BBC To Offer Olympic Streams On TV
The BBC will make 24 Live HD streams of the Olympics available to its satellite and cable providers.
This means that viewers will be able to watch every Olympic sport live for the duration of the games.
It will be the first time viewers have been given the opportunity to follow one particular sport throughout the day.
BBC's Director of London 2012, Roger Mosey, said on his Blog: "The aim is that you'd be able to pick from watching BBC Olympics 1 right through to BBC Olympics 24 with full programme guides and the ability to record your favourite sports.
"These are the first truly digital Olympics where we'll offer more choice than ever before, and the pledge we made is that you'll be able to watch sport from every venue from first thing in the morning to last thing at night."
Mr Mosey said the BBC had agreed with Sky to show the live streams across 24 channels, with more announcements from other providers expected soon.
Previously, the BBC had only planned to broadcast the streams online.
