Recently, Reuters announced its web TV programming iniative with YouTube. Now, AOL’s Huffington Post Media Group is developing an even more robust online video offering for its own website: the Huffington Post Streaming Network, or HPSN. Presently, competitors are the Wall Street Journal and Fox News offer live online programming in the style of cable news, but only during the workday. Bloomberg also makes its live broadcast available for free on the iPad 24 hours per day, but most cable news operations only share short clips of their TV programming on the web.
Huffington Post Streaming Network can be view as a cable channel minus the subscription. Thus, the Huffington Post‘s existing editorial staff of 300+ will offer live commentary throughout the day, and the footage will later be cut into clips to be embedded throughout the site. Presumably we can expect to access the stream through the Huffington Post‘s apps as well.
Further information would be announced at a press event in New York City on Feb. 2.
