Want To Watch Your Favorite Radio Show On The Internet? Radio – Video On Demand!

SAN FRANCISCO, CA. Apr. 26, 2005 – Digitcast, The Internet BroadcastingNetwork along with the Sports Byline USA Radio Network, home of America’s # 1 Radio Sports Talk Show, have launched “RADIO-VIDEO ON DEMAND internet broadcasting”. Unlike other Video on Demand web sites that charge a pay per view or a monthly access fee, watching The Sports Byline USA Radio Show is FREE. Hosted by Emmy Award Winner Ron Barr, Radio-Video On Demand is available at http://digitcast.com/sportsbyline/archivesmarch2005/archive1.htm.

"The time was right to integrate a radio show with television quality video," says Jeff Vaughn, founder of Digitcast LLC and producer of the show. “More than 60% of the homes in the United States are now connected to high speed Internet Broadband service and the technology advancements of video internet players provide a high quality viewing experience.”

Radio-Video On Demand Internet Broadcasting creates an opportunity for the internet radio audience to experience the visual aspect of a radio broadcast. Viewers see how the host and their guests interact, as well as see their emotional expressions come out as the guests tell their stories. Radio-Video On Demand also creates the opportunity for the internet radio audience to watch a radio show when they want to. Missed your favorite radio show while you were sleeping, out to dinner, running errands, or just too busy to listen? Simply go to “R-VOD".

Radio-Video on Demand is advertiser supported. Video technology on the internet has seen major improvements and television quality ad spots can be viewed as if you were watching them on your home television. According to a Borrell Associates study, advertising spending on online radio Web sites increased 94 % from 2003 to 2004, and there is plenty room for growth. “The advertising will not be intrusive," says Darren Peck, Sports Byline USA President. "It will reach a targeted audience with no waste and the ads will be embedded into the video stream”.

By offering Radio-Video on Demand, Digitcast is pioneering a new type of viable radio programming much like Ron Barr did when he created Sports Byline USA 17 years ago.
