All of this information is courtesy of http://www.nickandmore.com/2012/03/15/the-legend-of-korra-premieres-saturday-april-14-on-nickelodeon/
via a Nick press release.
So I will just isolate the important info from this press release.
The Premiere Info
First is that on April 14th at 11am Eastern Time Korra will premiere with back to back episodes, 1 and 2
We know from the leaks that Episode 1 is called “Welcome To Republic City” and now we know Episode 2 is called “A Leaf In The Wind”
Here is the description that the press release gives for Episodes 1 and 2 which I will dub here as K101 and K102.
In the premiere episode, “Welcome to Republic City,” Korra leaves the safety of her home and travels to bustling Republic City to begin her airbending training. Once there, she is shocked to find a big city full of dangers, including criminal bending gangs and a vocal anti-bending revolution. In episode two, “A Leaf in the Wind,” Korra is living with her airbending teacher Tenzin on Air Temple Island. Frustrated with her inability to master airbending, she turns her attentions to Republic City’s famous Pro-bending Arena. There she befriends two brothers, Mako (David Faustino) and Bolin (P.J. Byrne), who compete in professional bending matches. Korra is immediately drawn to Pro-bending’s dynamic fighting style.

Viewing Methods
I was not sure what exactly to call this section, but I think this fits
Starting today, fans can work to unlock an exclusive sneak peek of The Legend of Korra premiere at korranation.com. Beginning April 1, fans may log on to nick.com for an interactive experience and introduction to Republic City. Show information, fun facts, micro games and additional new content make up this “Welcome to Republic City” online experience. Also leading up to the television series premiere, Xbox users will have the opportunity to download the first episode and trailer for free and purchase episodes from Avatar: The Last Airbender. The first The Legend of Korra episode will be available on VOD. In conjunction with the series premiere, Nick’s mobile channel NIMO, will have a live simulcast of the first two episodes.
Interesting points are
- April 1st the Nick Korra page will be updated with more interactive features
- Closer to the premiere on April 14th Xbox owners can download trailers and Episode 1
So basically Episode 1 will be out before the television premiere in some form or another, we do not yet know if it will be for worldwide or USA only as all of Korra Nation’s video content so far has been.
Thanks for reading,
