Sport Magazine To Show Video Highlights Online

Sport magazine is set to offer video highlights from the Barclays Premier League and other sporting events on its website.

Sport-magazine.co.uk will show video content by embedding Perform’s e-player, which was launched earlier this week and is expected to be used by other major publishers including Virgin Media and ITV Sport (see Virgin Media Develops Sports Video Player).

The video clips will also feature footage from rugby competitions, golf majors, and England cricket matches, according to reports.

Greg Miall, managing director of Sport magazine, said: “These developments are allowing us to replicate the success of the magazine online and bring more interactive content to our readers.”

The free men’s weekly magazine relaunched its website recently and Miall said the e-player was a “great addition to our new look website”.
