Long-form video gaining viewers on the web

The web is still the preferred source for short video clips of 3 to 5 minutes but recent statistics provided by Move networks show that people are using the web more to watch longer videos than ever before.

· So far in November, more than 100,000 new individuals are watching long-form video (anything 20 minutes or over) online each day, twice as many as in August.

· In November, the average session length is more than 50 minutes.

· In October 2007, more than 6 million people watched long form streaming video online.

· Since March 2007, Move has streamed almost 50 million hours of television.

Move networks powers the media players and back-end streaming infrastructure for ABC, ESPN360, Fox On-Demand, and the Discovery Channel
