Kickoff for Swiss Television and Kyte

Posted by: Gannon Hall    Under: Customers |

It’s just three days to go until the official start of the UEFA European Football Championship and therefore everybody is preparing for this big event taking place in Austria & Switzerland. So, it’s a great pleasure for us to announce another cooperation with a broadcaster: During the championship Switzerland’s national TV station “Schweizer Fernsehen” is searching for the most active reporter documenting the festivities throughout the country - using the Kyte technology. The winner will gain an exclusive visit at the broadcaster’s studios including live show and meet & greet with a popular Swiss anchor man.

The competition’s website fanwiese.sf.tv is a simple integration based on the Kyte Partner API also using Google Maps to locate where in Switzerland the shows were produced.

Late night LYTE

Posted by: Tesa Lau    Under: Customers |

Almost September’s Channel launched yesterday, and their central personality, MC Lyte – a legendary hip-hop lyricist – recorded her first Kyte video late last night in Los Angeles.

Tired but still spunky, Lyte rocked out on Kyte with her retainer!  Soon after, she and other Almost September artist Jared Lee began text chatting and raving about Kyte’s technology.  They plan on launching more interactive content to their channel – including live events to their fans!

NEXT WEEK on June 3rd, 4th, and 5th – their Myspace page will be featured on Myspace’s login page and their Featured Artists section.  Stay tuned as they continue to load their player with more content!

Watch Lyte rock her retainer:

After sending the Kyte San Francisco team to Europe for months of linguistic research - savoring tapas in Barcelona, exploring the hills of Provence, and soaking in the waters of the Italian Riviera - we are happy to announce that Kyte is available in Spanish, French and Italian!  These languages are in addition to the previously supported English, German, and Czech.  If you find any issues with the translations, please let us know.

Kyting the Red Carpet at Germany’s Comet 2008

Posted by: Gannon Hall    Under: Events |

Viva Switzerland’s VJ Robin kyted this year’s Comet - a German music prize for national pop acts. From the red carpet to the backstage area, Robin got close to acts like Tokio Hotel, Switzerland’s newcomer Stefanie Heinzmann, Germany’s top act Bushido or Marc Terenzi from the US boy band Natural. It was great to see not only what’s happening in front of the TV camera but all that was going on backstage - captured with a Nokia N95 and Kyte Mobile.
