OTWOMD will be streaming live via online webcast video in real time, the World Youth Day 2011 in Madrid as it happens. This is the second time that OTWOMD will cover the events of the World Youth Day, for the sake of those who cannot attend the world youth day in Madrid. An estimated of 8 million young people all over the world will tune in to their respective computers and laptops to watch the World Youth Day Coverage. Below is the schedule of the event. Time and date of broadcast will differ depending on the timezone of each country. Australia is eight hours ahead of Madrid’s time zone so if for example an event will be held at 5 PM Madrid Time, therefore the real time broadcast of that event will be 1 AM that evening, Sydney Time. All estimated time of broadcast of the live feed is anchored on Madrid time. So if you are in a different time zone, calculate your time difference using Madrid as your reference. Refer to the schedule of live feed below the video.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHARING TIME WITH US.
WE ARE HOPING TO SERVE YOU AGAIN
AND BRING THE CELEBRATION RIGHT INTO YOUR HOMES
