Oct 29, 2009, NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - October 29, 2009) - Our World Live (OWL) and Billboard have entered into a strategic alliance to bring music fans billboardlive.com, a new internet concert series that allows unprecedented access to the biggest names in entertainment. Music and television industry veterans Tzvi Small and Ron Weisner serve as executive producers for the series.

A free online live performance show that is a must-see event for music fans, has been long absent from the entertainment landscape. Launching October 29 and airing Thursdays live online from a different city, billboardlive.com will be the first live web concert series streamed in High Definition, allowing for a pristine viewing and listening experience.

Billboardlive.com utilizes OWL's state-of-the-art technology, powered by Microsoft Silverlight to provide fans with five-camera angles, where the viewer becomes the director for the ultimate interactive viewing experience. Instead of being confined to traditional static concert footage, fans will have the ability for the first time ever to view the concert from five different angles of their choosing. In addition to the larger, full-screen view, fans will see four smaller screens at the bottom of their computer. They can replace the main image at any time with any of those views for a different experience with just the click of their mouse. Each show will also highlight a specific Billboard chart of the week. At the same time they can Twitter and send live messages to their Facebook friends directly from the concert 5 camera player.
