Where Can I Watch The News Online

There are so many user generated video sites available on the internet these days, but sometimes you might not want to see user generated content. Thus, I thought I would put together a very quick list of the best places to view the news online as if you were watching it direct from your television at home.

Hulu – Hulu is a partnership between News Corp and NBC Universal. Hulu is for USA users only at the moment and it allows them to watch their favourite TV shows, movies and of course news programs all for free. Hulu was born when News Corp and NBC werent happy with the revenues they were receiving from YouTube, so they formed a strategic alliance and launched a free online television service that has been growing at a rapid pace. Hulu has a dedicated news section which allows users to view news from major USA sources as well as smaller sources like Cnet.

LiveStation: Interactive Live TV Stations

livestation tv onlineFor the last few months I have been testing out a new online TV service called LiveStation. LiveStation is an interactive live TV platform, which allows users to watch tv stations in one simple platform and with perfect streaming quality.

Currently, Livestation is in private beta and has already signed content deals with Bloomberg, Euro News, France 24, Russia Today, Aljazeera and the BBC. The technology they have developed is world class. Due to the platform being straight forward it should also be possible to add a lot more content channels in a variety of genres and every across on to radio.

Currently we have 10 invites free to send to Crenk readers, so simply just leave a message and I will send out invites across.
