Joost brings live NCAA March Madness

March 19, 2008 21.23 Europe/London By Robert Briel

ncaa.jpgOnline web TV service Joost will run live tests with coverage of the NCAA March Madness games beginning today (Thursday, March 20) at 4.20 pm GMT. The first-round game schedule has 16 games which can be seen today. 

Joost cautions its viewers with the message: “Since this is a test of our live peer-to-peer streaming service, and we expect some things will go wrong, we’re doing one last run-through before NCAA March Madness® begins.” Last week an earlier test of Joost Live ran into problems with apparently few people actually able to see the live feed from a Joost studio in Leiden, The Netherlands.
