By joining the WNI Network, LIN TV will deliver local news content from its television stations on demand from WNI’s “LiveLocal” mobile application offered on major U.S. wireless carriers for $4.99 per month.
“WNI’s partnership with LIN TV continues to validate mobile video as a valuable and important medium for broadcast content delivery,” said Daniel Scalisi, vice president of media services for WNI. “Television viewers increasingly want content that is local and available on-demand. ‘LiveLocal’ provides broadcasters with a tool to deliver video content to viewers when they need it, while also providing them with a new source of revenue.”
“This partnership is a natural extension of the strong local news brands that LIN TV has created over many years. Our viewers can now see our local news and information on their mobile devices – anywhere, anytime,” said Gary R. Chapman, chairman, president and CEO of LIN TV.
LIN TV owns and operates 30 television stations in 18 mid-sized markets in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
