Australian Broadcaster Suspends Internet Radio Over Olympics RightsAuthored by Mark Hefflinger on August 16, 2004 - 2:47am.
Sydney -- The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) has suspended the majority of its Internet radio webcasts, in light of restrictions placed by the International Olympics Committee (IOC) on Olympics coverage. The broadcaster did not secure rights to broadcast Olympics highlights on its Internet radio stations, many of which are simulcasts of terrestrial stations that are featuring regular Olympics news updates. "The IOC has restricted rights so that we can't mention the Olympic Games at all, so therefore we can't stream any station that has news bulletins," Ian Vaile, head of content for new media and digital services for the ABC, told CNET News.com. As a result, ABC has shut down streaming at most of its Internet radio stations for the duration of the games.
