First Legal Streaming Super Bowl A Success, But Audience Still Denied The Real Show
Lately, we've been seeing more and more big television events come with an online streaming counterpart. Big sporting and televised events are showing up online, with the 2010 Olympics seeming to be one of the first big global events where both viewers and media publicly recognized the power and potential of carrying an event like that online. For the first time ever, the Super Bowl is being shown online, for free. And it's completely legal. I was going to say "in a brilliant move by the NFL," but this should be default. Showing an enormously popular event like the Super Bowl online should not be a "brilliant" move. It should just be second nature. But, wishful thinking aside, the NFL and NBC both wanted to give home viewers options to watch the big game on the Web, without having to rub elbows with the riff raff at a local sports bar.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/pe5NpOrZTio/
