Servecast joins with Sky Sports to provide live audio commentary to Nine Premiership Clubs

Dublin, Ireland, 26 March 2003.

Servecast, the leading provider of online broadcasting solutions, today agreed a deal with Sky Sports to provide live online broadcasting of audio commentaries across the range of nine Premiership Club sites managed by Sky Sports.

Following a trial period in which Servecast initially provided audio streaming solutions for the Manchester City and Leeds United sites, the service was rolled out across the portfolio of Club sites managed by Sky Sports, including Manchester United, Chelsea, Everton, Southampton, Sunderland, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United.

"The Premiership Club sites we manage are accustomed to delivering the best online solutions to their fans through Sky Sports," said John O'Connor, Commercial Director at Sky Sports. "We were looking for a live audio streaming partner who could meet our high standards and Servecast proved throughout the trial period we ran with them, that they have the ability to provide a comprehensive and efficient service, and can react promptly and effectively to the requirements of live streaming."

David Marié, Head of Sales for Servecast commented: "We are very pleased to be partnering with Sky, and look forward to working with them to deliver quality live commentaries to the fans of these Clubs. Having worked with many of the leading sporting bodies, including Liverpool FC, Glasgow Celtic FC, Manchester United, Everton, Coventry, Ipswich, the IRFU, UEFA, the Gaelic Athletic Association and Jordan Grand Prix, this deal with Sky Sports cements our position as the market leader in this sector."
