The organisation behind the NewsPlayer+ and StagePlayer+ streaming services is to launch a crowdfunder.
Delivered via an app on TVs, tablets, smartphones, and laptops, NewsPlayer+ can also be viewed across a growing number of large screen connected devices and platforms, including Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, and the NewsPlayer+ website.
NewsPlayer+ offers access to news providers including Al Jazeera, Bloomberg, CGTN (China), Euronews, as well as channels, which up until now have not been widely accessible in the UK, including C-SPAN (USA), i24 (Israel), Newsmax (USA), Ticker (Australia) and Times Now (India).
The company wants to use the funds to expand NewsPlayer+ into the United States, Canada, Asia Pacific and Middle East. StagePlayer+ would add new pay-per-view content.
The crowdfunder is initially being offered to members who must have signed up for at least 24 hours before they invest.
