Med1a Launches View TV Local

Med1a, the IPTV consultancy, is launching ‘View TV Local’, a platform of IPTV channels on which content owners, marketers and publishers can provide Internet TV to local towns and communities.

The View TV Local portal comprises website technology, video footage and User Generated Content (UGC) such as news and weather reports and local information, which can be transmitted to local communities almost instantly.

The first local channels to launch on the new service include Chester TV, Tamworth TV and Redditch TV. The channels are received on a PC via broadband, with a web browser pointed at www.viewtvlocal.com or a dedicated webaddress.

Each channel is scaleable up to 250,000 concurrent viewers and costs less per viewer than digital and cable broadcasting.
