In the agreement, for which the financial terms were not disclosed, blinkx will index The History Channel’s historical audio and video content and make it searchable on the web.
“blinkx is thrilled to be partnering with The History Channel UK,” says Suranga Chandratillake, CTO and founder of blinkx. “The History Channel UK offers some of the best historical content on the Web and we are happy to make it easily accessible through blinkx.tv.”
The company says speeches from icons such as Franklin Roosevelt, JFK, Albert Einstein and Neil Armstrong would be made available as well as The History Channel UK’s video picks of the week.
“With increasing numbers of people watching video online, we are keen to make as many of our programme clips available as possible on the website,” said Emily Lloyd, History Channel UK.
“Searchability is obviously extremely important and we’re happy to be partnering with blinkx to ensure that more and more people find and view content from The History Channel,” she said.
