CBC Home Delivery

description

Haig Armen was a key member of a small team asked to develop a broadband pilot project for the cbc. The Home Delivery project came out of a desire to find a way to deliver cbc’s rich media content to people in their homes without them having to go to a lot of work. The weekly “full screen multimedia magazine” began delivering in February 2003.

Episodes of Home Delivery loaded in the background when a user’s computer was online and had unused bandwidth. In the first three months of the pilot 50,000 people viewed the project and won awards from Macromedia (now Adobe) and described it as “part TV, part radio, part magazine photo essay, with just the right amount of interactivity. The result is great storytelling”.
