GO Network's Wall of Sound Taps Entertainment Boulevard's Vidnet for Video Streaming Deal
Wall of Sound Brings Music Fans the Hottest New Clips from an Eclectic Line-up of High Quality Music Videos
BELLEVUE, Wash.--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--July 6, 1999-- GO Network's Wall of Sound (www.wallofsound.go.com), today announced an agreement with Entertainment Boulevard, Inc. (www.entertainmentblvd.com), host of entertainment-oriented streaming content programming, in which Entertainment Boulevard's Vidnet will provide music videos to the Wall of Sound site.
This agreement adds a new layer to Wall of Sound's already deep music coverage with the launch of a new music video section where Wall of Sound users around the world can access an extensive library of music videos by their favorite artists. In addition to the hottest new clips, online music fans will be able to choose from an eclectic lineup that would be nearly impossible to view through conventional broadcast sources.
''Vidnet will give Wall of Sound users fingertip access to high quality music videos with streams that run as fast as 300K,'' said Wall of Sound executive producer Erik Flannigan. ''The addition of videos to Wall of Sound will be especially compelling for hard-core music fans who frequent our site. By teaming up with Vidnet, we are making it possible for users to watch music videos by artists they care about, as many of these clips have not found their way onto mainstream video outlets.''
''This arrangement greatly enriches the content of both sites. We're excited about adding Wall of Sound's news and review elements to Vidnet and are looking forward to the opportunities that GO Network's 21 million user base provides,'' said Entertainment Boulevard CEO Stephen Brown. With Vidnet, Wall of Sound music gurus can get a front row seat to a tremendous variety of artists and styles.
The new section will feature a weekly Top 10 list as well as links to associated artist bios, album reviews and comprehensive discographies. Users will also be able to access additional videos on Vidnet spanning the genres of rock, urban, pop, reggae, latin, country, Christian and jazz.
