Torque.TV Launches the Next Generation of Digital Television for
Motorheads NEW YORK, Oct. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Gentlemen, start your
engines (and fire up your monitors)! Launching October 8, 2007,
Torque.TV, an Internet television network for motorheads, will
offer full screen, broadcast quality video entertainment 24/7 for
vehicle enthusiasts around the globe. Type "Torque.TV" (no "www."
needed) into your web browser and you're in the driver's seat of
the ground-breaking, pulse pounding, beta version of the hot rod of
Internet sites. From muscle car to vintage collectors, tuner to
concept car aficionados, and chopper to sport bike owners,
enthusiasts will find tailored content to suit their tastes.
"Torque.TV is an Internet television network for viewers who want
relevant, broadcast quality, automotive content wherever, and
whenever, they want to watch, and for advertisers who want a more
effective, more targeted, more measurable way to reach customers,"
says Jesse Raiford, CEO. "Furthermore, Torque.TV is thrilled to
launch with a great group of advertisers -- exactly the kind of
respected automotive brands that our target audience wants to hear
from." Streaming rates and screen size can be tailored to view on a
mobile device or a plasma screen, with the detail and quality
required to watch fast moving footage. In addition Torque.TV
automatically sets a variable connection speed the first time a
viewer logs on (Torque.TV recommends a connection of at least 1.5
mps). Viewers can manually adjust program streaming speeds to match
their hardware. No downloads or peer-to-peer file sharing are
needed. A viewer section of the companion website will provide tips
on getting the best quality picture, and includes a Blog and car
community options. Best of all, there is no charge or required
registration for consumers to watch. Torque.TV is supported by
commercials and banners ads. All you need to access Torque.TV is a
broadband Internet connection and, of course, fervor for all things
fueled. Original programming includes Driving with Danny (Indy
winner Danny Sullivan pushes the hottest cars to the limit); Best
of the Motor Web (Shira Lazar hosts a weekly tour of auto sites
& videos); Miss Torque.TV (viewers vote for Miss Torque.TV
2008); plus coverage of motorsport events like Night Under Fire
2007 (the largest single day drag racing event in the world), and
the Silver State Classic Challenge 2007 (a wild, no holds barred,
top speed test on a closed Nevada Highway). Channels on the
Torque.TV network include: Tuners, Trucks, How To, Motorcycles, Hot
Rods & Muscle Cars, Motorsport, Wild Wheels, and Classics.
