Canadian Networks Have Games Covered As Never Before

February 13th, 2010 Posted in Today's Special by Michael Silbergleid |

For the technologically savvy, CanWest News Service reports that the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games will be the most connected, wired, interactive Olympiad since the creation of the Olympic torch.

There will be more than 700 hours of video-on-demand alone, in both French and English, thanks to a consortium of Canadian broadcasters and cable companies that includes CTV, TSN, Rogers, Shaw, EastLink, Source Cable and Delta Cable.

For more on the Canadian production of the Games, visit http://www.calgaryherald.com/sports/2010wintergames/Networks+have+Games+covered+never+before/2560295/story.html
