VitalStream Kings of Streaming

By Andrew Lippe

VitalStream Holdings is now powering the Los Angeles Kings online video portal KingsTV for NHL fans with its long-standing partner VirtuPoint. KingsTV will deliver live coverage of pre and post-game interviews with coach and players as well as well as in depth post-game analysis and access to press conferences.

We pioneered Flash for Internet marketing, says Michel Maeso, EVP of sales and marketing at VitalStream. Vital Stream built a global network and its large structure can stream to thousands of users at one time. The expertise is in Flash, using the technology to deliver more content to more eyeballs. Flash is perfect for handling a large market such as Los Angeles, adds Maeso.

VitalStream is our preferred content delivery network and, together with our production and encoding expertise, we provide the L.A. Kings with the best online behind-the-scenes offering in the entire NHL, says Ryan Rockabrand, CEO of VirtuPoint. The company has also worked on the Super Bowl and has contracts with Comcast and SpikeTV for the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
