Bold Joins BitTorrent to Livestream Republican and Democratic Conventions

Bttn

Bold is excited to partner with Internet pioneer BitTorrent as it forays into the news business. BitTorrent will be debuting its BitTorrent live OTT app by broadcasting live from the Republican National Convention from Cleveland and the Democratic National Convention from Philadelphia. BitTorrent provided more details:

Following the introduction of BitTorrent Live, a multichannel OTT app based on proprietary live streaming technology, today we unveil the details of the much anticipated BitTorrent News.

BitTorrent News is a live-streaming TV news network that will be featured on BitTorrent Live starting July 18th. For news and sports, time is of the essence. BitTorrent News will be the destination for an informed, independent voice on the news in real-time as news breaks. BitTorrent News has a distinct advantage when scaling rapidly to large audiences in real-time without the need for expensive pre-provisioning, a near impossible feat during a rapidly developing news situation.

“Television news has been stagnating for some time,” offered Erik Schwartz, Vice President of Media for BitTorrent, Inc. “It’s having trouble appealing to a generation that grew up online. We’re building BitTorrent News to solve that problem. We are using superior data and tools and the Silicon Valley ethos of lean startup to build a nimble news organization that will learn quickly from user behavior.”

It’s been one of the wildest election years in recent memory in the US and BitTorrent News will launch in time to bring an independent voice to both Republican National Convention and the Democratic National Convention.

Team Bold will be joining several other news outlets to offer analysis, behind-the-scenes commentary each day from the conventions. BitTorrent News will be available on the multichannel app, BitTorrent Live, which is currently available on Apple TV and OS X and other platforms being introduced soon. Watch Team Bold live each day from 3 to 4 pm in Cleveland as we serve up the smartest content in the business!
