WorldTV makes its worldwide debut empowering users to create, manage and operate their own personalized television station on the Web for free. With WorldTV, anyone can easily create their own full-screen, high-def capable, branded video channels and populate them with video clips from the Internet’s top user-generated and video-sharing sites from around the globe.
WorldTV turns users into professional television programmers, providing them with easy-to-use media tools to instantly package their favorite clips into a personalized and branded video channel. The simple and intuitive Flash-based interface enables anyone to program a channel lineup by just dragging and dropping content from across their favorite sites. They can either create themed channels on specific subjects, or simply compile their favorite video clips and have them all archived in one convenient secure location. WorldTV will be open to the first 10,000 “programmers” to sign up. Additional users will be added at regularly planned intervals.
Programmers can then create a branded logo for their channel and immediately send a personalized URL to share their programming with friends. They can annotate their content by uploading video through their webcam. Additionally, programmers can embed a WorldTV viewer on their blog or social networking page for expanded distribution of their channel. WorldTV content is immediately accessible to their friends’ network in a full-screen viewing experience.
Eventually WorldTV will provide potential revenue opportunities for programmers allowing them to integrate advertising clips in their channels.
