Tennis fans can look forward to watching around the clock coverage of the 2008 Championships at Wimbledon on their computers through MediaZone’s Wimbledon LIVE.
For the third consecutive year, MediaZone is the Official Live Broadband Video Partner, in cooperation with IBM and the AELTC, and will be streaming the Grand Slam live for online viewers worldwide.
The 2008 Wimbledon LIVE service includes full match coverage of Center Court and Number 1 Court action, as well as 6 other courts in play.
In total, the service includes more than 300 matches and immersion features such as user ability to toggle between up to 8 courts, as well as live commentary, and complete integration with the official Wimbledon website.
Viewers are able to combine video coverage with player information, live scoring and statistics from all matches.
Since its debut in 2006, Wimbledon LIVE has joined March Madness and the Masters as mainstays on the broadband sports circuit as consumers have increasingly embraced the Web for hard to find sporting events or coverage that expands on traditional broadcast offerings.
In its two previous years, MediaZone’s coverage of Wimbledon has set tennis industry records for site visitors, live streams and downloads, while achieving a 129% increase in revenue.
