Santa Webcasts LIVE Daily from the North Pole
NORTH POLE and BURNABY, BC, Dec. 8 /CNW/ - Interactive Netcasting Systems Inc. (INSINC) today announced the provisioning of FREE live broadband video access via the Internet to Santa Claus on location at the North Pole.
Effective immediately, Santa will be appearing on the web daily to personally take Christmas requests from around the world. Using the latest in satellite and Internet technologies, Santa will be brought to Internet computers where he will tell stories, take phone calls, play games and interact with children in the comfort of their own home. The live webcast site is located at chatwithsanta.com.
INSINC, a pioneer in the delivery of streaming media, is happy to move into the second year of webcasting Santa. Last December the Company announced a multi-year arrangement which would enable children from around the world access to Santa Claus - both to view live on their computer and to speak via a 1-800 number throughout many time zones.
Hugh Dobbie, President of INSINC says, "Mr. Claus embodies the spirit of giving. This is yet another way that he can bring smiles of joy to the faces of children throughout the world. He is truly a magical man and he has become quite the technical wizard as well!"
Claus expressed his delight at being able to be beamed down from the North Pole. "Ho, Ho, Ho I can't wait to chat with all the little boys and girls around the world, Ho, Ho, Ho!"
The North Pole webcasts will be held daily right up until Christmas Eve. A schedule is posted on the website.
