LONDON, ENGLAND, April 08, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Sky has launched an online pub finder ahead of Saturday's launch of Sky 3D for the top of the table clash between Manchester United and Chelsea. The Barclays Premier League match kicks off at 12pm on Saturday, 3 April.
More than a thousand pubs and clubs across Britain will be showing the game, with new venues being added to the pub finder daily and further venues expected to sign up before the end of the season.
Following the game on 3rd April, Sky will show at least a further five Premier League games - to be announced - before the current season ends on Sunday 9th May as well as the Coca-Cola Football League Play-Off Finals from Wembley Stadium at the end of May, all live and all in 3D.
Sky's installers have been working hard to ensure the vast majority of pubs on the finder have been kitted out with
3D TVs and 3D glasses in time for the match. To be sure their local is one of those, fans are advised to check with their pub before the game.
Outside of the live games, a showreel showcasing the best of
Sky 3D - which will cover a wide range of different programming - will run on Sky 3D during selected hours of the day. This programming, which will run from launch, will also be available to residential customers who subscribe to Sky's top channels and HD pack.
