AURORA, Ill. (December 17, 2001) - Through the combined resources of Clear Channel International, (a division of Clear Channel Worldwide) and ESPN, Clear Channel Entertainment announced today the international television distribution details of 2002's EA SPORTS Supercross.

Reaching key markets including England, France, Israel, and Italy, the 2002 EA SPORTS Supercross events are projected to reach more than 131 million homes in more than 300 countries or territories, not including the United States, representing an increase of more than 50% from 2001's international distribution.

"This is awesome news for supercross fans. Spin the globe and pick any spot, and EA SPORTS Supercross is on a TV somewhere. Through ESPN's footprint in Latin America and the Middle East, and Clear Channel International's connections our international coverage is at the sports highest ever," said Michael Weber, executive vice president of television for Clear Channel Entertainment's motor sports division. "I have no idea how many Ricky Carmichael fans there are in Madagascar, but you can bet there will be more by the end of the season" added Weber.
