Free Republic

(SAINT PAUL, Minn.) - To showcase how technology will be used in exciting new ways to engage Americans and make the 2008 Republican National Convention the most tech-savvy ever, convention President and Chief Executive Officer Maria Cino today announced that Ustream.TV will serve as the event’s Official Live Video Streaming Provider. The announcement was made during a news conference broadcast live over the Internet using the Ustream.TV Web-based video platform. The video can now be viewed at www.GOPConvention2008.com/live. "Partnering with Ustream.TV sends a clear message that the Republican Party wants the Internet generation and all people - from Party loyalists...

Whats the best place on the net to watch a live stream of the debates tonight? Who's running the shindig? Many Thanks.

The democratic gay debates are going to be streamed on logo online tonight in about 10 minutes. Would someone kindly copy and post the debates on utube.

Anyone know how to capture streaming audio and video? Have some items I would love to save to disk but don't how and what to use to capture them.

I need some help here. I know we have some Blackberry lovers out there and I need some information from you. Do you know whether Blackberry can stream audio the way the PocketPC can. With my PPC-6700 Sprint phone I can stream all of the talk radio I want. But my relative has a Blackberry and would like to do the same. Any suggestions?

Over the past few days, I have given a "Heads Up" to Freepers about Fox airing their original 9/11 footage on an internet link that I had bookmarked. Some of you caught it and many of you wanted to. Well, Fox has made it official. They will air the broadcast tommorrow morning starting at 8:30 a.m. EDT and it will be time synched to the original events. The link given above does not go to a website other than their main one, so you have to tune in tomorrow to get their actual link. However, if I were a betting...

Fox News has been running internet coverage of 9/11 events on an unpublished internet stream. I have been watching the coverage since this afternoon after I discovered the link was active. At midnight EDT, Fox just rolled over the coverage and restarted it with Fox and Friends at 8 a.m. EDT, Tuesday September 11. The Windows Media Player link can be found here: http://foxnews-foxstream.wm.llnwd.net/foxnews_foxstream

Two years ago the big thing was VoIP, telephone over the internet. The new big thing is TV over the internet, and it's a tempting big new thing indeed, promising to represent a real challenge to cable. At the least, it stands to force down the high price consumers pay to watch television. And as a competing distribution stream, IPTV could also usher in a flood of new, innovative programming choices. The question is when? Technologies on the horizon have a way of staying on the horizon, defying their promoters' promises of sweeping through the marketplace any minute now. The...

can anyone help

Here is a link to live streaming Israeli TV with about 10 channels to surf. There are no captions or subs but if you want to see whats going on - you might want to check this out.

I never really have cared to ask this before, but I just discovered the new Treo I have does a pretty good job of playing streaming audio from the Internet. I know that internet streams from shoutcast.com and treobits.com will work... but I'm not that encouraged by the listings I've seen thus far. Most of it looks like leftist ramblings that couldn't make it on commercial radio. In any case, are there any recommendations from fellow FReepers for good conservative internet radio stations? Thanks, -- Joe P.S. If you have a Treo, Pocket Tunes Deluxe is the software that allows...

It's one more way people will be able to find their favorite TV shows without having to fire up their TVs. ABC says it will offer four of its primetime shows on its web site. The shows can be watched on the site for free for two months after their original air date. The offer includes the hits "Desperate Housewives," "Lost,” "Alias,” and "Commander In Chief." But there is a catch! The shows will include advertisements that cannot be skipped over during viewing. The offer starts next month on ABC.com.

ABC's Prime-Time Hits And Zap-Proof Commercials Are Pillars of Bold Strategy Walt Disney Co. plans to make much of its newest and most popular programming on ABC and other channels available free anytime on the Web, in a move that could speed the transformation of television viewing habits and help revive the struggling TV advertising business. On April 30, ABC will unveil a revamped Web site that will include a "theater" where people with broadband connections can watch free episodes of "Desperate Housewives," "Lost" and other hit shows on their computers. Episodes will be available the morning after they air...

Online video has arrived in a big way. CBS' March Madness on Demand offering, live streams of games from the NCAA college basketball tournament, has proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that people are willing to go on to the Web to view live entertainment. CBS streamed more than 15 million live broadcasts of NCAA tournament games during this year's March Madness, numbers that exceeded the network's expectations.

March 17, 2006, 11:09 AM PST March Madness on CBS.com: it killed Posted by: Molly Wood CBS offering free streams of March Madness basketball games? I was skeptical, but it delivered--big time. In fact, it delivered a record 1.2 million streams in the first five hours and actually kept waiting, time-outs, and glitches to a surprising minimum. Oh, and it made a bajillion dollars on ads, too. Not too shabby, CBS. Not at all.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- CBS Inc. (CBS) kicked off its first-ever free live showing online of the men's NCAA tournament, with more than 100,000 people either watching the video of the Seton Hall vs. Wichita game, or in a virtual waiting room, trying to get in. The live video streams were running 365 kilobits per second. Larry Kramer, head of CBS's digital operations, said he's prepared for at least 200,000 simultaneous viewers, placing the tournament Webcasts squarely among the top live online draws of all time.

