World's Largest Online Video Media of Extreme Sports Announces LIVE Coverage of World Cup
Freecaster.tv LIVE at the Nissan UCI Mountain Bike World Cup 4X & Downhill ChampionshipsSince Freecaster's launch in Spring 2004, the Mountain Bike World Championships have always been a very special moment for the world's largest online video media for extreme sports.
Much has been achieved since Freecaster covered Fabien Barel's dramatic victory at the Mountain Bike World Championships in Les Gets - France. Over the last 4 years Freecaster has worked relentlessly to cover freeride and downhill mountain bike events around the world. In 2007, for the first time, Freecaster will cover the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships LIVE from Fort Williams.
A high quality h.264 stream will cover the 4X events on Friday 07th September, the x-country events on Saturday 8th September as well as the downhill events on Sunday 9th September. This LIVE Freecaster.tv coverage is accessible to any broadband connected computer running QuickTime 7.
"This is yet another milestone for Freecaster who pioneered the concept of free high quality online video when it launched at a time no one had heard of YouTube, a service that differs a lot from the Freecaster concept" says Raymond Dulieu, founder of Freecaster. "Since 2004, we concentrate on high quality video coverage that we offer in h.264, a video format that even YouTube and now Adobe Flash are adopting. We also always ensured that the content accessible on Freecaster would be free for the users but rights cleared so that any sites using the Freecaster player would never be featuring content without clearance, something that still today is not a guarantee when using videos from the most popular video sharing sites. Freecaster also innovated with high quality LIVE coverage of events, all accessible free of charge as Freecaster is funded by advertising revenues, a well established business model at Freecaster." he adds.
Freecaster is proud to work with the world’s leading extreme sports events, having last month partnered the X-Games. The relationship has been significant in reinforcing Freecaster’s leadership position in action sports and the announcement of their coverage of the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup leverages the brand further forward. “Media partners committed to Freecaster.tv benefit from years of industry participation and market knowledge”, adds Dulieu.
Freecaster.tv continues paving the way in innovative video technology, pre-announcing the launch of the new version of their high quality video player for the end of this summer.
At the World Championships 2007, 700 of the World's top riders from more than 50 nations worldwide will compete across the four mountain bike disciplines of Cross Country, Downhill, 4-Cross and Trials for a total of 19 World Championship titles. Freecaster.tv is proud to bring LIVE coverage of the Nissan UCI World Cup Championships to viewers online.
“I'm delighted by the support we're receiving and that makes Freecaster.tv the number one destination for action sports video in the world”, finishes Raymond Dulieu.
Freecaster is your source for sports and music beyond TV.
