Yahoo has a live ABC feed, MSN has a live MSNBC feed (natch) but Google/YouTube has no “TV” coverage. Guess YouTube Live was more important. When Google said it was not a media company, I guess they were serious. So far, the CNN/Livestation joint coverage is a clear winner.

There’s little doubt that one of the major themes for CES 2009 will be the plethora of efforts to grab video from the PC and move it to plasma TVs in the living room and elsewhere around the house. My colleagues and I hope to see of many of this new marvels as possible (and [...]

Economy in trouble? Layoffs coming in horrific waves? Daily newspapers filing for bankruptcy? Oprah packing on the pounds? Hah. We’re not worried about any of that sort of mundane sort of trivia. What we want to know is does a straight beat a flush. Or what did Paris Hilton wear to some wonderful after-party. Or [...]

As previously stated, I am a video guy. Back in the day, I was an A/V nerd and even worked after school to repair broken educational films by resplicing them when they cracked as they were wont to do. So, when the online consumer video craze began to surface about five years ago, I became [...]

Gartner issued a press release on a report I authored on protail video, a concept the Media IAS team began writing about a year ago.

In case you were watching another network or perhaps getting your election video fix via Associated Press’ live streaming coverage (via PC or Mac), you missed CNN’s freaky holograms.
