Thousands of People View Washington Election Trial Online

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

June 7th, 2005

Seattle – Online Video Service, a leading national provider of webcasting services, announced the successful completion of a partnership in one of the most historic webcasts in the history of Washington State. In partnership with TVW, which provides unedited television coverage of state government deliberations and public policy events, OVS webcast gavel-to-gavel coverage of the state Republican Party’s challenge before a superior court judge of the election of Democratic Governor Christine Gregoire. OVS and TVW also webcast Monday’s ruling.

Chelan County Superior Court Judge John Bridges Monday rejected Republican claims of fraud and refused to set aside the election results. Dino Rossi, Gregoire’s Republican challenger in the 2004 gubernatorial election, decided after the ruling not to appeal.

OVS President Tim Treanor said he was proud to make the historic trial available to webcast viewers nationwide. Hits to OVS's streaming servers indicate several thousand people across the country viewed at least part of the trial online. The trial lasted about two weeks.

“The traffic we saw demonstrates not only the intense interest in this trial, but also our ability to deliver to governments and other organizations high-volume streaming media services,” Treanor said.
