Scoop: ABC Television Has Shareable Video Player and Launches Updated Long-Form Player Tonight

ABC Television has just introduced a sharable video player for short-form segments from its entertainment line-up. I've posted the player here on Beet.TV. Later tonight the company will introduce a revamped video player, with a greatly enhanced user interface.

Earlier today in New York at the OMMA conference, I interviewed Albert Cheng, Executive Vice President of Digital Media for Disney-ABC Television Group. The interview is below:

Although the introduction of sharable player for short form video is not new, NBC and others have had them for some time, the evolution of the highly regarded, Move Networks-powered video player, is one to watch. 

More on Albert at the conference reported by the Silicon Alley Insider's Peter Kafka.

Here's paidContent's David Kaplan's interview with Albert.
