Limelight sets Olympic streams


July 22, 2008 For the first time, sports fans around the world will be able to access as many as 20 live Olympics events at once via Web streams serviced by Limelight Networks for such rights-holders as NBC. While NBC and its affiliate channels plan to put roughly 800 hours of the Beijing Games on television from Aug. 8-24, NASDAQ-listed Limelight will make as many as 2,200 hours of video available via NBCOlympics.com and the Web sites of the BBC and host broadcaster China Central Television. "You'll be able to watch four events simultaneously" in split screen, using media players Windows Media Player or Silverlight, Limelight co-founder Mike Gordon told The Hollywood Reporter on Monday.
