Live IPL Cricket Soon To Hit YouTube

6 Comments » Share

YouTube is no doubt the clear leader in the online video industry, yet Google is working hard on this top site to expand. One interesting opportunity Google is planning to grab is the live sports streams on YouTube, which can certainly be a huge market. For now, the video site might announce a strong deal with Indian Cricket Premier League (IPL) live streaming the match on site, something that will indeed prove to be lucrative for Google. Some sources revealed that the deal from Google and IPL officials might come soon in a day or so.

Although Google might not show any confirmation, the IPL chair Lalit Kumar Modi tweeted:

wait and watch for breaking news soon

YouTube UK told paidContent:UK: “We can’t comment on rumour and speculation.” But Bruce Daisley, the lead for display ads and YouTube at Google in London, is quoted by Marketing mag as saying: “We’re keen to see how the community will take to live sport. There’s a real interest in live events, so we’re excited.”

IPL clips are very much available on YouTube and there has been a newly created section called “iplwillow’s Channel”, which does not have any videos for now, but seems like this is real-deal. There is lot of questions yet remained unanswered like in which and all countries the videos will be available and in what terms the video site would stream the matches, ad-supported, a pay-per-view model or even a subscription model.

The site is no new to live streaming, a U2 concert was streamed for free on YouTube some time ago, which brought about 10 million viewers across the world. And if this is going to be cricket, we already know the craze for the game.

Most of the games they offer for download are actually those that you can get from any website. These type of websites only use these games to entice you to their paid downloads.

I wanted to post you one very little word to give thanks again for the pleasant information you’ve shown on this website. This has been quite incredibly open-handed of you giving unreservedly exactly what a number of us would have offered for sale as an e-book in making some bucks for themselves, especially now that you could possibly have done it if you decided. These secrets as well served to provide a great way to know that other people have the same zeal just like my personal own to learn very much more when considering this problem. Certainly there are lots of more pleasurable times in the future for people who discover your blog.
