www.ibctoday.com To Revolutionize How Americans Get Their International News

NEW YORK, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- International TV network news will enter an unprecedented new age of pervasive coverage and on-demand access when the Internet Broadcast Corporation (www.ibctoday.com) goes live today. The ultimate destination for breaking news and local stories from cities around the globe, www.ibctoday.com is the first online TV news network to give U.S. users immediate access to international news, entertainment, sports and more as it happens, 24/7. Best of all, IBC is completely free of charge.

The revolutionary IBC news network employs proprietary technology to present timely video news from leading global news broadcasters and users that is instantly downloadable, already translated and subtitled in English, and fully searchable by keyword or more broadly by country, city and news category. The network has already signed exclusive agreements with leading news broadcasters and wholesalers such as Associated Press TV, Canadian Broadcasting Corp., as well top South-Western Asian, Eastern European and African local television broadcasters with more on the way.

Tyler N. Cavell, President and Founder, Internet Broadcast Corporation, notes, "IBCtoday's goal is to be the leading provider of global news. With our delivery technology and world-wide partnerships with top broadcasters and content providers, we will do for International news what CNN has done for local news in the U.S. -- give you timely access anywhere it happens, and let you see it from the local perspective."

Proprietary Technologies and Translation Capabilities

IBC was founded by Cavell as part of a project intended to increase diversity and competition in broadcast media. The network takes advantage of the latest technologies to ensure quick downloading and compatibility with any digital platform from phones to TV and computer screens. It will also benefit from the increasing migration of advertising dollars towards online advertising.

Cavell notes, "Interest and access to worldwide news is more critical than ever to U.S. consumers, as international events impact everyday lives from the War in Iraq to terrorist concerns to the price of oil and gas. IBC is the easiest and best way to keep abreast of global news that may impact your life or the lives of loved ones abroad."

IBC presently publishes between 70 and 90 global news video clips a day, which represents approximately 1.5 hours of video news content. Content is updated throughout the day with global and local broadcast partners providing multi-perspectives on global news from local sources. The site also archives transcripts of every news story aired so users can research and access any news item that has already run. IBC users will enjoy a number of first-time features that enhance the news watching experience:

-- Real-time, on-demand video that is instantly downloadable to any
computer user from dial-up to high-speed
-- Video that is translated and subtitled in English
-- 24/7 access news that is searchable by country, city or category (News,
Business, Sports, Entertainment, etc.)
-- Access to transcripts of every archived news clip
