TEMPE, AZ -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 03/26/09 --
Limelight Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: LLNW) today
announced that PBS will use the Company's scalable, network-based delivery
infrastructure to help provide local PBS viewers with a rich media
experience that will offer access to live streaming and on-demand content
produced nationally as well as locally.
"This relationship with Limelight Networks will help PBS and our member
stations offer extensive video programming online," said Jason Seiken,
senior vice president of PBS Interactive.
PBS is comprised of 356 member stations, reaching more than 115 million
people on-air and online. This relationship between Limelight Networks and
PBS will help ensure local stations, even those with limited resources,
have the opportunity to more widely distribute their original content
online, bringing more value to their users than ever before. It will also
help provide viewers with access to national content directly from the
website of their local PBS station. Stations already using the new
platform include KPSD South Dakota, WNET New York, and WQED Pittsburgh.
"As audiences continue to use the Internet as a means to enjoy video
on-demand, it is important that television networks prepare their sites
accordingly to meet that demand for content," said David Hatfield, senior
vice president, Limelight Networks, Inc. "We're excited to be working with
PBS on a national and local level to provide on-demand resources that can
quickly scale to accommodate broadcast-quantity audiences, while providing
the best viewing experience possible."
