ABC Affiliates Start ‘Vidcasting’ News Broadcasts
Wednesday, October 26th, 2005 at 3:00 PM - by Brad Cook
ABC's New York and Chicago affiliates are now producing video podcasts, which some call "vidcasts," that can be downloaded through the iTunes Music Store and viewed on the new iPods. Journalism.co.uk's Robert Andrews reported that the Chicago affiliate started releasing audio podcasts enhanced with still images in July and is now offering news segments roughly three-and-a-half minutes long.
The downloads are free. Kevin Carpenter, online operations manager of the Chicago station, told Mr. Andrews that the quality of the files is "suitable for full screen computer playback." He noted that the file size is less than 8MB and takes "only a few seconds longer than the audio-only version" to download over a broadband connection. The video podcasts can be easily converted to MP3 files, Mr. Cartpenter added.
