20minuten.ch becomes a news channel

The website of the commuter newspaper now offers video news on demand around the clock, i.e. the latest news in video format. As 20 Minuten writes, the online offer includes current news videos from the foreign, entertainment and sports sections. The video news is constantly updated. In addition, there is a detailed overview of the most important news from world events three times a day (morning, midday, evening). Five to ten individual reports on various topics will also be produced and offered each day.
The individual contributions have an average length of one and a half to two minutes and are offered as streams in Windows Media Player format, which means that Windows Media Player must be installed.

Peter Wälty, Head of 20minuten.ch, told Werbewoche that the service is still under construction. The content is currently being purchased from the Reuters news agency. However, it is being discussed whether to produce its own video news in-house from the fall, for which only the raw material will then be purchased.
