EUX.TV UNIQUE EU ACCESS

[BIZ/GOV: Brussels, March 22]
EUX.TV, the webtv channel about Europe and the EU [and which also produces the Meuse-Rhine Journal’s webcasts. ED], has nearly completed a major development phase as a result of which nearly all television programs funded by European institutions are now available on the EUX.TV platform.
The programs include productions from the European Parliament, including the 'Parlemento' series that also airs on traditional broadcasters such as Euronews, and programs made for the European Commission by production companies like Mostra Communications in Brussels and Esras in Belfast.

The EUX.TV platform, powered by London-based webtv specialist Narrowstep Ltd and Brussels-based publisher Bureau van Dijk Electronic Publishing, now provides unique and free access to official EU programs, in addition to EUX.TV's own proprietary programming, including interviews, debates and news reports.

EUX.TV, via its website, combines the programs in its database with news stories from across Europe and from the EU institutions in Brussels. These are provided by its own editorial team in Brussels and by German news agency DPA. A daily and a weekly webtv newsletter completes its service.

As a private company, the webtv channel EUX.TV is well-positioned to become the main source of EU-related videos and television programs on the Internet, pulling together all relevant programming from the European parliament, the commission and other bodies whose activities relate to the European Union.

Anyone with an Internet connection can watch EUX.TV in full-screen mode on a PC for 24 hours a day, as a broadcast-quality stream. That makes the channel potentially available to more than one billion viewers worldwide. According to InternetWorldStats.com, some 1.1 bn people now have access to the Internet. More than half of them are in Europe and in Asia.

People who do not have a broadband connection can watch EUX.TV in a lesser quality. The EUX.TV platform includes an automated bandwidth detection function that allows the system to automatically stream webtv programs encoded for speeds between 56 kbps and 1.8 Mbps.
