New Syndicate Debuts With Broadband Content Guide - "What's Streaming"

Business Industry Media's first offering ferrets out an eclectic buffet of original content aimed at the well-connected consumer.

Seattle, WA September 25, 2001 - Business Industry Media, a new content syndicate from the creators of Broadband Industry News, have announced the availability of its first weekly syndication product.

WHAT'S STREAMING, a feature written by broadband media expert Andrew Cullen focuses on the content offerings available to the millions of Internet consumers that boast high-speed connections.

"Digital media is rapidly entering its second generation, marking a move from jittery 30 second animations to dynamic, high quality streaming entertainment," said Cullen, "In the past, there's been confusion around business models, consumer pricing schemes and Internet connectivity. Now, content creators are empowered with the tools and technologies to bring their visions to reality and a worldwide distribution network to market and promotion their media."    

Business Industry Media's WHAT'S STREAMING observes the people, Web sites and content behind the Web's best broadband entertainment. The weekly column is written as a guide for enhancing the multimedia experience of broadband users by informing them of compelling content and reviewing online entertainment in the context of the industry at large. Licensing of WHAT'S STREAMING is available for a variety of distribution opportunities including newspapers, Web sites, consumer and trade publications.

In addition, archived articles, news briefs and featured links are available for review at www.WhatsStreaming.com with an opportunity for consumers to subscribe to the ezine version.

A study conducted by analyst firm Gartner Dataquest concluded that 65 million, or 61%, of U.S. households actively use the Internet on a regular basis and close to 25% of these households connect via a broadband connection. At the same time, major media corporations are infusing money and resources in their own online endeavors and actively seeking creative talent from online entertainment destinations for offline purposes.

Major media conglomerates, including AOL, Microsoft and Yahoo, are sharpening their focus on the burgeoning broadband marketplace with content partnerships, streaming services and the integration of streaming assets with other aspects of their business.

WHAT'S STREAMING is the debut content offering from Business Industry Media, which will be launching a number of original content concepts in the coming months.