Live Webcasts of NCAA tournament is 'watershed' moment By David B. Wilkerson, MarketWatch Last Update: 12:57 AM ET Mar 16, 2006 CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- CBS Corp.'s move to stream live telecasts of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship free of charge on the Web, beginning with this year's tournament, is a "watershed event" with vast implications for the television landscape, according to a former president of CBS Sports. Beginning Thursday, CBS (CBS) will offer live out-of-market broadcasts of "March Madness" games at NCAAsports.com. See related column by Bambi Francisco. "This is a watershed event," said Neal Pilson, president of...

Ultimately, the CBS affiliate hopes to offer the entire CBS lineup and commercials live on the Net and also to sell programs as part of a video-on-demand service.

I'd like to know if there is any way to watch Fox News on internet like any other TV Channels that have live streaming. Any help/idea is very much appreciated!

Please post links here in reply if you know of websites that offer streaming replays of certain talk radio programs, especially late at night. I have certain radio shows I love, but can't often catch during the day while I'm working. I'd love to listen at night on the Internet. So, if you know of any radio stations that have streaming broadcasts at odd hours, please post a link here, along with the hours and time zones when I can catch those shows. Thanks in advance.

Be quick, this might get pulled, but the streaming media out of NO seems to be dropping of Internet. It would be a great help if folks could post links to live streams for the office bound.

Does anyone know how to listen to Fox News Radio over the Internet? Is it possible?

Hi, I am a long time reader of FR, and so yesterday I joined and made my first post because I wanted to get some links to hear streaming of Michael Savage’s show. I had an interesting first experience that should be reflected on. First, I just wanted to say thanks to people who posted links …On the other hand…I’m rather saddened by the fear and loathing that some of the other puerile posts showed toward Savage. While I don’t agree with everything he says, I appreciate that he doesn’t march in lock step with any political party. It’s not...

I'm looking around for some podcasts worth listening to, and I figured my fellow freepers would have some insight. I'm especially intersted in political, technological and theological topics. Maybe this thread could serve as a central compendium of "Free Republic Approved" podcasts?

SAN JOSE, Calif. - After getting a taste of the radio business in college, software designer Craig Patchett never lost his interest in broadcasting. But without a job in radio, it seemed likely to remain one of those unfulfilled passions — until something called "podcasting" came along. Now, Patchett's creating shows and sending them out to the masses every day — not over the airwaves to radios but over the Internet, from his personal computer in Carlsbad, Calif. His listeners download his shows to their iPods and other digital music players. Patchett, 43, is among a growing number of people...

Was working fine yesterday. Today, when I tried it, it says "Stopped" and won't "Play" after I click that. Anyone else having problems with it? Thanks- VRWC Agent#0498

CSPAN isn't working too well, even though I have a DSL connection. Anybody know of another live link?

IMAGINE being able to set up a tollbooth on the Internet. Now imagine collecting a small fee every time anyone in the United States clicked on the Web to watch a video of a car advertisement, to listen to an audio clip of a garage band or to review an updated credit card statement. Sound far-fetched? Acacia Research Corporation, an obscure but well-financed company in Newport Beach, Calif., has a portfolio of patents that, it claims, allows it to do exactly that. Acacia holds five patents covering streaming video and audio. The earliest one, numbered 5,132,992, was issued in 1992....

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Online music broadcasters and the record industry's main trade group, heading off what promised to be a contentious battle between them, on Thursday proposed a new set of royalties for Internet music broadcasts.   The resolution, which covers 2003 and 2004, came after a long and bitter dispute that involved lawsuits and arbitration over the royalty structure for past years. The Digital Media Association and the Recording Industry Association of America said they filed the proposal with the U.S. Copyright Office, which will soon publish it for public comment. The RIAA and the Webcasting industry...

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Reuters launched an Internet service Wednesday to offer unnarrated war-related video footage and live news conferences, government briefings and other events. The service is free but is expected to become a paid offering in the future, the company said. The new offering "captures the scale of Reuters editorial operation and unrivaled expertise of our reporting team in and around Iraq," said Rich Sabreen, an executive vice president at Reuters. He said the news service has 150 journalists in the Middle East covering the Iraq story. Reuters does not plan to make the channel a fulltime...

When I have tried to tap into some of my favorite hosts at TRN recently, I get the following message at the top of their homepage: Please Note: The internet audio stream for TRN has been discontinued until further notice. But check back soon, as we hope to remedy the situation as circumstances permit.

May 21, 2002 The United States Copyright Office on Tuesday rejected an arbitration panel ruling on Webcasting royalty rates, a decision that brought smiles to the face of Internet radio executives nationwide. In a brief note posted on its Web site, the Librarian of Congress rejected the recommendation by the Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel (CARP) that would have set royalty fees at 14/100 of a cent per performance, a price tag denounced by Webcasters as prohibitive. "The Register of Copyrights recommends, and the Librarian agrees, that the CARP's determination must be rejected. A final decision will be issued no...
