Crenk

For 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.

Conference Season has begun. After the great success of TechCrunch40 (their first event); DEMOfall is next week, followed in October by the Web 2.0 Summit and CTIA.

On Nov. 14, 2007, GigaOM will host a conference of their own, NewTeeVee Live. This day-long event, organized by NewTeeVee editor Liz Gannes and Om Malik, will bring together content creators, distributors, carriers, hardware vendors and more to decide what the future of online video will be in a post YouTube-Google world.

The event will be a live incarnation of NewTeeVee.com, combining discussion of the creative, business, and technology elements of online video. GigaOM are co-producing the event with Federated Media, who are helping them with both organizational and sales support.

The lineup so far includes Quincy Smith, president of CBS Interactive; Mike Afergan, chief technology officer at Akamai; Henrik Werdelin, chief creative officer for Joost; Dina Kaplan, COO and co-founder of Blip.tv; Garrett Camp, founder of StumbleUpon; David Carson, co-CEO of Heavy; and Matt Wasserlauf, CEO of Broadband Enterprises, amongst many others. They are in the process of adding more speakers to the event, so stay tuned!

In addition to the speakers and panelists, they will also be having a small launchpad event where new shows, products, services and startups can get on stage and show off their latest, greatest thing.
