HuffPost Live is an Internet-based video streaming network run by news website ''The Huffington Post''. The network produces original programming as well as live conversations among users via platforms such as Skype and Google+. Live content is streamed for 8 hours each weekday, from 10 A.M. to 6 P.M. EST. Instead of the usual TV news format of individual "shows", the network is divided into shorter segments covering an individual story or topic from the parent website as well as other segments pertaining to a specific part of the site itself (politics, money, front page, etc.) It launched on August 13, 2012. ==History== ''Huffington Post'' co-founder Arianna Huffington announced plans in February 2012 to launch a "breakthrough project" in a blog post to mark a year since the news website was acquired by AOL. The project, then called "HuffPost Streaming Network", was described by Huffington as a "more relaxed, more free-flowing, and much more spontaneous and interactive" platform to disseminate content, unlike television. The project was later renamed "HuffPost Live". ''Huffington Post'' founding editor Roy Sekoff and Gabriel Lewis, head of AOL Studios, co-created and developed the project. The third member of the senior management team is Mitch Semel, Executive Editor of HuffPost Live.〔 Sekoff described it as "CNN meets YouTube".〔 He said the project intends to take advantage of the ''Huffington Post''s "engaged" community which produced 54 million comments on the site in 2011. The company held a demonstration to showcase the interactive components of the network on February 2, 2012 at a press conference in Manhattan. During the press conference, Huffington noted that the network will launch with 100-strong staff.〔 The site launched on August 13, 2012 with Verizon and Cadillac listed as founding partners. On December 18, 2014, HuffPost Live and Kosiner Venture Capital made an application to the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission to bring the service to conventional television in Canada. 〔(AOL Launches Bid to Get HuffPost Live on Canadian TV ) The Hollywood Reporter 2015-12-19〕〔(HuffPost Live seeks approval from CRTC to start Canadian stream ) Globe And Mail 2015-12-18〕 〔(Huffington Post applies to CRTC for Canadian television channel ) The Canadian Press 2015-12-18〕〔(CRTC Public Proceedings 2014-1310-4 ) Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunication 2015-12-18〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HuffPost Live」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
