While WorldTV has been a long time in the making, the self-broadcasting Internet television service still had a bit of catching up to do, when looked at comparatively against services like Mogulus. However, WorldTV announces today that it now supports Qik, one of the more popular live mobile streaming services that's being used for the inclusion of live broadcasting from mobile devices.
The support of Qik means that the playing field is getting more level for WorldTV, as it begins to build out its feature set. The integration of Qik is twofold: WorldTV users can have live broadcasts through their channel by using a compatible mobile phone, or they can access other WorldTV users' Qik content in order to layer it into their own channels. You'll see the Qik options under the new 'Phone' tab on your WorldTV account dashboard.
When you stream live through Qik, your WorldTV channel will immediately switch from its current programming to your live broadcast, so it truely is live. Although, there is an option to archive Qik content on WorldTV if you'd rather take a look at it before sharing it with your audience. What's more, is WorldTV will help you get the word out by sending an automatic Twitter update, alerting your followers to your live broadcast.
