In a break from our more staple news applications, we’ve secured a great deal with Five TV in the UK to bring all their televised matches to the iPhone.

Granted, most people would prefer to watch the game with a cold beer down at the local pub, but this new iPhone app gives those less fortunate the ability to sneak a peek at the action wherever they are.

In addition to the live games, we’ve also hooked up with UEFA to bring you videos of all the key moments of all the UEFA Europa League (formerly the UEFA Cup) games, shortly after they happen.

So if you’re out and about,. but your favourite team is playing, then grab the UEFA Europa League App from Football on Five for just £3.99. It lasts right through until the final in May and there’s no more to pay!

This is the ONLY destination for live football in the UK on the iPhone right now, and we’re even presenting more video clips than UEFA’s own application does.

Join in the action with Football on Five. Only from Livestation

Our hard working chat bouncers received a special gift from us recently: A Livestation mug and some chocs to enjoy while they maintain the peace in the Al Jazeera chatrooms. A difficult task and one that requires a sensitive touch. Chat bouncers: we salute you!

Livestation viewers watching a live debate between Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his challenger in the forthcoming election Mir-Hossein Mousavi voted in favour of the challenger during and at the end of the 90 minutes event.

Thousands watched the debate live on Livestation and hundreds of viewers took part in a live, instant chat as the two candidates set out their position. Half way through the debate, Press TV producers took a poll of how the candidates had fared.

In the first poll, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad polled 31% of the vote with Mir-Hossein Mousavi winning 47%, with 22% undecided.

In the second poll, as the debate drew to a close, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad polled 38% of the vote with Mir-Hossein Mousavi winning 49%, leaving 13% undecided.

Press TV is the latest channel to join Livestation. You can download the Livestation player free of charge at www.livestation.com

Livestation, the destination for live broadcasting over broadband, has built a broadcaster’s tool kit to enable its partner broadcasters to interact with a live TV audience in real time.

The tool kit is currently being tested by partner channel Al Jazeera English and used on the Riz Khan show

The Livestation tool kit includes:

Live Chat moderation tools

This enables broadcasters to moderate the live chat taking place around their live programmes being streamed on Livestation.

Programme producers have always been able to enter the Livestation chat room attached to their live streaming in order to stimulate debate and invite viewer contributions. This has been used regularly by the Riz Khan production team to draw questions, add perspective and engage the audience in the live debate.

Now those programme producers are able to warn or silence offenders in order to maintain standards of taste and decency and limit the likelihood of offence and flooding (repeat posting).

Live Panel

The tools include the ability to send out instant polls and encourage viewers to vote on the key question being addressed by a programme.

Producers set the question and multi-choice answers and set a time limited. Once the Live Panel is sent a pop up appears on each viewers screen and they are able to vote. When the poll closes a new graphic pops up with the result. Real-time, instant, interactive feedback from a global broadband audience.

Programme Alerts

The third tool in the broadcasters’ pack is the ability to send out alerts when a show is coming up which involves viewer participation. This enables broadcasters to invite people to join the chat, participate in the live show and take part in any polls.
