German Olympic channel to show badminton worlds

Sportdeutschland.TV, the German Olympic Committee’s (DOSB) online sports television channel, has acquired rights for the 2014 Badminton World Federation World Championships.

Sportdeutschland.TV, which rebranded from Splink.TV earlier this month, will show highlights and live coverage of the event.

The championships are running from August 25-31. The online platform is also currently providing coverage of the 2014 summer Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China.

“Our goal is to build an offering whereby everyone can enjoy their sports, but can also explore exciting new sports,” said Oliver Beyer, the chief executive of DOSB New Media, the operator of the platform.
