StreamerNet™ Empowers Live Video Simulcast Of Regional Emmy Awards Broadcast
StreamerNet and TNDV Technologies Provide Expanded Audience Outreach and Monetization Platform for Audio/Video Content Owners
LEESBURG, VA and NASHVILLE, TN - January 26, 2007 — StreamerNet Corporation, together with Tennessee Digital Video Inc. (TNDV) today announced that the Nashville/Midsouth Chapter of The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) will utilize the companies’ Internet streaming technologies and digital mobile television production services, respectively, to simulcast the broadcast of the 21st Annual Midsouth Regional Emmy Awards live via the Internet.
“We are delighted to be the streaming broadcast technology platform for this regional Emmy Awards event,” stated William R. Hornbeck, president and CEO of StreamerNet. “As a regional event, the Midsouth Emmy Awards were previously available only to a finite population within the footprint of the local television stations covering the event. Now, the organizers and sponsors have a video distribution platform that allows universal access.”
Similar to any sponsor-supported television broadcast, online web streaming of the event increases its visibility and sponsor value as more viewers tune-in. This emerging area of the broadcast market is where StreamerNet is concentrating its efforts – primarily for content owners who are looking for ways to quickly and effectively monetize their productions.
“Internet streaming and the value-added technologies provided by StreamerNet offer a considerable boost in our ability to expand viewership for this or any other type of video production,” stated Nicholas E. Dugger, Tennessee Digital Video. “The midsouth Emmy Awards production is an ideal event at which to showcase StreamerNet and TNDV capabilities because the very people and organizations being recognized are also the leaders who understand how technology is transforming the broadcast industry in many interesting ways. We’re anticipating considerable interest to result from the Emmy stream production.”
