Two years ago the big thing was VoIP, telephone over the internet. The new big thing is TV over the internet, and it's a tempting big new thing indeed, promising to represent a real challenge to cable. At the least, it stands to force down the high price consumers pay to watch television. And as a competing distribution stream, IPTV could also usher in a flood of new, innovative programming choices. The question is when? Technologies on the horizon have a way of staying on the horizon, defying their promoters' promises of sweeping through the marketplace any minute now. The...

I never really have cared to ask this before, but I just discovered the new Treo I have does a pretty good job of playing streaming audio from the Internet. I know that internet streams from shoutcast.com and treobits.com will work... but I'm not that encouraged by the listings I've seen thus far. Most of it looks like leftist ramblings that couldn't make it on commercial radio. In any case, are there any recommendations from fellow FReepers for good conservative internet radio stations? Thanks, -- Joe P.S. If you have a Treo, Pocket Tunes Deluxe is the software that allows...

It's one more way people will be able to find their favorite TV shows without having to fire up their TVs. ABC says it will offer four of its primetime shows on its web site. The shows can be watched on the site for free for two months after their original air date. The offer includes the hits "Desperate Housewives," "Lost,” "Alias,” and "Commander In Chief." But there is a catch! The shows will include advertisements that cannot be skipped over during viewing. The offer starts next month on ABC.com.

ABC's Prime-Time Hits And Zap-Proof Commercials Are Pillars of Bold Strategy Walt Disney Co. plans to make much of its newest and most popular programming on ABC and other channels available free anytime on the Web, in a move that could speed the transformation of television viewing habits and help revive the struggling TV advertising business.

Episodes will be available the morning after they air...

Online video has arrived in a big way. CBS' March Madness on Demand offering, live streams of games from the NCAA college basketball tournament, has proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that people are willing to go on to the Web to view live entertainment.

March 17, 2006, 11:09 AM PST March Madness on CBS.com: it killed Posted by: Molly Wood CBS offering free streams of March Madness basketball games? I was skeptical, but it delivered--big time. In fact, it delivered a record 1.2 million streams in the first five hours and actually kept waiting, time-outs, and glitches to a surprising minimum. Oh, and it made a bajillion dollars on ads, too. Not too shabby, CBS. Not at all.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- CBS Inc. (CBS) kicked off its first-ever free live showing online of the men's NCAA tournament, with more than 100,000 people either watching the video of the Seton Hall vs. Wichita game, or in a virtual waiting room, trying to get in. The live video streams were running 365 kilobits per second. Larry Kramer, head of CBS's digital operations, said he's prepared for at least 200,000 simultaneous viewers, placing the tournament Webcasts squarely among the top live online draws of all time.

I'd like to know if there is any way to watch Fox News on internet like any other TV Channels that have live streaming. Any help/idea is very much appreciated!

Please post links here in reply if you know of websites that offer streaming replays of certain talk radio programs, especially late at night. I have certain radio shows I love, but can't often catch during the day while I'm working. I'd love to listen at night on the Internet. So, if you know of any radio stations that have streaming broadcasts at odd hours, please post a link here, along with the hours and time zones when I can catch those shows. Thanks in advance.

Be quick, this might get pulled, but the streaming media out of NO seems to be dropping of Internet. It would be a great help if folks could post links to live streams for the office bound.

Does anyone know how to listen to Fox News Radio over the Internet? Is it possible?

Hi, I am a long time reader of FR, and so yesterday I joined and made my first post because I wanted to get some links to hear streaming of Michael Savage’s show. I had an interesting first experience that should be reflected on. First, I just wanted to say thanks to people who posted links …On the other hand…I’m rather saddened by the fear and loathing that some of the other puerile posts showed toward Savage. While I don’t agree with everything he says, I appreciate that he doesn’t march in lock step with any political party. It’s not...

I'm looking around for some podcasts worth listening to, and I figured my fellow freepers would have some insight. I'm especially intersted in political, technological and theological topics. Maybe this thread could serve as a central compendium of "Free Republic Approved" podcasts?

SAN JOSE, Calif. - After getting a taste of the radio business in college, software designer Craig Patchett never lost his interest in broadcasting. But without a job in radio, it seemed likely to remain one of those unfulfilled passions — until something called "podcasting" came along. Now, Patchett's creating shows and sending them out to the masses every day — not over the airwaves to radios but over the Internet, from his personal computer in Carlsbad, Calif. His listeners download his shows to their iPods and other digital music players. Patchett, 43, is among a growing number of people...
