World Championships webcast
deal gets even better |
 |
The WCSN webcast (see www.wcsn.com) for the World Championships in Helsinki will cost only $4.95 (instead of the previously announced $14.95) for the entire meet, plus bonus coverage of Bislett Games.
The new webcast service will include start to finish live coverage (58 hours in all) of the IAAF World Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Helsinki Finland August 6-14. Every heat will be shown live and every event will be archived an hour after the event for later retrieval by subscribers. Viewers will need broadband internet access with at least 350 kb per second bandwidth. In addition to the webcast, there will be a daily 1-hour highlight show on PAX and Comcast Sports. In a free preview of the new technology, the Bislett Games in Oslo Norway July 29 will be webcast. This will be the first Bislett Games in Oslo's newly renovated stadium, and it will feature US runners such as Bernard Lagat, Alan Webb, Galen Rupp, and Adam Goucher.
The new coverage is a cooperative effort between the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), USA Track & Field (USATF), the World Championships Sports Network (WCSN), and Dentsu Inc. USATF CEO Craig Masback said, "This is a test for those who have been yearning for more coverage of elite track and field." |

It's kind of like eating, oh, a premium triple chocolate fudge brownie ice cream sundae. You might feel stuffed and a little woozy, but like you've never devoured anything so delicious." |
