WBBS s.a., is an international company with its Headquarters in
Switzerland. WBBS's aim is to launch new televisions available world
wide on Internet through the broadband (ADSL) access. WBBS signed a
strong partnership with ROMEreport, the International television news
agency specializing in the Catholic Church based in Rome. ROMEreport
TV will be online next September 1st and available to 400 millions
viewers ADSL subscribers, in full screen in a state-of-the- art
streaming signal which has no competitors (Narrowstep Technology (R)).
This new TV will be the most accessible media world wide to inform all
Catholic everywhere about the life of the Church, ROMEreport TV makes
available short news reports for free 24/7. Video- On-Demand (VOD)
will be on subscription and give access to longer stories,
documentaries and film about the Vatican and Rome. Each month, 4 new x
26 minutes magazines and 1 x 52 will be offered, in English and
Spanish.
In several countries, the audiovisual information offered on the
Pope and the Holy See is far below the audience's request. There is
practically no coverage in Asia, Africa, Oceania, or in many other
nations of Central and South America.
News and reports on the Pope and the Vatican draw great interest
from audiences all over the world. The Catholic Church represents an
international point of reference. In the informative spheres, the
Vatican represents a landmark perspective on current issues. Not only
on strictly religious topics, related to the experience of faith and
the life of the church, but also in other issues with worldwide
consequences, such as peace and war conflicts, bio-ethics and
scientific research, solidarity and the economy.
There are over one billion Catholics spread all over our planet
which constitute an audience for the news that comes from Rome. Many
other people share this interest, whether for religious purposes or
simply to take into account that particular point of view in order to
try to understand the world around them.
ROMEreports accepts the challenge of providing religious
information with a high level of quality with standards that equal any
other specialized information field. Information on the Catholic
Church requires a proximity to the source, knowledge of the
institution, professional creativity and technical excellence, as in
any other field of information.
