MUMBAI: Canadian Internet TV news network, Internet Broadcast Corporation www.ibctoday.com, formerly known as MediaScrape has released new navigation expanding access to world television news.
The company which claims to have thousands of users in the US and other countries has also announced a new broadcast partner Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) and a goal to be the number one global Internet video news source.
Internet Broadcast Corporation (ibcToday) says that it is the first Internet TV News Network to digitise analogue TV broadcasts in a format that is high quality video, on-demand, translated, interactive, free, searchable and archived.
ibcToday publisher Tyler Cavell says, "This name change reflects ibcToday's goal to be the leading international Internet TV News Network. 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 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.
