106 KMEL Broadcasts ‘Block Party’ on Kyte

Posted by: Vera Sparre    Under: Customers |

106 KMEL, the San Francisco Bay Area’s #1 hip hop and R&B station, is using the Kyte platform to broadcast live coverage from KMEL’s Block Party concert.

Fans can go to the KMEL web site and check out backstage interviews with some of the hottest artists in the industry, including Rick Ross, T-Pain, Lloyd, Ne-Yo, David Banner and Trey Songz.  There are rumors of a special guest so be sure to tune in to the KMEL home page and find out who it is!

KMEL will also have a “Fan Cam” Kyte channel on their web site so that online viewers can feel like they are part of the crowd.  Fan Cam will show fans’ reactions to the performances, who looks cute, and who should have left that outfit in the closet!  Who knows - you might even get a shout out from one of your friends at the show!

Spread the channel love, create a Kyteroll

Posted by: Vera Sparre    Under: Tips | Customers |

The Kyte API is a powerful, easy to use tool that allows you to realize the full potential of the Kyte Platform.  One of the many cool things that you can do with the API is dynamically change channels on your web page to create a “Kyteroll.” Similar to a blogroll, a Kyteroll is a list of Kyte channels that users can watch on your web page — essentially “changing channels” without ever leaving or refreshing the page.

Swiss music label Nation Music, which is using Kyte as the video platform for its social network, features interviews with local Swiss artists and American hip hop stars that are visiting the country, such as Ice Cube, Common, Busta Rhymes and the RZA.  To provide users with additional, relevant content, they created a Kyteroll of channels such as 50 Cent, Raheem DeVaughn, and David Banner. These related channels can be viewed dynamically without having to refresh or be redirected to another page.

This is a great example of how to enhance the viewing experience of your site using the Kyte API.  For more information on how to create a Kyteroll using simple client-side Javascript API calls, click here.
