12 August 2016 - 12:47AM
KVH Media Group, part of KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq:KVHI), is
pleased to announce that V.Group has renewed its subscription to
KVH Media Group’s daily NEWSlinkTM service supplying more than 500
vessels. To kick off the renewal, V.Group opted for NEWSlink’s
special editions covering the sports events in Rio de Janeiro this
month.
“Renewing our subscription to NEWSlink was an easy decision to
make,” says Andy Cook, V.Group global crew operations director.
“The service is really popular among our seafarers, and each master
can select from the list of available titles to suit the interests
and nationalities of the seafarers onboard a particular
vessel.”
Each ship has a choice of more than 100 NEWSlink titles ranging
from country-specific daily news in more than 20 local languages,
to a healthy living title, technical articles, and even a
newsletter for car enthusiasts.
“I’m sure that sports fans among the V.Group seafarers will be
kept entertained by the thrills and spills at Rio,” says Rob
Parkin, sales director for KVH Media Group. “These special editions
are just one more reason that V.Group is a longterm client of our
global news service. Every day, year-round, our dedicated NEWSlink
team provides round-the-clock news from our newsrooms in Liverpool,
Delhi, and Manila.”
NEWSlink’s portfolio of high-quality daily and weekly newspaper
digests are currently enjoyed by seafarers and cruise guests on
more than 8,500 vessels around the world. The NEWSlink titles come
in a range of formats and through a range of technologies, and are
available in compact formats for maritime and other industries
where bandwidth is limited or delivery costs are high.
These newspapers are also available via KVH’s ground-breaking
IP-MobileCastTM content delivery service, which utilizes
satellite-based multicasting technology to deliver content via a
vessel’s broadband connection without affecting the vessel’s data
speed or airtime plan.
