EDISON, NJ, October 27, 2015: WHIRLD is the only live streaming mobile video application that brings together professional and user-created TV-style programming within the same Mobile Broadcasting Network. The result is something completely different –the successful combination of a youth centric live-streaming destination and a mobile social TV Network.
WHiRLD is based on MBHC’s proprietary communications platform that includes a massively social user interface, TV-style programming and the ability for young people to live stream their own mobile videos in real-time to a small group of friends or the entire world all within the same Mobile Broadcasting Network on their mobile device of choice.
Gartner, an American information technology research and advisory firm that provides original research and insights to business leaders across the globe to help them make informed decisions recently predicted that by 2017, live video will be the new “selfie” as a “noteworthy shift” is going take place from static photos to video.
“The next generation of consumer services and products has one main theme in common and that is streaming video,” said Brian Blau, research director at Gartner. “This means incorporating live real-time video into products to engage users in live events and enable more personalized communications, providing better customer support, and offering best-of-breed video and TV experiences to connected homes.”
“We recognized early-on in the development of WHIRLD that we had the power to make a difference in the live mobile video streaming video space by satisfying an unmet need to place original live streaming videos created by young people side-by-side with professional TV style programming,” stated Ken Bland, CEO and Founder of MBC and WHIRLD. “But we didn’t stop with the creation of the first Mobile Broadcasting Network. We are successfully building the first mobile TV network where young people and their families can watch professional and amateur content together on WHIRLD with the confidence that everything will be fun and enjoyable for the entire family.”
WHIRLD’S Mobile Broadcasting Network is being launched at the perfect time as Gartner research has also predicted, that by 2018, 76% of connected home apps will be accessible from smart TV’s, and when combined with streaming media devices, this will deliver Apps to 211 million homes by Q1 2017.
At the same time consumer VOD traffic is expected to nearly double by 2019, which would be equivalent to 7 billion DVDs per month. This would take an individual more than 5 million years to watch and equal the gigabyte equivalent of all movies ever made crossing the global Internet every 2 minutes.
WHIRLD is ready to address this media explosion. They have fine tuning their distribution platform to make their vision a reality as they are now available for download for free within the iTunes and Google Play Mobile Application storefronts and next month will be launching a multi-channel marketing campaign that will be viewable wherever young people spend time, socializing, and consuming video content in an exciting, hyper-relevant and creative way that will empower them to download the WHIRLD APP to access exclusive social and professional TV-style content.
