BBC wins 2012 Paralympic radio rights
by Adam D Thu Feb 10, 2011 9:18 am
BBC Radio 5 live and its sister station 5 live sports extra have been awarded radio rights for the 2012 London Paralympic Games.
The event takes place from 29 August (17 days after the Olympics close) to 9 September and will include 20 sports.
Twenty-five hours of programmes and news from the London Games will be broadcast on 5 live, with commentary and analysis on 5 live sports extra.
Boss Adrian Van Klaveren said the Games will generate "unprecedented interest".
He added: "We're committed to bringing our listeners all of the sporting stories, capturing the human drama and raising awareness of Paralympic sport."

great news in my opinion. Glad to see that the Beeb is still supporting the event.

Thanks for that Hobo.
I see Channel 4 have been awarded the television rights to the Paralympics
It will be interesting to see what they make of it.
