Digital Spy , Sunday, July 1, 2012 3:13 PM
The broadcaster is bringing coverage of events including Wimbledon and the Olympics to the social network, allowing online viewers to discuss the action via chat and comments. Starting or 'liking' a stream will display it in the news feed, while an in-app Activity Stream will provide users with real-time updates about what their friends are watching. The BBC's televised coverage can be streamed through the platform, in addition to six extra matches from across the courts. A comments thread and sharing features will be in place for the Olympics.
