Interesting IMO


Live cycling

Simon Brydon set up Cycling TV three years ago. Half a million pounds later, 2006 could be the first year that he makes a profit.


TV is keen to cover the Tour de France
"I just wanted the opportunity to see more cycling. I thought if nobody else will provide it we'll do it ourselves," he said.

While the bigger broadcasters rush to cover cycling's premier event, the Tour de France, often the only place you can find live coverage of other European races is on Cycling TV.

"It's during these times that simultaneous viewing figures peak hitting 8 or 9,000 - that's comparable to some established cable channels, and it's rising.

"The rights to many sports at the moment have no value whatsoever," Mr Brydon added. "In fact, a lot of sports pay traditional television companies for their coverage.

"That means the internet will be able to develop a small rights fee for a sport that traditionally doesn't have a value, and, for the rights owner, that's additional revenue for their sport."
