World Championships to be Webcast

[rainbowgirl28]

Here is the website that will be webcasting it...

http://www.wcsn.com/


And here is what Masback has to say about it...

On the webcast: "For the first time, it will be possible for anyone in the United States--and this will be geographically limited to the United States--to watch all 58 hours of the international field via pay-per-view webcast. This is something that WCSN is making available and coordinating the technical side of... The entire 58 hours will be available for $14.95, and once you've purchased the $14.95 package, you will have unlimited ability to view the archival footage, so that at the end of each day's session--and of course, the sessions vary according to day--once the live coverage is finished, about an hour later, the archives of footage will be available, and at 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time each day, the one-hour highlight show will be available via the webcast... There also will be a daily subscription opportunity available for $3.95 per day. The streaming content is going to made available by Windows Media Player 9. What will be required technically from the people with broadband access will be the ability to access 350 kilobytes per second. There's going to be a two-minute summary of each day that WCSN will produce and will make available via its website, again just to introduce to people the concept of watching a competition like this via the web... WCSN also owns the Golden League rights from the IAAF this summer, and they're going to make available live via the web the Bislett Games on July 29 for free (their website is www.wcsn.com).

T&F News Reports that the price is going to be reduced to $4.95 for the whole meet!

Sounds like a great deal. If I wasn't going to be on the road the whole time I might sign up... heck I'll probably sign up anyway!

World's are August 6th-14th.

From Walt Murphy:

Since it's getting late, I thought it would be better to start a fresh thread on this.

If you signed up for the webcast coverage of the World Championships, you should receive a confirmation e-mail later today that will provide payment instructions. You should take care of this right away, since you will also get access to tomorrow's Bislett Games from Oslo.

Remember, it's only $4.95 for the entire package--live web coverage of Oslo and more than 50 hours of coverage from the World Championships in Helsinki(Aug.6-14). If you haven't done so already, go to www.wcsn.com and sign up now!

Coaches--encourage your athletes to take advantage of this great bargain.
