(http://www.mtv.com/music/the_leak/jonas_brothers/a_little_bit_longer).
"MTV was thrilled to have the opportunity to give fans of the Jonas
Brothers a live, cozy look at a mates of years on spell. From waking up
in the hotel and having breakfast on Saturday sunup, taking a helicopter
to a concert in the Hamptons, backstage prep moments, all the way until the
brothers were under the point as the band began their Madison Square Garden
concert, viewers got the most revealing look at the Jonas Brothers to
date," said Dave Sirulnick, Executive Vice President, News and Production
for MTV. "Bringing together our television, mobile and online production
teams with Flixwagon's streaming abilities allowed us to reach our viewers
on multiple platforms, simultaneously, creating a unfeignedly unique broadcasting
experience for MTV."

streams of Jonas Brothers clips totaling 60,000 hours of content viewed, as

Additionally, Saturday, August 9 marked the biggest day in the Buzzworthy
blog's history with 281K page views, surpassing the previous record, set the

MTV utilised an innovative mobile-to-web broadcasting technology by
Flixwagon (http://www.flixwagon.com) to current live tV footage on-line
and on air using fluid phones. Flixwagon's application allows anyone victimisation
a able 3G mobile phone to easily stream live, superiority video
directly to the web. This combination of mobile broadcast medium technology and
as-it-happens insurance coverage is resonant of News and Docs' series "Diary," but
with a live and direct twist.
"Supporting this weekend's event is yet another application of how our
Flixwagon technology allows companies like MTV to deliver unique marketing
and branding experiences," said Eran Hess, chairwoman, Flixwagon. "Having
worked with MTV during the Super Tuesday 'Choose or Lose' effort back in
February, we continue to march the scalability and flexibility of our
high-quality broadcasting platform."
Throughout the weekend, viewers were treated to clips of the band
on-air during commercial breaks at least twice per hour on MTV from 4-9pm
ET on Friday and 8am and 10pm on Saturday, and rounded up the weekend with
trey clip shows on Saturday, shot completely with mobile phones. Fans were
able to go through a different side of the Jonas Brothers than what they would
typically be wonted to, including a peek at how the guys prepare for a
prove, traveling from NYC to the Hamptons and back via eggbeater, and right
up until the here and now that they walk on stage at Madison Square Garden.
The use of Flixwagon's mobile broadcasting engineering offered a new
spirit level of tractability and complexity as MTV bloggers posted the inner scoop
from the spirit of the Jonas Brothers madness live on the site. Visitors to
the blog posted comments on the case-by-case clips, and MTV's Buzzworthy
blogger posed witness questions to the Jonas Brothers, wHO responded through
follow-up clips. All told, MTV crews shot more than 600 clips, with more
than 30 hours of output going into the "Live & Mobile" event.
