Vibe Solutions Group Announces New Publisher Program for Pyro.TV Video Channel Aggregation Service

Posted on: Thursday, 19 April 2007, 12:00 CDT

Vibe Solutions Group announced today an expansive Publisher Program for their new video channel aggregation service, Pyro.TV. The Publisher Program provides content owners with an incremental distribution network for their channels, administrative tools to track consumer viewing habits, and the ability to have their content shared online while providing appropriate branding and attribution.

"With www.Pyro.TV we have given consumers an easier way to watch and share their favorite video channels," said Ted Briscoe, CEO of Vibe Solutions Group. "However, an equally important component of our success is delivering on our promise to publishers. Our Publisher Program provides content owners with some very strong reasons to participate in the growth of Pyro.TV."

Elements of the Pyro.TV Publisher Program include:

Expanded Distribution Opportunities: Pyro.TV extends the publisher reach by providing consumers with an aggregated, user-friendly way to find the video channels they want, which requires no download or knowledge of RSS. Publishers will benefit from Pyro.TV's aggressive distribution strategy that is seeking syndication through third party portals, ISPs and communities. Pyro.TV will also expand distribution through its search API, available to third party meta search engines, and embedded flash video objects for video channels and titles.

Insight and Control: Pyro.TV also provides publishers with comprehensive administrative tools. Publishers can log into the password protected administrative interface and gain access to title views, title shares, number of channel subscribers and channel ratings. Publishers can also add and edit channels and titles, control sharing options.

Intact Advertising Stream: Pyro.TV maintains a consistent player interface for the consumer while keeping publishers "whole" on any pre-roll ads included in their video. Publisher videos play the same content that were originally created and made publicly available for syndication.

Proper Attribution for Content: Pyro.TV makes clear publisher attribution by displaying the publisher logo near the video, providing links back to the publisher website and providing access to the publisher sourced RSS feed and download URL.

According to Briscoe, the publisher community is responding very well to Pryo.TV.

"We are excited about Pyro.TV's new platform," said Tory Salvia, President of TheSailingChannel.com. "It's a great way to expand our niche sailing audience through easy-to-use publishing and viewing tools, and viewer tracking metrics."

"Pyro.TV's ease of use, professional design, and high functionality are superb," said David Knight, CEO of www.Mommy.TV. "We are proud to distribute our content through Pyro.TV. On a personal level it has now become a primary destination."

Pyro.TV is the first direct-to-consumer offering by Vibe Solutions Group, who has traditionally supplied branded video and publishing solutions to the broadband industry. The flexible Pyro.TV Engine accommodates a range of video content, including RSS video feeds, user-submitted channels and content directly provisioned from networks.
