For the first time, 主播大秀 to offer live broadband streaming of Wimbledon to UK audiences
In a move that will offer UK tennis fans even greater access to one of the world's greatest tennis tournaments, the 主播大秀 today announced that, for the first time ever, UK broadband users will have access to five courts of live tennis action during the 2006
Wimbledon Championships.

The service, available free from 主播大秀 Sport's
dedicated Wimbledon website - bbc.co.uk/wimbledon - will feature coverage from
主播大秀's live terrestrial coverage and its digital interactive feeds, enhancing
the site's comprehensive news, latest scores and results service.

In addition to the live streaming of the 2006 Wimbledon Championships, tennis fans will also have the opportunity to catch-up on any action they miss as the site will be running short, three-minute highlight packages rounding up each day's play.

And for Wimbledon fans across the globe these highlights
will be available to an international audience.

Barbara Slater, 主播大秀 Head of General Sports, said: "This is
an exciting opportunity that will ensure Wimbledon reaches an even wider audience.

"The live streaming coverage will make one of
the biggest sporting events in the world available to broadband users
in the UK, wherever they are at home or in the office so they never
have to miss a game."
