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."
