Newly Named Internet Broadcast Corp(TM) Completes Second Round of Financing to Set Goal to be the Number One Global Internet Video News Source

MONTREAL, Aug. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- The rapidly growing Internet TV News Network, Internet Broadcast Corporation(TM) http://www.ibctoday.com/, formerly known as MediaScrape(TM), today released new navigation expanding access to world television news.

The company, headquartered in Canada, but with thousands of users in the United States and beyond, also announced a new broadcast partner and a goal to be the number one global Internet video news source. Internet Broadcast Corporation (ibcTODAY) is the first Internet TV News Network to digitize analog TV broadcasts in a format that is 100 percent high quality video, on-demand, translated, interactive, free, searchable and archived.

"This name change reflects ibcTODAY's goal to be the leading international Internet TV News Network," says Tyler Cavell, Publisher of ibcTODAY. "The new name explains more clearly what we are, and translates easier to our global users."

The site currently has registered users from 91 countries and broadcasts two hours of news clips (one-three minutes each) a day from North America, Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Europe.

To achieve the company's goal of providing more information in a user- friendly environment ibcTODAY has employed groundbreaking navigational techniques, including ajax .net components. This technology allows ibcTODAY to retrieve data for the user without refreshing the page, stopping the video or hindering site performance. Another new feature is "one-stop-shop" navigation, which enables users to watch video while browsing the top stories from other regions.

"We sought feedback from our large base of users to help us redesign ibcTODAY. With a substantial re-investment in our technology we were able to improve the site's navigation, specifically its video archive search engine, and add to our impressive content library," states Tyler Cavell.

Internet Broadcast Corporation recently signed an agreement with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) to broadcast their top national and international stories. The CBC joins ibcTODAY's other leading national and international video news agencies and wholesalers, including Associated Press, Canadian Press and Dogan News Agency. Internet Broadcast Corporation has also signed partnerships with local television broadcasters from Georgia, Turkey, Azerbaijan and Armenia and expects to sign on more than a hundred countries over the next year.

Updated every 30 minutes, 24-hours a day, Internet Broadcast Corporation also features message boards, blogs and user submitted content. By offering its Internet video services free of charge to the public ibcTODAY aims to become the number one Internet television news network.

Headquartered in Montreal with bureaus in Washington, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Turkey, Internet Broadcast Corporation was founded by Tyler N. Cavell, who discovered that there was an information deficit in Internet broadcast news and developed http://www.ibctoday.com/.
