PR Newswire (US)
LONDON and NEW YORK, March 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Narrowstep(TM) Inc (OTC:NRWS) (BULLETIN BOARD: NRWS) , the TV on
the Internet company, announced that Cyprus is the first country in
the world to have its own scheduled Internet TV channel. Using the
Narrowstep proprietary Television Operating System(TM)
(TelVOS(TM)), the channel, http://www.cyprusitv.tv/, will promote
Cyprus to the world and bring the world to Cyprus. The Managing
Director of Cyprus ITV, Mr Steve Collins, said, "This is the
culmination of nearly two years' hard work. We are determined to
put Cyprus firmly in the world's consciousness. We will promote
business, leisure and the Cypriot culture to the world using the
most powerful means of communication the world has ever seen:
Internet TV. Today is the first step towards realizing those
goals." Cyprus ITV will promote Cyprus, an island with an immense
history and a captivating culture, as an international destination
of choice -- broadcasting events and news items, carrying
advertising and promotions for the business community and acting as
a source of information for visitors and ex-patriots. Viewers
around the world will be asked to comment and participate in
defining the content and programming available on the new channel,
in order to maximize the popularity of Cyprus ITV. Mr Collins
continued, "We already enjoy a unique relationship with the British
people, and we look forward to establishing similar relationships
with other people. Having recently joined the EU, and being
recognized as an outstanding holiday resort, we looked for an
innovative way to communicate with the world at large, effectively
and efficiently. The TV on the Internet technology from Narrowstep
enables us to achieve this goal perfectly." Iolo Jones, CEO of
Narrowstep said, "Last year we launched Glasgow TV, making Glasgow
the first city to have its own scheduled broadband TV channel. Now
we have enabled Visit London, the first capital city to have its
own broadband TV channel. And now, Cyprus is the first country to
implement our system to promote its unique place in the world. The
global reach of the Internet, together with the tremendous
flexibility and all around functionality of our operating system,
TelVOS(TM), are proving a real winner." About Narrowstep(TM) Inc
