The Indian Premier League has signed a deal to stream live coverage of cricket matches on the internet and mobile devices.
The deal, which is reported to be worth £25 million over 10 years, will cover India, Pakistan and the Middle East and will be a subscription based service.
Pete Clifton, head of editorial development for multimedia journalism at the BBC, has said 47 per cent of the 17 million weekly unique users to the BBC News website come from outside of the UK.
Around half of these users, he told the Online Publishers Association conference, are from the US with a strong ex-pat following, but growing interest from US nationals in the BBC’s news coverage.
The site is also popular in India and Canada, Clifton added.
YouTube has launched a localised version of the video-sharing site for India.
YouTube India will apply ‘an Indian lens’ to filter content from the main site for an Indian audience, according to the site’s blog.
Local content partners have also been signed up to distribute their videos through the site.
BBC World has tied up a deal with six mobile service providers in India to provide video clips to phones.
BBC also plans to increase it news programming on its television channel BBC World News and generate content for video on demand and podcasts as well, reports Indiainfo.
