Singapore Press Holdings announced its latest digital initiative Friday, an interactive Web TV service to be launched later in the year, Asia Media Journal reported.
The Straits Times Razor TV will be a free-access, interactive Web television service, and will deliver live studio content and on-demand videos over a real-time interactive platform, SPH Chairman Tony Tan stated in the announcement.
The SPH's new Multimedia Centre will house all the group's English-language digital operations, including Razor TV, AsiaOne and Stomp.
“We are keeping pace with the latest online developments and creating an exciting interactive environment across the print, mobile and Internet platforms,” Tan said, according to Asia Media Journal. “In the near future, an Innovation Laboratory will be added to the Multimedia Centre so that the latest, cutting-edge ideas can be nurtured and developed. The laboratory will become a showcase of how news will be delivered and consumed in the future.”
The Web TV service will also allow third-party developers to create applications to the Web site, much like Facebook does, the press release stated.
