One year following the successful re-launch of GlobalTV.com, Canada’s fastest growing conventional website unveiled its latest site developments last week.
Now fully equipped with a new high-def video player, in addition to its user-friendly capabilities and the hottest television content around, it’s no wonder Canadians have made GlobalTV.com a premier online destination.
Already renowned for its #1 status in viewer engagement, visitors can now expect a more enhanced experience at the site with key elements including:
– New High Definition player & content
– Improved wide screen presentation
– More user friendly interface with easier navigation
– Expanded search functionality
– Quicker turnaround on visitor feedback
“Since the redesign, the viewer response to GlobalTV.com has been outstanding,” said Paul Burns, Vice President, Digital Media, Canwest Broadcasting. “Driven by our network’s content and these site enhancements, consumers and advertisers now have an opportunity to engage with both the programming and each other like never before.”
The improved GlobalTV.com arrives just in time for the network’s slate of season finales starting this month; fans can catch up on all their Global favourites including top hits Glee, House and Survivor.
