Narrowstep Launches the World's First Global Broadband Sailing Channel

LONDON and NEW YORK, Jan. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Narrowstep(TM) Inc (BULLETIN BOARD: NRWS) , the TV on the Internet Company, announced that Sail.tv, the world's first 24/7 sailing broadband television channel was launched today by the Company and the channel's new owner Andy Steward. The channel is completely free of charge anywhere in the world with a broadband connection and aims to offer the sailing community a one-stop-shop for all sailing footage.

The channel, which will be supported by sponsorship and advertising, is completely unique and will offer Internet audiences a wide range of programming, including top class regattas, instructional videos, new sailor signings, boat launches, interviews with the stars, Boat Show coverage, news, reviews, and information on the latest developments within the sport from around the world.

Narrowstep, the market leader in developing global broadband channels, created the concept of a niche sailing channel to offer enthusiasts around the world the opportunity to watch world class events not often afforded mainstream TV coverage.

Currently Narrowstep has more than 50 global channels in existence offering live, archive, highlights and on-demand viewing seven days a week, 365 days a year at top class quality. The Narrowstep technology offers viewing speeds between 56kb to 1800kb depending on a viewer's Internet speed which the technology automatically detects upon login.

Cliff Webb, Chief Operating Officer for Narrowstep said, "We have already seen the success of Narrowstep's niche sport channels such as www.cycling.tv which offers exclusive footage of world class cycling events, as well as www.high.tv, the world's first extreme sports channel on the Internet. Both channels have secured a dedicated following, demonstrating the success of Internet television. Our technology paves the way to reach special interest users, and offers a highly targeted delivery for advertisers. There's no doubt this is an excellent enhancement to other broadcast activities around a sport."

Andy Steward, the new owner of Sail.tv said, "Sail.tv is all set to revolutionize the distribution of sailing coverage in the coming years by taking advantage of the very latest broadband technology. We selected Narrowstep because of its track record in delivering high quality TV content via broadband, and because the channel is so easy to access. Narrowstep was an obvious choice for us. We are not a competitor to existing TV networks with their mass medium distribution, but are targeting a special interest group -- sailors worldwide. When they get home after a day on the water, they can, for the first time, go online and watch what they want, when they want. We think this is the future of broadcasting, i.e. ultimate On-Demand technology."

Steward continued, "We see the station becoming the pre-eminent source of global sailing programming, where people can not only watch what they want when they want, but advertisers and sponsors can reach a highly targeted audience through a medium that has never been possible in the industry before. It is a ground-breaking opportunity and one in which we are excited to be working with Narrowstep."
