BitTorrent Launches Streaming News Network at Republican Convention
Posted in: Uncategorized
Last week, BitTorrent, the peer-to-peer file-sharing program announced it was hiring a news director, former CNN and Vice producer Harrison Bohrman, to lead the upcoming “live-streaming TV news network,” confirming rumors that it was looking to build a team of journalists after it had posted job listings seeking them out.
Now BitTorrent is announcing that it will launch that new enterprise July 18 at the Republican National Convention, a move, it said, to bring “an independent voice” to the election season, starting with the conventions.
“BitTorrent News is launching to offer a fresh and independent voice to news reporting. We have an amazing opportunity to leverage our proprietary live video streaming technology in a way that delivers breaking news in real time,” said Christian Averill, VP-marketing at Bit Torrent. “The upcoming national conventions will be amongst the biggest news items of the year and we intend to bring a refreshing perspective to a tech forward audience.”
