IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federations)

The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) will stream live coverage of the inaugural World Relays event in the Bahamas this weekend.

The lack of a German broadcast platform for the Diamond League athletics series is a “major disadvantage” for the sport in Germany, according to the country’s International Association of Athletics Federations council member Helmut Digel.

The TV Media Sport agency has agreed a four-year deal to distribute rights to the International Association of Athletics Federations’ World Athletics Series events across sub-Saharan Africa.

The International Association of Athletics Federations has announced a significant increase in global television coverage for its 2014 World Indoor Championships, which took place from March 7-9 in Sopot, Poland.

Tennis: Pan-European cable and satellite broadcaster Eurosport extended its deal for coverage of the Australian Open for a further four years, from 2008 to 2011. Eurosport will also be the distribution agent for the media rights across Europe. The rights were previously held by the European Broadcasting Union, the umbrella group representing the region’s public-service broadcasters.
