I am most pleased to see BB.com will be webcasting it, after that Hardbody fiasco last year.

They're making it free due to the terrible quality of last year's, correct?
While the quality sucked last year, it was still worht it to see Jay win live. Me and my friends went NUTS.

Last year's fiasco wasn't a Bodybuilding.com production. That was Hardbody. |

Same here......all the athletes are looking smooth....you can't really see the details.... If it was like the quality lets say of a bodybuilding dvd it would be amazing. Besides its free so why complain? Bob do smthing. |

It all depends on how the bandwidth is in terms of how fast the computers are around the world. They are experimenting with a higher resolution and larger screen, but will it work or slow down the webcast.

WOW! That's fantastic!
Good luck to all involved as I'm sure this is an enormous feat!
So happy to see that lots of people who can't make it, will be able to see it live.
Some of my wife's friends and family have always wanted to see her compete...now they'll get to see her competing at the O.
Thanks BB.com, Weider and all the other Co's working on this.

I thought Hardbody Entertainment had a '3-year agreement' to do this.

Ron thanks for the thorough webcast information. In answer to one of the questions posed, YES there will be a first-rate DVD of the show produced directly by AMI/Weider/Olympia Events LLC and not by Hardbody or the 2005 producer. It will be available at www.IFBBTV.com and shipping is expected well before the holidays. So everyone can watch the live show for free for the "news" of the event, courtesy of BodyBuilding.com, and then see the great physiques full screen via DVD. |
