SportAccord TV prepares for launch

The dedicated broadband channel will deliver content ‘live from SportAccord’ to video screens at the convention in Athens and to broadband homes worldwide through a partnership with WCSN, the largest broadband service dedicated to international sport.

"A key development strategy for SportAccord is to add value to the delegate experience - not just during SportAccord Week but all year round," said SportAccord general manager Anna Hellman. “Developing this video service together with WCSN will not only provide more valuable content for the SportAccord website and the SportAccord community, but will also allow participants greater flexibility across the week.”

SportAccord TV is lining up interviews with top executives and personalities among the 1500 delegates expected to attend the sixth edition of SportAccord at the Athens Hilton from June 2-6, 2008.

At this year’s SportAccord the International Olympic Committee will also announce the names of the cities successfully making it to official candidate status in the race to host the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. Representatives from the cities will be invited to appear on SportAccord TV.
