Google is offering viewers more and more sports content, seemingly without having to shell out money on direct licenses. Now it has highlights from seven more tournaments, but is still lacking the world’s most-watched club soccer contest.
More data suggests these were the “mobile games”. London 2012’s organising committee says most digital engagement was via mobile devices, as it closes the lid on the Olympics with an end-of-games stats dump.
The BBC’s celebrated ‘four-screen’ London 2012 output has revealed a late-night iPad fetish and new high water marks for live video and mobile content consumption. ‘This has really been the multi-platform Games,’ the corporation says.
