ISB, which is headed up by experienced Olympic broadcaster Manolo Romero, will handle the worldwide feed for the Athens 2004 Paralympic Games, which will take place September 17-29.
The IPC and ISB expect nearly 100 broadcasters from around the world to cover the Games.
Comment IPC president Phil Craven: "In ISB, we have found the ideal partner to provide first class feeds to all broadcasters. As the Paralympic Games will take place in Europe, we expect even more coverage than in Sydney in 2000, where 300 million television viewers followed the competitions."
The host broadcaster will provide national and international media with comprehensive audio and video feeds of all key events of the Paralympic
Games, including daily live feeds from some venues and highlights summaries. ISB will also sell the broadcasting rights to national and international broadcasters.
