Attend TV is a dynamic evolving IPTV station, part of The Attend Television group ( www.attend.tv ) which specialises in broadcasting interviews with Companies which have something to offer the global B2B and B2C communities as well as agents, wholesalers, Investors and other companies. We have accredited Attend.tv production crews working in many major cities across the world. Our main area of expertise has been gathered at exhibitions which companies would like to attend but find impossible either due to credit crunch, time constraints or geographical location.

Many major companies spend large amounts of their marketing budget to show their wares at major exhibition centres but the number of International visitors is limited. With attend TV any company can bring their product to their prospective clients no matter how far away they are and irrespective of which country they live in.  Even companies active in the same country as the exhibitor may be prevented from attending due to previous commitments but with Attend.tv the company can bring the exhibition booth to the client by the means of the world wide web.

What do we show on Attend.tv
The golden rule is that the clip should be of a product or service that people would usually pay to attend an exhibition or show to see or hear about or would want to .It could be interviewing a designer and showing their collection, unsigned bands at a music festival, Dancers at a competition.

How long is each interview
That is a very difficult question because often in the middle of an interview something like a tannoy will go off with a message or someone will walk in front of the company but generally we find that we need to spend about 15 minutes filming the stand, the products and interviewing the person in charge to get between 2 - 5 minutes of broadcast quality footage which is the length we usually recommend to broadcast. ( We officially limit the length of the clip to 4 minutes but we don't look that closely at an extra minute and have no objection to two clips from the same company following each other.

Is Attend.tv a free service?
Yes & No
,  Any professional Company will be aware that to have a corporate video made costs thousands with no guarantee that it will be seen. Attend.tv won't send a production crew, interview your person in charge, film your products and edit the footage for free but we will put you in contact with production specialists who are accredited by us and who charge reasonable rates to do that

What we will do is give you technical help so that we receive your clip/infomercial, take the time to inspect it, evaluate it for suitability and allocate it to a channel. We will handle all the legal elements such as consent and release forms for you, ensure that all performing rights laws have been adhered to  and our legal experts will check the content to ensure that no laws are being breached. Then we will upload it it to that channel and ensure that it appears correctly in the right place, in the right order, send you the code to embed on your website, and remove it for you after 12 months  or we will remove it earlier if you wish. For all this we charge a fee of £50 + vat , ( 55 Euros or  $85). U tub will let you do all that for free if you wish to be included with all the teenage prank clips and animal trick footage. Our clips also have no YouTube logo on them.

After your clip has been evaluated by us or one of our authorised Resellers or agents  Attend TV will then broadcast your clip for one year free of charge or until you ask us to remove it, allow your clients to access it on demand from any part of the globe at any time of the day or night.

What can be uploaded?
Any single clip can be uploaded, or several linked together to create a programme. A programme can be left “open” so that others can contribute videos to it or made “private” so that only you can add content to the programme over a period of time. Using the programme facility also enables you to choose the sequence in which the clips are played. This is far superior to simple tags. Sexy is good but please do not ask us to upload clips with indecent content -they will be swiftly deleted which just wastes everybody’s time! (if in doubt what indecent means email us)

Can any format be uploaded?
No, only Flash uploads will work, but this is not a problem. Use the converter on the site. Please note that for best results a “wide screen” format should be used when taking your clip. However other formats will play on the site in a reduced width player. For the technically minded amongst you: The ideal specification for your flash upload is as follows: Format FLV: Parameters: video frame rate = 25, video bitrate = 360, video size = 16:9, deinterlace = true, audio channels = 2, audio bitrate = 56, audio sampling rate =22050.

(Everything written here is correct at the time of writing but we develop and evolve in this rapidly changing business environment so this page changes to accommodate the feedback we receive from our i-reporters so please bookmark it and return on a regular basis)
 

Can a clip be added to more than one programme?
No, This results in viewers thinking they have a new programme to watch and seeing a repeat of an earlier item. In any event our advanced search facilities will ensure each item can be easily located. Having said that, if it really is appropriate to repeat a clip, you could always give the clip a new name and upload it again!

Who owns the footage?

What are i-reporters
i-reporters are our eyes and ears in their local area whether it be Birmingham, Bombay, Beijing, Brisbane or Baltimore. We rely upon them to bring us the "action" in their local area, to inform us what events people attend there. We support them with years of experience and by being their critical friend. i-reporters are part of mini journalistic teams. These teams are made up of a presenter, a videographer/editor and a researcher to find which companies to interview. Every i-reporter team has a team leader but an i-reporter can therefore be any one of the team components who either organises the other components themselves or who we put together with other team members. They must however be able to work in a smart, confident,  entrepreneurial manner , on their own initiative and organise their own teams as they work in all global locations and time zones.They must be able to use their own initiative to convince individuals with massive egos to not only take them seriously but also spend time and resources during their busy day to be interviewed . In that vein Our presenters are not just attractive  speakers. They have to be entrepreneurial, management individuals with a large portion of common sense who have the ability to organise. Every week we receive many applications and we accredit on average only 10% of applicants

Vacancies with/for Attend.tv
We currently seek i-reporters in all continents and in many cities, the demand for our service is growing and we regularly need young dynamic, fun, sexy and professional freelance i-reporter  production teams to work with us. Irrespective of your past experience you will be asked to send us a current clip of you speaking to a camera. We will then either accredit you as an experienced i-reporter of as a trainee and enter you into our media training programme at no cost to yourself. Presenters should be attractive whether male or female and the videographer competent but at the same time they are in the business world and usually it’s not red carpet work with evening gowns and jewels, even for the videographer unless they provide their own.Should you wish to have further information regarding working with us please email admin@attend.tv
