Content, Live Streaming for News Sites

FedNet has streamed multimedia since 1996 when few saw the Internet as a broadcast medium.

The first to consistently broadcast Congress online, FedNet gained recognition for its work during the Clinton Impeachment for two great American newspapers adapting print to websites: ‘The Gray Lady’ New York Times and The Washington Post.

The Internet brings broader distribution than cable television. The first to stream live video of the Congress to mobile devices beginning with the 2012 State of the Union, marquee events are watched by hundreds of thousands in upwards of 190 countries both at FedNet.net and through bona fide news sites. Domestically, large organizations from McClatchy to Tribune Publishing have sought our immediate clips and live streaming services.

Embed FedNet’s House and Senate floor streams for persistent placement or to draw visitors to articles and unfolding debates on issues of the day – or of our times.

FedNet eliminates the need for your organization to invest in streaming technology, providing all of the audio/video production and streaming content from our multimedia servers. We provide blind links and embedding for your Website as if you and your team were producing the event yourselves. There are no special equipment needs, server or software requirements.

Video-Over-IP Transport for Broadcasters

Television networks local and overseas draw on FedNet’s feeds to air live or to-tape.

Live and tape-based FedNet video of floor sessions and press conferences is syndicated to broadcasters on both sides of the Atlantic. More exciting for smaller organizations and newspapers, talent and reporters can conduct stand-up appearances and interviews.

Opportunities abound for broadcast work from live press locations around the U.S. Capitol complex “as seen on TV.” Available exclusively for stations and outlets with access to TVU Grid and LiveU Matrix.
