Gannett invests in Mogulus

Cory Bergman July 28th, 2008

At NAB earlier this year, we reported that Gannett had inked a white-label deal with Mogulus to provide live streaming for a few newspaper sites. Now there’s news Gannett has invested “around $10 million” in the company to power live streaming for the rest of its newspaper and TV sites. So what’s so unique about Mogulus? It’s really a live television studio in a single application: you can broadcast live, scheduled live, or on-demand with real-time graphics. You can stream live from a laptop with a wireless card. And it’s in an embeddable player. So you can do some rather interesting things, such as create a 24/7 live streaming channel that combines live newscasts, recorded newscasts and live chopper feeds. Lots of potential here for sure, now let’s see where Gannett takes it.
