    The BBC has announced its ambitious plans for interactive coverage of the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens.

    Interactive services will include an additional 1,000 hours of live coverage on digital television and for the first time the extra video streams will also be available via broadband.

    Digital television viewers in the UK will have unprecedented access to more hours of Olympic action than ever before with the choice of up to four additional streams of coverage in addition to over 250 hours of coverage from the main network channels.

    Digital satellite and cable viewers will be able to choose from four extra events and terrestrial users will be able to access two additional events on Freeview.

    There will also be a daily schedule, medals table, results and news updates.
