Today, Brightcove customers around the world unveiled special Election Day online video coverage. We are thrilled to see such a diversity of publishers using online video to tell their stories about American politics, provide unique insights into the campaigns, and connect with audiences across the Web. Here are some highlights: 

We are very excited to announce that the British Prime Minister's Office, 10 Downing Street, has chosen the Brightcove platform for its official online video destination on the Web, Number10TV. New website offerings will include exclusive video of the Prime Minister speeches, press conferences, media appearances, and news archives.

We are extremely excited to announce the launch of NYC TV On-Demand, a new broadband video initiative that will provides hundreds of high-quality video clips from NYC TV's Emmy Award-winning shows. The Internet video channel features a high-speed search engine across neighborhoods and topics, and the ability to email clips to friends.

Today, Rudy Giuliani launched his Internet video campaign with Brightcove, http://www.joinrudy2008.com/videos/. Over the coming weeks and months, the Giuliani campaign will be rolling out a number of new Internet video offerings and syndication opportunities for supporters to feature high-quality campaign videos on community websites, blogs and MySpace pages.
