Breaking: Major League Baseball Signs Adobe for Streaming, Microsoft's Silverlight has Setback

Author: Added: 11/20/2008 Duration:167.25 http://www.beet.tv/2008/11/breaking-major.html Adobe has landed a two-year agreement with MLB.com to stream its 2,500-plus spring training, regular season and post-season games live to MLB.com's 1.5 million subscribers. Games were previously streamed on Microsoft Silverlight, an arrangement announced in August of 2007. In the rich media platform game, Adobe has a home run here. Details were released a short time ago in a presentation by Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch in San Francisco at MAX, the big Adobe developers conference. In September on the MIT campus, I interviewed Kevin about the evolution of AIR. (Note this is a different Kevin Lynch interview than the one which I posted earlier today on other Adobe news.) Update: Here's the press release from Adobe. -- Andy Plesser, Executive Producer
