Livestation showcased at TV Over Net Conference, London

The future of live television is on the Internet

12 March 2008

Matteo Berlucchi, CEO of Livestation, the global news platform for the Internet, will be speaking at the 2nd annual TV Over Net conference.

Matteo will be a panel speaker on Wednesday 12th March at 10:30 in a session entitled: Internet TV - Disruption and Accommodation.

Matteo will be entering the debate on how disruptive Internet technologies will change the way we currently consume TV content, and in particular how live news will be consumed over the Internet. Livestation is the world’s first global news platform, where multiple news channels, from around the world, can be viewed in one player.

Livestation takes the conventional one dimensional way to watch news one step further by broadcasting multiple news networks, live and simultaneously across the Internet, within a single, controlled, rights managed platform.

Chris Cramer, former President of CNN International who recently joined the Livestation team as a strategic advisor, commented “I’m working with Livestation because I believe the technology and platform represent the future of television news consumption. Livestation’s ability to provide immediate access to multiple, respected news channels will raise expectations for how consumers receive news. Broadcasters that choose to stream live content will increase their viewership and extend greater value to advertisers.”

About the TV Over Net conference

Internet TV is the next big thing in media and when it finally takes off it will shake the TV industry to its core, disrupting long-established business models with significant new threats and opportunities. The 'TV Over Net' conference is dedicated to this emerging platform and will investigate the impact that broadcast-quality streaming TV and VOD over broadband will have on content and channel owners, classic Pay TV content aggregators and platform operators, the new breed of Internet-based platform providers, and of course, consumers.
