Reuters is getting in on the streaming news game (http://www.engadget.com/2014/07/12/cnnx-launches-nationwide/), too. With Reuters TV (http://thomsonreuters.com/press-releases/02-2015/introducing-reuters-tv), the outfit's targeting commuters that want to keep up on current events with personalized, on-demand and live content that's downloadable for offline viewing. Reuters promises real-time coverage as well, giving examples like streaming protests in Egypt or presidential speeches from our nation's capitol. Video content will range from 5 - 30 minutes in length and is produced exclusively for the iOS app (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/reuters-tv/id944245256), drawing from the news organization's some 2,500 journalists on the ground in over 160 countries. Sounds a bit like what the BBC recently did (http://www.engadget.com/2015/01/21/bbc-news-app-personalisation/) for its app, and this could be great for folks where underground WiFi and cell data (http://www.engadget.com/2014/01/28/verizon-lte-nyc-subway/) isn't available just yet, we'd imagine.
