Sky goes to another dimension

SUNDAY’S Premier League football match between Arsenal and Manchester United will be the world’s first live 3D TV sports broadcast, Sky said yesterday.

Football fans at nine pubs in London, Manchester, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Dublin will don shades to become the first audiences anywhere in the world to watch live 3D sport.

The top-of-the-table clash at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium will be the public’s first taste of live 3D football ahead of Sky’s dedicated 3D channel launching in April. Sky promises to broadcast a weekly 3D Premier League game to hundreds more pubs this spring.
