DirecTV to Broadcast Network Live Shows

Iria

Network Live, a digital entertainment venture that delivers programming via Internet, satellite and other media, announced Thursday that it has reached an agreement with DirecTV as its newest distribution partner.

Network Live founders America Online Inc., XM Satellite Radio and AEG Live had been looking to expand their joint broadcast platform through digital television. The companies recently agreed to invite DirecTV on-board.

Under terms of the agreement, DirecTV will stand in as Network Live's first-window television partner.

Network Live will act as entertainment programming partner and will offer DirecTV customers access to live broadcasts at no additional cost, as part of their existing subscription service.

"We were looking for a TV partner to round out our horizontal distribution network," said a company spokesperson. "DirecTV's structure and vision is similar to ours, so it just made sense to work together."
