Livestation.com, the company that streams live TV over broadband, has teamed up with the German broadcaster, Deutsche Welle, to carry its TV and radio offerings.

Germany’s international broadcaster becomes the ninth partner channel to join Livestation and is now a channel choice alongside BBC World, EuroNews (English, French, German and Italian), France 24 (French and English), Bloomberg, Al Jazeera and Russia Today.

According to Holger Hank, Head of the New Media Division at Deutsche Welle: “More and more viewers are expecting excellent quality and high resolution when they are watching Internet television online. That’s why we are delighted to offer DW-TV on Livestation. We know that more and more of Deutsche Welle’s viewers are switching to the Internet.”

Livestation’s CEO, Matteo Berlucchi, said the addition of Deutsche Welle brings a fresh and relevant perspective to the channel choices offered on the player. “We are delighted to have such a globally recognised brand join us as a partner channel. Livestation is all about choice, and having Deutsche Welle offering a German, European perspective on world news is extremely important to us. We have found, from looking at our statistics, that Livestation viewers like to compare and contrast the way the big players treat news. This ability to have so many perspectives all in one place is a Livestation strength.”
