When I visited the USA last September, I saw some TV ads for BrightCove's internet video service, which allows companies to deliver video over the web.Corporate clients of BrightCove include Farmers' Almanac TV, National Lampoon, The New York Times, Barrio 365 and Shipwreck Central. PVR Wire's very own overlords, AOL and a few others invested $16 million in the company last year, giving an indication that something big was on the horizon.
Well, TiVo has made a deal with BrightCove for their content to be distributed via the popular PVR platform, allowing users to access BrightCove content on TV.
The deal will allow some 400,000 subscribers to access BrightCove's video and ad content, and whilst specific program details are unknown at present, the initial content is expected to launch in June, and should be free -- although, a subscription fee could be introduced at a later date.
Another nail in the coffin for the traditional broadcast chain?
