So G4 paid for exclusive rights to air live coverage from the E3 show floor, so when that small podcast network TWiT said that they were also going to cover it live, they heard from G4's legal department. Here's the link. However it was announced they somehow managed to sort out those issues, probably in a similar way that Gamespot manages to cover E3 every year. Now they're going to be live from the show floor. What does everyone think about this? If they can do it, could Whiskey Media and the Giant Bomb team also negotiate a deal? After all, the raw footage would be a very efficient way of airing their views on everything they see while also being able to do those E3 Day X videos they do every year.

wow every year E3 become dumber and dumber.

There's no need for them to waste their time and resources streaming that content when it's being done by bigger websites, with larger teams that could do it more competently than GB ever could.
 
Totally misread that. I thought you meant live streams of the conferences and such. Well GB don't do live coverage for that stuff anyway, but you can expect videos being uploaded of interviews and such. There's the potential for jeff/ryan to do something on ustream I suppose.

I dont think the GB crew were going to do live coverage via video, they would probably do like last time (if I remmber correctly) do a live twit of the news with link to one of the streaming websites and later that day upload videos from the show.

What is TWiT?

I don't think Giantbomb would ever broadcast live from E3. Unless I'm misreading this, it seems like there would be nothing stopping GB from doing their normal recorded stuff.

We want to do live coverage of E3

" What is TWiT? "

Actually, twit got a deal where they can live broadcast as long as they get off when G4 starts their live coverage (and mention g4 at the end of stream).

just watch it on TV.

Why should g4 get all the fun, they haven't done anything video game related in over 10 years.

Gamespot pays for their own booth, that's how they work that issue out.

I'm gonna guess it's very expensive to do this, so GB won't be doing anything like this.

" @t2t2:  You're right, I did hear that initially. However, there some something mentioned on TWiT 250 when Leo said (and BTW, he did repeat that exact comment on the same show as well) that they were waving the 'they have to get off when G4 starts' clause. Can't remember where it is time wise, perhaps I'll be able to find it when the written transcript to the show is released. "

I believe the limitation is 10 minutes of live broadcast from the show floor. I'm not sure what other outlets are doing to get around it, but it sounds like it's been a hassle for everyone on every side of the situation. 
 
We will probably have some form of live component to our coverage, but we're not planning on doing it from the show floor. We'll be too busy going out, seeing games, and shooting interviews to set up live shots and hassle with whatever weird negotiating has to be done to make all of that a reality.
