Sky 3D Launches April 2010

Sky will broadcast the world's first live 3D TV sports event on 31 January 2010

In April 2010, Sky plan to launch Sky 3D, Europe's first dedicated 3D TV channel. Initially, the channel will be available to commercial customers, offering a live Premier League match in 3D each week. Later in the year, as availability of 3D TV sets continues to grow, Sky plan to make Sky 3D available to all Sky+HD customers, with a wide range of 3D content including movies, sport, documentaries, entertainment and the arts. Sky 3D will work with all existing Sky+HD boxes and will initially be introduced at no extra cost for customers who subscribe to Sky's top TV package and the Sky+HD pack.

As part of the preparations for this ground-breaking launch, Sky will broadcast the world's first live 3D TV sports event on 31 January 2010. Live coverage of the Premier League match between Arsenal and Manchester United will be filmed in 3D and broadcast over the Sky platform to selected pubs around the UK and Ireland.
