Channel 4 secure 2012 Paralympics rights
Channel 4 has been awarded the broadcast rights for the 2012 Paralympic Games. The commercial channel will broadcast 150 hours of coverage after winning what London organisers have called a "highly competitive tender process".
Although the BBC are host broadcasters for the London Olympics, there was a separate tender for the Paralympics which Sebastian Coe, chairman of London 2012, said had delivered the most lucrative deal in the movement's history.
