Beeb to stream the World Cup

Auntie beeb seems to be the broadband sport users best friend, after
announcing that they will cover
Wimbledon,
now they are to stream the world cup!
This is due to a exclusive deal with Infront Sports & Media, the company
responsible for the worldwide marketing and sales of the broadcast rights to the
2006 FIFA World Cup.
The feed will be the same as it's terrestrial broadcast and as such it will
be limiting the service to licence fee payers in the UK. Also there will be
four-minute highlights for every single game too, which will be available
on-demand. For those who want to save their bandwidth will be able to hear a
Radio Five Live audio stream.
"You can watch the World Cup from the BBC at home on TV – or listen in the car on your radio – and now also see full live coverage on your PC."
"We know a lot of online viewing is done in the office, so we suspect this will allow people both to do their job and to keep up with the very latest action from Germany." |
| Roger Mosey BBC Director of Sport |
We're not sure too many bosses would agree with that!!
