WSJ Live now available through more distribution channels

The WSJ Live, the business newspaper’s online video channel, is now available in via Apple TV, Google TV and Roku, adding significant reach across a variety of platforms for live and on-demand programming from The Wall Street Journal Digital Network. On-demand video from WSJ Live is also now available on Daily Motion.

Previously, the company announced distribution agreements with Boxee, Etisalat, Panasonic’s VIERA Connect-enabled HDTVs, Samsung 2011 Smart TVs, Sony Internet TV, VIZIO Internet Apps HDTVs, and the Yahoo! Connected TV platform.

The WSJ Live app for iPad has been downloaded more than 125,000 times since its launch.

“We’re continuing to rapidly expand the distribution of WSJ Live and users are responding with high downloads and streams,” said Alisa Bowen, general manager of The Wall Street Journal Digital Network, in a statement. “Adoption rates have far surpassed our original goal, and the demand for additional programming – as well as interest from advertisers – continues unabated. This is really just the beginning.”

In addition, The Wall Street Journal will be among the partners creating exclusive content for YouTube’s new original channels, as announced last week. The Journal’s lifestyle channel will feature a daily show based on Off Duty, covering design, fashion, travel, wine, food, and tech.

WSJ Live currently offers up to four hours of live programming each business day – including the “News Hub,” “Lunch Break,” “Digits,” “Opinion Journal” and more – and more than 2,000 on-demand videos from across the company’s network of sites.
