Wi-Fi TV Teams With Poker TV Network to Offer Live and On-Demand Gaming Content
Wi-Fi TV Inc. (OTC: WTVN), which streamed the
first full-length movie on the Internet in 1995 and in 2005 became a
pioneer in Internet TV, announced today that it has formed a strategic
content alliance with Poker TV Network Inc. to offer Poker related live and
on-demand content at www.Wi-FiTV.com. Wi-Fi TV also announced it has added
Gaming and Poker categories to its live and interactive TV web site.
"Poker TV Network offers live and on-demand Poker related content from
around the world, and we are delighted to be adding Poker TV today as Wi-Fi
TV Channel 65. Poker TV is our Channel of the Week, and can be found on our
home page and the category pages for Las Vegas, Gaming and Poker. Soon we
will be adding on-demand content produced by the Poker TV Network," said
Alex Kanakaris, Chairman, Wi-Fi TV Inc.
"Poker TV Network.com is pleased to bring our exclusive programming to the
global content platform offered by Wi-Fi TV. We look forward to working
with Wi-Fi TV to expand our audience and the reach of our sponsors," said
Eric Rosenberg, president of Poker TV Network Inc.
Wi-Fi TV Inc.'s distribution platform is called InterSat(TM) because it
utilizes both satellite and Internet delivery technologies in tandem to
offer a global delivery platform compatible and accessible to the widest
possible number of TV stations, radio stations and content producers.
Wi-Fi TV InterSat(TM), like satellite radio, offers stations the
opportunity to reach a large geographic audience and to do so without the
licensing associated with traditional TV and radio. Wi-Fi TV InterSat(TM)
delivery also offers a number of interactive features not possible with
traditional TV and radio.
The Wi-Fi TV InterSat(TM) system was successfully implemented by Wi-Fi TV
in a Beta format for two live events: New Year's Eve from Times Square and
the Tarver-Jones 3 pre-fight weigh in. In each case live coverage from
cameras on the scene were uploaded to a satellite, retrieved from the
satellite at the location of Wi-Fi TV Internet servers, encoded on the fly,
and streamed by Wi-Fi TV both live and archived to a global audience. In
the case of the New Year's Eve webcast, a live Wi-Fi TV chat feature
included comments from viewers in such countries as China, Russia and the
United States.
