 4 viewers now have more comprehensive coverage of the Skiing World Cup than we've ever had on British TV."
UK terrestrial broadcaster Channel 4 is boosting its skiing coverage by extending its weekly highlights show.
