"Streaming Video's Been Left on the Sidelines" Says Founder as Live TV Internet Listings Site Debuts

"This first-of-its-kind live Internet TV Listings is a win-win solution for both viewers and content providers.''

'Online video, whether live or on-demand, is expanding immensely, and it has become increasingly difficult for viewers to locate the content they want to watch online,' said Curtis Sund, founder of Find Internet TV, as he launched a Program Listings service for live Internet TV, including a programming grid to find live online video content.

"While a number of companies and sites have made their focus to index video clips on the web," Sund aded, "they've left live streaming video on the sidelines."

Find Internet TV's program grid aims to provide a high quality user experience through an easy-to-navigate, feature-rich format. Users have the ability to jump hour-by-hour through the grid or to specific dates and times, said Sund. He added:

"In addition, users can save their favorite Internet TV channels for easy access. The Find Internet TV Listings includes sites broadcasting from all over the world, in different languages, and in different time zones. To provide the best end-user experience, the site automatically adjusts all program runtimes to match the viewer's time zone."

Sund believes that content providers will benefit from the Listings through increased visibility of their live programming and a clear representation of their offering throughout the day.

"Users that click to view the program are sent directly to the content provider's Web site and, in many cases, to the video landing page. The programming schedule can be easily maintained by authorized representatives via a backend application," he noted.
