A different perspective on Webcasting:

The webcasting of a Las Vegas murder trial 
is a hit on the Internet. 

TV station KVBC (Las Vegas) began webcasting 
a Las Vegas murder trial on April 19, without 
newscasters or legal analysts to filter the 
information. 

According to the station, "visits to its Web 
site were up 20 percent on the first day of 
the webcast."

The station decided to do this, because "there is 
so much local interest in the story, and the 
they can serve that interest without going to 
expense of pre-empting its regular daily 
programming."

They are, however, providing conventional updates 
on the trial in their nightly newscasts.
