Mediabistro is reporting that Livestation might change the way that news is viewed. It would allow news to stream, live, on computers 24/7.
Obviously this innovation, while now being introduced at NAB this week, could challenge traditional viewing of news.
The concept now in Beta, obviously, is going to have challenges with licensing although networks such as ITN, BBC, SkyNews and Al Jazeera are testing the waters. American-based companies such as MSNBC, CNN and Fox are currently being approached but there is no word whether or not they will join Livestation.
Currently, Livestation will be selling ads and fees to offer the service to the public. It will be interesting to see if this website will be useful for news junkies. Mediabistro has the story of how the industry is reacting to this innovative news proposal.
