Twitter will live stream the Melbourne Cup
Twitter has partnered with the Victoria Racing Club to stream the 2016 Emirates Melbourne Cup to a global audience.
This is the first Twitter live streaming deal the social network has announced outside of the United States.
“Twitter is where the world of sport is happening every single day, and Australian sporting events don’t come more iconic than the Emirates Melbourne Cup,” it said.
“Live streaming the race to our logged-in and logged-out audience on Twitter and connected devices, combined with the live commentary and conversation on Twitter, will create a one-screen experience at the centre of the action unlike any other.”
