WBZ-TV (Channel 4) will continue to be the official broadcasting home of the Boston Marathon.
The station said today that it renewed its partnership with the Boston Athletic Assocation through 2012. WBZ has had the exclusive local, live broadcasting rights for the marathon for 27 years.
“The Boston Marathon is a world class sporting event, and a favorite of the people of New England,” said Ed Piette, general manager of Boston’s WBZ-TV and TV38 (WSBK) in a statement. The station also streams the race live on its website: www.wbztv.com.
“We are delighted to continue to be the sole local broadcaster of the Marathon," said Piette.
The next marathon, which will be the 114th event, is April 19, 2010.
