NEWS ALERT
March 15, 2007
Seattle
– Online Video Service, Inc.
(OVS), the recognized leader in Internet
broadcasting for public affairs,
reported today that it has renewed its
contract with the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC).
OVS has had the exclusive contract to
broadcast the NRC’s proceedings on the
Internet since 2004. To date, the
company has delivered more than 80
webcasts and an extensive archive of on
demand content with a zero percent
failure rate – a notable accomplishment
in a live broadcasting context in which
the stakes are high and the risks are
numerous.
“We are proud to renew our contract with
the NRC,” commented OVS Chairman and
CEO, Tim Treanor. “The innovative,
remotely managed webcasting solution we
have in place at NRC was the first of
its kind in 2004 and remains the ‘gold
standard’ for Internet broadcasting
among premier federal agencies.”
OVS has distinguished itself from
competitors by offering remotely managed
webcasting, a proprietary Internet
broadcasting platform that the company
developed with the help of leading
experts in government webcasting. Most
competitors typically either send a
webcast team to a client’s event venue
or broadcast audio from a conference
call on the Internet – services which
OVS also provides.
OVS has also successfully developed
protocols and methodologies that ensure
full compliance with the highest levels
of federal security, such as those
measures in place at the tightly
controlled NRC headquarters in
Rockville, Maryland where certain OVS
equipment is located.
