"Give The World Your Heart" TV to Debut With Live Webcast, Tuesday, Nov. 24


CHANTILLY, VA -- 11/23/09 -- Internet TV Network TV Worldwide (www.TVWorldwide.com), announced that it has been selected by Give The World Your Heart, Inc. (www.GTWYH.org) to produce and launch Give The World Your Heart TV (www.GTWYH.TV), an Internet TV Channel dedicated to the community of people interested in participating in positive, healthy activities to help themselves and others improve the planet and tally their heartbeats while doing so. The channel will launch with a live webcast featuring a panel of Give The World Your Heart advisors and experts at 12 PM Noon ET on Tuesday, November 24, 2009. Participants can view the webcast, register heartbeats and participate in the event interactively at www.GTWYH.TV.

Give The World Your Heart TV viewers will enjoy positive motivational programming, live webcasts, music video, documentaries and shows from participants from all over the globe, that encourage viewers to send their heartbeats in an effort to grow a new health heartbeat counting measurement called Total Gratitude Heartbeat Counter.

"The mission of Give The World Your Heart is to offer you and others, from all over the world, an opportunity and a means of connection by all the positive things that you and others do each day," stated Sandy Masin, Founder of Give The World Your Heart, a 501(c)(3) non-profit company. "This creates a positive, self satisfying atmosphere. All you really have to do is very simple. Just take a little time, get involved, record your heartbeats into the counter and enjoy what you did that day."

"I see counting total gratitude heartbeats as a way to maintain the trust of a Patient-Healthcare Provider covenant," remarked Dr. Bobby Garfinkel, a member of the Give The World Your Hearts Health Advisory Board. "When we work together giving our heart-felt intentions for a better outcome, then this level of trust may be just enough to see remarkable outcomes."

"The process is all inclusive as everyone counts, no barriers of race, religion, culture, gender, age, socioeconomic status, handicaps etc.," Masin added. "Everyone can contribute in some way and when they contribute they are changing the focus of the world. We are also offering the opportunity for charities, faith-based groups, clubs and businesses to develop their own heartbeat counter, which could be hosted on the organization's web site, encouraging everyone to add their heartbeats while giving stakeholders even more reason to become engaged interactively, and adding the group's heartbeats to the GTWYH world counter on a regular basis."

"This is certainly a departure from the professional industry content we feature on many of our Internet TV channels," commented Dave Gardy, Chairman and CEO of TV Worldwide. "But the community-building and interactive social media principles are the same as they would be for any Internet TV channel special interest group. It is always a pleasure to work with people that have an interest in making the world a better place, like the content and heartbeat contributors to Give The World Your Heart TV."

Video sharing website YouTube has begun streaming full-length television series to UK users

TV embraces world's biggest video-sharing site...only takes four years to do it

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

23 Nov 2009 :
Video sharing website YouTube has begun streaming full-length television series to UK users, following its deal with Channel 4 in October.

According to Google, the Shows section of YouTube offers 4,000 full-length programmes from 60 partners including Channel 4, ITN, BBC Worldwide and Al Jazeera.

Google plans to add more partners in the coming months, with Channel 4 indicating it will also continue to do deals with other services. The broadcaster will continue serving videos from its own catchup service, 4oD.

Channel 4's full back catalogue won't make its way to YouTube until 2010, though Father Ted and Brass Eye are among those already available.

The shows are free, but they feature a non-skippable 30-second advert that plays before the programme begins. The companies have confirmed they will share ad revenues generated by the service, though details of the deal were not disclosed.

"The YouTube community has always enjoyed the vibrant range of video on the site, from amateur make-up videos to professional TV highlights and everything inbetween," says YouTube director of video partnerships Patrick Walker.

"The Shows section of the site will make it easier for users to discover videos from the biggest names in British broadcasting, and help our content partners reach new audiences and generate new revenues."

Who watches TV on TV anymore?

How’s this for layers of irony: my teenage daughter was in her room recently watching the TV show Gossip Girl on her laptop — let’s not get into exactly how — when I overheard the following line from the show: “Who watches TV on TV anymore?” (A quick Google search reveals I didn’t mishear it).

That’s indeed the billion-dollar question as telecom service providers enter today’s video arena — a market that spans cable, satellite, the Internet and mobile devices. At the TelcoTV show this week, Parks Associates released some video-viewing data showing just how confusing — yet full of opportunity — today’s video market really is.

According to Parks, Internet video viewing is indeed on the rise, but so is the viewing of prime-time TV shows. The research shows that 80% of adults in broadband homes do some form of Internet video viewing. Twenty-six million adult home broadband users are watching streaming TV episodes at least once a month, and about 6 million adults in broadband homes pay for premium Web video content on a monthly basis. At the same time, many of those are catching up on TV viewing they missed — with just over half (52%) watching missed episodes, while 37% liked watching shows for free, and 29% appreciated having fewer ads in Web replays.

Those are interesting numbers, and they point to a clear trend that finds viewers attracted to — and searching out — content across a variety of networks and devices. It’s a blurring of the lines that only will continue.

Just this week, AT&T debuted its VideoCrawler video Web search engine, staking a claim in the growing Web video market. It’s not a stretch to imagine VideoCrawler pulled onto AT&T’s U-verse service; Verizon already is beta-testing just such a service, which it demoed at the Telephony LIVE event last month. Comcast, meanwhile, has been crossing the TV and Web worlds with its Fancast site.
