Sport Relief was set up by Comic Relief and BBC Sport to tackle poverty and disadvantage, both in the UK and internationally. The very first Sport Relief in July 2002 brought the world of sport together under one banner for the first time, raising a truly impressive £14.4 million. This time around, Sport Relief is aiming to do even better. The vision is to harness the power, passion and goodness of sport to help change the world.

BBC Broadcast's new simulated sports field system for BBC SPORT is the first technology of its kind to enable viewers to see 'play' from angles that can not be captured by conventional cameras. It will make its rugby debut during the RBS Six Nations Championship, which goes out on BBC ONE on Saturday 5 February.

The 1970s BBC2 programme Pot Black was arguably the reason for the sport's great popularity over the last 30 years. Snooker produced the largest ever audience for BBC2 with the 1985 World Snooker Championship final between Steve Davis and Dennis Taylor pulling in 19 million viewers just after midnight. Although not the most glamourous of sports, the sport always pulls in large viewing figures for the BBC through tournaments such as the World Snooker Championships, the Masters, the UK Championship and the Grand Prix. The coverage is regularly hosted by Hazel Irvine and Ray Stubbs.

Barbara Slater, the BBC's head of general sports, remarked: "This is an exciting opportunity that will ensure Wimbledon reaches an even wider audience. The live streaming coverage will make one of the biggest sporting events in the world available to broadband users in the UK wherever they are, at home or in the office".
