According to English, 'With the Flow TV coverage, the FlowRio2016Extra App, and the microsite, Flow customers will experience a 360 degree viewing revolution, making this their best Olympic experience ever. We are effectively the Home of Sports in the Caribbean and there is no better way to see the Olympics without actually travelling to Rio.
