Don't know if you are aware but Youtube is now doing live broadcasts. http://www.youtube.com/live

They will be doing their first free live boxing event on Saturday night in partnership with Hatton Promotions - It's the Purdy - Watson rematch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8u6ALlY9k8 Starts at 7pm on the Live link above.

Interesting stuff.

I watched the European Amateur Championship on Youtube Live. Not a bad idea and seemed to work well.

interesting idea

Youtube, as broadcaster, has the biggest potential reach there is. Regular live shows on the channel can be viewed worldwide so it carries non of the geographical restrictions that comes with traditional networks.

This could be massive as more people connect their laptops to their tvs and watch like they would any other channel. Ultimately, internet TV will replace normal tv as future sets will come with built in internet connections.

reminder that this is on now

good quality stream too.

Great coup for Hatton Promotions... the first live stream in the UK using Youtube.... a bit of history... fantastic stream.

Anyone will know if this will be available after the live broadcast?

Yeah thats what i was thinking. Do Youtube say yes you can show this event or no you cant this event.

Either way it would be great it we had more events like this on the internet for free.

Damian is probably enquiring because he might open to doing it for his shows. A webcam would not be good enough, imo.

no it wont i was just giving an example how simplistic it can be.

i would think a HD Camcorder would be the best and cheepest way without buying an industrial on the should TV cam

Yep, and camcorders are quite cheap now. I think it's worth trying out.
