The Associated Press Video Hub is now out of beta, offering 24/7 news videos. Content is curated from the Internet and supplemented by the AP’s archives.
AP is hoping the service will help recruit publishing clients. The UK’s Daily Telegraph has signed on with a significant investment in production equipment.
“TMG’s existing three-camera studio will now be able to stream directly to the Web as a story breaks,” reports TheNextWeb. “Used in conjunction with a series of new content deals, this will give the Telegraph’s digital subscribers access to key live events as they unfold.”
In 2003, AP became one of the first to launch a live news service. “Today, around 200 broadcasters use it as a live video source, tapping AP’s coverage to bring news and analysis to their own viewers,” notes the post.
“AP Video Hub is already proving itself as an indispensable tool for online news providers,” says Sue Brooks, AP director of video transformation. “The addition of live content will enable our customers to create even richer storytelling experiences for their customers.”
