BT Sport streams football results show via Twitter

UK pay-television broadcaster BT Sport has agreed a deal to stream live its BT Sport Score football results service via social media platform Twitter.

Twitter users in the UK will be able to view the programme for free.

BT Sport Score was streamed live on Twitter for the first time on Saturday via the @btsportscore account.

The programme, which provides live updates of matches taking place across the UK on Saturday afternoons, will still also be broadcast on the BT Sport channels.

Last year, BT Sport streamed live coverage of the Uefa Champions League and Europa League finals on video-sharing website YouTube, as well as on its official website and mobile application. Both finals were available free of charge.
