World Championship Sports Network (WCSN) will offer the first live Webcast of the Boston Marathon as a result of a global, digital rights agreement negotiated earlier this year with event organizer, the Boston Athletic Association. The agreement is expected to be announced sometime this week. Terms were not available. WCSN will broadcast the entire race on April 21 and make it available to subscribers who pay $4.95 a month. With the Boston Marathon, WCSN now broadcasts all of the World Marathon majors, which includes the N.Y., Chicago, London and Berlin races.
