UK broadcaster Channel 4 is “enhancing” its partnership with YouTube to offer viewers “every single moment” of the Paris Paralympics.
Channel 4 Sport’s YouTube channel will offer up to 18 concurrent streams and more than 1,300 hours of coverage from all the events available for live coverage by the Games’ organisers, said the broadcaster.
The YouTube channel will complement the broadcaster’s linear coverage, said Channel 4.
Pete Andrews, Channel 4’s head of sport, said: “We’re thrilled to have teamed up with YouTube so audiences will have more ways to watch the Paralympians when they take centre stage in Paris.
“We know how popular YouTube is with the younger audience and it’s this sort of partnership and innovation that will help promote the Paralympics to people of all ages all across the UK.”
Channel 4 will be covering all the action from the Games, as well as the Opening and Closing ceremonies, from its remote production centre in Cardiff.
