BroadbandTV, Huffington Post Launch Online Video News Network

Like many other multi-channel networks, BroadbandTV divides its partners across a series of verticals, many of which focus on specific genres or categories. Now, the Vancouver-based company is adding to its list of verticals through a partnership with a top media company. It has teamed with The Huffington Post to launch Outspeak, which it calls “the first next-generation online video journalism network.”

News channels and content creators who join Outspeak will be able to distribute their work across both the BroadbandTV and Huffington Post networks. In addition, they will be find other programming and monetization opportunities, and will be able to take advantage of BroadbandTV’s suite of tools, such as Viso Catalyst

“As we continue to prioritize and build upon our video strategy, we’re delighted to be partnering with BBTV,” said Arianna Huffington, Co-Founder and Editor-in-Chief of The Huffington Post, in a release. “With the launch of Outspeak we’re thrilled at the opportunity to collaborate with emerging talent and creators to further build our presence on YouTube.”

Other verticals within the BroadbandTV network include TGN, which caters to gamers, and Opposition, which hones in on hip-hop culture.
