AOL Follows 'Live 8'
With Hilary Duff
|
ON THE HEELS OF ITS Webcast
of Live 8 earlier this
month, America Online Monday
started streaming
behind-the-scenes
pre-concert footage shot
before Hilary Duff's concert
in Hartford, Conn.
The Webcam footage, on Radio
KOL (Kids Online) between 3
p.m. and 7 p.m., included
feeds showing the backstage
preparations and an
interview with Duff, said an
AOL spokeswoman. The concert
itself was not streamed. KOL,
America Online's channel for
youngsters, plans similar
pre-concert streams for
Duff's performances in
Richmond, Va. and Roanoke,
Va. on Wednesday and Friday,
respectively. For now, no
sponsorships are connected
with the feature.
The Radio KOL channel also
hosts what the company is
calling a "preview" Hilary
Duff concert, consisting of
tracks she recorded for AOL
Music.
The streams of Duff's
concert preparations are the
first live
performance-related events
KOL has broadcast, said the
spokeswoman. The initiative
follows in the footsteps of
AOL's July 2 Live 8 streams,
which drew 5 million
visitors that day--including
175,000 who simultaneously
streamed portions of the
show.
