PSA To Provide Streaming
At Super Series Finals
Following the success of the
second pilot test at the Bermuda Open in March, the Professional Squash
Association (PSA) has confirmed that a further pilot internet streaming
service will be carried out at next week's Brit Insurance Super Series
Finals at Broadgate Arena in London, for the dates 12th to 14th May
inclusive.
PSA Chief Executive Gawain Briars comments: "After the exponentially
better service we achieved the second time out, at the Bermuda Open, PSA
is delighted to be able to provide the next streaming service of the best
players in the world playing at a major PSA event, again free of charge to
our viewers and underwritten by PSA, this time from the Brit Insurance
Super Series Finals in Broadgate.
"We received such positive and objective responses from thousands of
viewers last time, and we hope that the experience will be at least as
good again this time.
"Specifically, in collaboration with Horizon Services who are sharing the
costs, we shall broadcast all matches of the last three days of the
event - being the final day of qualification, followed by the
semi-finals and the final, on the 12th, 13th and 14th May, respectively,"
Briars explained.
"However, because the venue has been unable to provide an internet
connection directly into the arena, we shall be broadcasting on a delayed
(but short) live basis at the end of each evening to provide our
operatives sufficient time to get to the broadband terminal for upload.
"Again, the streaming can be received on PCs in either lo-resolution or
hi-resolution, and the matches will also be immediately uploaded for
replays. Chat room and feedback facilities will be in place and, once
again, we only ask that our viewers assist us in this ground-breaking new
service for squash by remaining fair and objective with your views - which
we do want to receive," Briars added.
