YouTube to Stream Olympics to 77 Territories
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that YouTube will provide about three hours a day of exclusive content from the IOC’s Olympic Broadcasting Services on a dedicated channel during the Games. “The content, including highlight reels and daily wrap-ups but not live coverage, will reach 77 territories—South Korea, India and Nigeria among them—that aren’t officially covered by Olympic sponsors.”
Interestingly, U.S. viewers—where the IOC has sold digital video-on-demand rights on an exclusive basis—will be blocked from viewing the footage, according to the report.
