Servecast powers LiverpoolFC.tv to another Internet first

Dublin, Ireland, 6 August 2003.

Servecast Limited, the leading international provider of webcasting solutions today announced that it provided the complete production and broadcast solution to enable LiverpoolFC.tv achieve another Internet first.

Liverpoolfc.tv made history last week when they became the first Premier League club to show live football from the Far East on the Internet. LiverpoolFC.tv, the official website of Liverpool Football Club, showed two matches exclusively live on a pay per view basis on the internet. Neither match was shown on television outside of the Far East so that the only way the two matches from Liverpool's pre-season campaign could be viewed was via the official Liverpool FC website.

From its Broadcast Operations Center in Dublin, Servecast provided complete production and webcast facilities including commentary, satellite, encoding, managed distribution and security services to successfully deliver the live broadband video streams to a global audience.

"Working closely with LiverpoolFC.tv over the last two years we have endeavoured to constantly push the boundaries of Internet broadcasting. This week we were delighted to achieve another historic 'first' by helping LiverpoolFC.tv broadcast their pre-season international matches live from Thailand and Hong Kong to a global internet audience.", said Kevin Quinn, founder of Servecast. "Our commitment to providing leading edge technology solutions backed up by the largest dedicated webcast R&D team and outstanding customer service ensured that these events were a complete success"
