PARALYMPICS: Dedicated Internet TV to air live event coverage from Italy{mosimage}The Paralympic Winter Games, which begin March 10 in Torino, Italy, have always had difficulty securing television space. So now organizers have taken matters into their own hands.

The International Paralympic Committee has launched an Internet television channel — www.paralympicsport.tv — that will allow viewers to watch action live or on-demand.

The channel is expected to provide more than 100 hours of live coverage from all four winter Paralympic sports — alpine skiing, ice sledge hockey, nordic skiing and wheelchair curling — as well as the opening and closing ceremonies.
