Dear All

After many months of discussions and planning, I am delighted to announce the launch of our new broadband TV service - planetbadminton.tv.

This has been made possible through our relationship with Sunset + Vine, our current TV Sales and Production partner.
planetbadminton offers live on demand, pay per view and also access to archive. We will also be launching a subscription service after the All England. It allows anyone, anywhere in the world to view the All England and we are also currently discussing the building of further content with the aim of having one of the best broadband sports channels.
The web address is www.planetbadminton.tv and this currently lists what we are showing. We kick off with free streaming on Tuesday before Pay per View comes into effect from Wednesday onwards. Please note that due to our current TV contract with Sky, we are unable to broadcast streaming live from the 1/4 finals onwards.
We have also launched a promo on You Tube which can be seen by clicking onto http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=mj4HfD3Gotw&feature=user
 This is a massive step forwards for us as we continue to develop greater exposure for our sport. It also offers us a significant revenue stream.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone, in whatever role you have played, in the preparation of this years All England.
I can't wait to get to Birmingham on Tuesday and to enjoy another fantastic Championships.
I look forward to seeing you there.
Best wishes
Adrian Christy
