24-Hour Golfing Broadband TV Channel Transmits From the Show Daily
Using the Company's Powerful Television Operating System(TM) LONDON
and NEW YORK, April 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Narrowstep(TM) Inc
(OTC:NRWS) (BULLETIN BOARD: NRWS) , the TV on the Internet Company,
in association with Brand Live TV, announced that it launched
GolfBug.tv, a new 24-hour broadband TV channel, with the
commencement of the London Golf Show, Europe's largest consumer
golf show. The channel is transmitting highlights daily, from the
show, which runs from April 27-30 at ExCeL London, the Dockland's
exhibition center. The channel, accessible at
http://www.golfbug.tv/, provides enthusiasts with an informative
and entertaining daily schedule of programming featuring areas of
interest for players of all levels. The Managing Director of
GolfBug.tv, Andrew Cooke, explained, "The channel combines news
from the pro tours, expert tuition, information on the world's best
courses and resorts, interviews with leading golf figures, as well
as reviews of the latest equipment. There are also live and
on-demand broadcasts of great action from events, old and new, and
GolfBug.tv will look to carry on the fun and humor that golfers
share at the weekend." Cooke continued, "Using telvOS(TM),
Narrowstep's dynamic server technology, we have found that
television over Internet Protocol combines the best of traditional
broadcasting with the user-control and interaction expected from a
website. Therefore, our viewers will be able to watch a daily
schedule of programming, but also view video content, live as well
as on-demand, when and where they wish: at home, at work or while
traveling." Steve Beaumont, CEO Narrowstep, said, "We think
GolfBug.tv is a tremendous concept as it will clearly appeal to the
golfing community. This is the first channel of its kind for the
sport, thus moving it away from the traditional TV platform to
broadband and thus making the channel available throughout the
world. We feel certain that it will also appeal to industry
advertisers and manufacturers, as well as to tourism boards, golf
courses and tournament organizers thereby creating numerous ways in
which GolfBug.tv can monetize its content." Ofcom, the British
telecommunications regulator, states that there are now more than
10 million broadband connections in the UK and this figure has been
growing by 70,000 a week. This exceeds the number of people who
have access to the Sky Digital platform highlighting how broadband
television is the way of the future. About Narrowstep(TM) Inc
