live stream in 2016
Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO) today announced that it will host the
exclusive live stream of Berkshire Hathaway’s (BRK.A; BRK.B) annual
shareholders meeting on Saturday May 6, 2017, for the second year
in a row. Approximately 40,000 Berkshire Hathaway shareholders from
around the world attend the highly anticipated annual event. In
2016, Yahoo Finance opened the meeting to the general public via
live stream, for the first time ever, with more than 1 million
viewers tuning in.
“The Berkshire Hathaway live stream represents the best of what
Yahoo Finance can offer: unprecedented scale, premium live
streaming capabilities, and exclusive editorial content,” said
Yahoo Finance editor in chief, Andy Serwer. “We’re thrilled that
Warren Buffett and his team came back to us to bring this amazing
event to the world.”
To date there have been approximately 17 million views of Yahoo
Finance’s exclusive live and VOD coverage of the Berkshire Hathaway
shareholders meeting. Audiences came to Yahoo Finance to hear
first-hand from Mr. Buffett and Vice Chairman Charlie Munger, watch
interviews with a wide range of notable guests, experience the
weekend festivities around Omaha, and the carnival-like atmosphere
of the exhibition hall where many of Berkshire's subsidiaries
showcase their products and services.
The 2017 live stream will appear exclusively on Yahoo Finance -
across all devices - reaching more than 75 million monthly users,
and will once again be broadcast in both English and Mandarin. An
exclusive VOD replay will be available on Yahoo Finance for 30 days
following the meeting. Yahoo will offer video and display
advertising, as well as sponsorship opportunities alongside the
live stream.
