Skinkers, communication you can't miss

Livestation has been shortlisted in the new MediaGuardian Innovation Awards which recognises achievement in media innovation. The Awards will reward mould breakers, scene shifters, movers and shakers – anyone, in fact, pushing the boundaries of innovation in media in the UK.

The judging panel scrutinized all the entries at length before coming to a decision about the shortlist. Among those separating the media wheat from the chaff this year were Katie Derham, Brent Hoberman, Peter Bazalgette, John Bartle and many more high profile media gurus.

Livestation has been selected as one of only three finalists in the Digital Innovation – Technology category: http://megas.guardianprofessional.co.uk/shortlist-innovation-technology.aspx

"Innovation is breaking up the ground, tearing up the rule book and daring to do things differently.  One can recognise innovation in a new business model or in outrageous creativity and imagination.  This is what I will be looking for from the entries." Brent Hoberman, mydeco

“Livestation redefines the boundaries of television over the Internet. Computers connected to broadband networks have a lot more potential than TV as they provide a global, interactive and inexpensive experience. People expect to be able to watch television on all their devices. Livestation can help bridge the gap between expectations and complexity to deliver a compelling television experience on computers.” Matteo Berlucchi, CEO Skinkers.

The winners will be announced on 06 March at the Indigo2, at the O2 Arena.
