NEW YORK, JUNE 4, 2015 - Today Reuters, the world's largest international
multimedia news provider, released Reuters TV for iPad, with Boeing as its
exclusive launch sponsor. Following the successful launch of Reuters TV for

TV service to iPad users with a beautiful, seamless experience. The latest app
release also includes a number of enhancements for both iPad and iPhone users,
including a more succinct opening sequence and improved refresh handling. The
app is exclusively available on the App Store.
Reuters TV is aimed at a growing segment of informed, mobile, and globally
engaged consumers who value authentic video storytelling and are too busy to
watch traditional TV news.
Isaac Showman, Managing Director of Reuters TV said, "We're excited to bring
this latest version of the Reuters TV app to iPad users, delivering video
content that is relevant, on-demand, and up-to date for each viewer."
As with Reuters TV for iPhone, the iPad app offers two unique services:
Reuters Now - an algorithmically assembled but editorially curated news program
that is:
* On-demand
* Up-to-date
* Any duration (between 5 and 30 minutes)
* Customized to each viewer's interests and location
* Downloadable for offline viewing
Live Feeds:
* Real-time coverage of global events (from protests in Egypt to Presidential
speeches in Washington D.C.)
* Unfiltered and uninterrupted
* Available live and on-demand
Further updates to Reuters TV for iPad include:
* Re-designed portrait player for Reuters Now making it easier for viewers to
share stories in their news show
* Re-designed portrait player for Live Feeds: Includes recommendations and
links to other Live Feeds in the app
* A more succinct opening sequence and improved refresh handling
Editorial content from Reuters TV is produced exclusively for the service and
draws upon Reuters extraordinary reach from 2,500 journalists in over 160
countries. In order to deliver the service's variable program lengths, all
content is produced in multiple versions and organized by editorial teams in
London, Hong Kong, New York and Washington DC, providing 24/7 coverage for
viewers.
Reuters TV for iPad is available exclusively on the App Store in the US and UK.
At launch, users can access a free 30-day preview of the service, with ongoing
access charged at $1.99/£1.49 per month via in-app subscription.
