YouTube announced earlier that it would stream video live of the Beijing Olympics, but it was limited to countries that did not have any broadcast rights, thus excluding most of the western world.

Fortunately, YouTube has set up another Olympic channel for users world wide called: Summer Games. It will have a collection of videos and reports from Associated Press and Reuters.

“The Summer Games YouTube Channel is the ideal first stop for fans because it provides a comprehensive view of what’s going on in Beijing,” said Steve Grove, YouTube’s head of news and politics, in announcing the channel. “Contributing media organizations have their fingers on the city’s pulse and they’re sharing the action with a worldwide audience through one location on YouTube.”

These programs of news, recaps, features, profiles and the color and culture of Beijing from YouTube’s partners:
