European public TV networks launch free-to-air sports streaming platform under Eurovision banner

The collective of European public broadcasters has launched a free-to-air streaming service to show major championships in many Olympic sports. The first big event for the Eurovision Sport website and mobile application is the World Aquatics Championships being held in Qatar through Feb. 18. The biathlon worlds start Wednesday in the Czech Republic and will also be aired. Many of the European Broadcasting Union’s more than 100 member networks are already rights holders for at least some of the events. Many individual governing bodies of Olympic sports have their own streaming platforms but the Eurovision service is designed to bundle them under a single registration and log-in for viewers.
