About Big Screens

The Big Screens bring 22 cities across the UK to life. This is a unique collaboration between the BBC, LOCOG and UK local authorities. The London 2012 Organising Committee is a partner of the Big Screens. During 2012 the screens and the areas around them will become “Live Sites”. They will be the destination for live coverage, local content, news and events related to the Olympic and Paralympic games.

The screens are the latest digital video displays, measuring twenty-five square metres on average, with a computer-controlled playout and audio system.

Each screen is customised to reflect life in its community with a broad range of local content, including events listings, events and partnerships with community, arts & media organisations.

The Big Screens relay a combination of major broadcast events, news, sport and music. There are also interactive facilities to allow the audience to text their comments, send photo-images to the screen or play interactive applications.
