RT? Player now includes Live TV streaming

RT? Player has today updated its free online video catch-up service to enable live streaming of channels RT? One, RT? Two, and RT? News Now. It’s not yet understood if all programming will be made available, but this certainly is a welcome move from our national broadcaster.

In a tweet earlier today, RT? Player officially announced live streaming capabilities,

We’re excited here @ RT? Player!! We’ve just launched a new feature: Live TV!!! Check it out: http://bit.ly/blIqWK

RT? Player was initially launched in April 2009 and has been growing steadily since. This growth has also been helped by the launch of RT? Player for the PS3 in December of last year.

However, this latest move may not bode well with other broadcasters including TV3 and the National Newspapers of Ireland (NNI), who are already angered by our previous government’s decision to allow RT? to broadcast five new digital channels from this May.
