Narrowstep launch world's first global broadband sailing channel

Sail.tv, the world's first 24/7 sailing broadband television channel, has been launched by Narrowstep.
The channel is completely free of charge to anywhere in the world with a broadband connection and aims to offer the sailing community a one-stop-shop for all sailing footage.
The channel, which will be supported by sponsorship and advertising, is completely unique and will offer internet audiences a wide range of programming including top class regattas, instructional videos, new sailor signings, boat launches, interviews with the stars, Boat Show coverage, news, reviews and information on the latest developments within the sport from around the world.
Narrowstep, the market leaders in creating global broadband channels, created the concept of a niche sailing channel to offer enthusiasts around the world the opportunity to watch world class events not often afforded mainstream TV coverage.
Currently Narrowstep has over 70 global channels in existence offering live, archive, highlights and on demand viewing seven days a week, 365 days a year at top class quality. The Narrowstep technology can offer viewing speeds between 56kb to 1800kb depending on a viewer's internet speed which the technology automatically detects on login.
Cliff Webb, Chief Operating Officer for Narrowstep, said: "We have already seen the success of Narrowstep's niche sport channels such as www.cycling.tv which offers exclusive footage of world class cycling events, as well as www.high.tv, the world's first extreme sports channel on the internet. Both channels have secured a dedicated following, demonstrating the success of internet television. Our technology paves the way to reach special interest users, and offers a highly targeted delivery for advertisers. There's no doubt this is an excellent enhancement to other broadcast activities around a sport."
