World Wide Internet TV is an independent website that provides streaming media for free. Similar to FlixTor, wwiTV provides a wide range of streaming content to its audience. You can stream some of the most popular channels on this IPTV network for free. Though wwiTV in no way is a cord-cutting alternative, you can still get away without any premium network, if you just want to enjoy news channels and entertainment content from around the world. There are more than 400+ channels comprising of news and entertainment content from around the world on World Wide Internet TV.
Frank Huisman, the CEO of wwiTV, says that "wwiTV is a guide for users to find the best news and entertainment content on their website." There are more than one channel from each country and 100+ channels from the US alone on wwiTV.
What is wwiTV?
The website wwiTV.com is a live streaming service that streams content from over 200 news and entertainment channels across the world. wwiTV is one of the oldest streaming services, and its layout can be understood by looking at its history.
News content in multiple languages
Regardless of where you are in the world, you can continue to enjoy news content on wwiTV with a steady internet connection. You don't just get news channels from the US and the UK, but from all across the globe from countries such as Russia, India, Turkey, Brazil, Haiti, Kenya, and even Saudi Arabia. Thus, with wwiTV you get access to news channels from every corner so you can stay up-to-date on what's happening in the world.
Country-wise content segregation
One of the sites that I frequent is wwiTV. On this site, there are news channels that are bifurcated on the basis of the country. So, if you're from India and you want to see what's happening in the United States, you can simply look for the country in the section and click on it. Once you click on it, you will have access to the major news network in the United States. There are 100+ channels from the United States alone which include ABC, Bloomberg, Fox Network, and NASA TV.
Uninterrupted streaming experience
Many of the free streaming websites are geared towards maximizing their revenue by enticing users to click on their ads. However, that is not the case with wwiTV as their well-placed ads that do not impede user experience. Sure, there is an advertisement placed right under the header section but it does not take away anything from the user experience.
Segregation based on popularity & rating
If you would like to find news channels from other countries, there are dedicated menus with ratings and popularity as well as a channel for each country. The most popular channels include Telesur TV (Venezuela), CGTN (China), Press TV (Iran), RT America (Russia), and DD News (India). Al Jazeera (Qatar), Fox News (USA), Aaj Tak (India), France 24 (France), and Derana (Sri Lanka) are also very popular.
Seamless Playback & Sharing options
wwiTV's video player is seamless and allows you to watch content without any interruption. Whenever you click on a particular channel, the player will automatically start playing that channel. I tried playing ABC News (Australia) and was able to access the live stream with a single click. Apart from watching the stream, you can also rate, comment, share, and learn more about the channel by clicking on the info tab.
Webcam streams
The webcam stream under the "content" bucket on wwiTV is a great way to watch some of the webcams pointed towards well-known locations. I especially enjoy watching the webcam pointing at Etna Volcano in Italy, Mount Fuji in Japan, Seoul's Skyline, Funchal, Madeira in Portugal, and Rhine Falls in Switzerland.
How to access wwiTV?
To access wwiTV, you can type in "world wide internet TV" in the search bar or click on the following link:
Before you access the website, I would like to recommend you use a VPN to protect yourself from hackers and advertisements.
Design
When it comes to user interfaces, wwiTV may not be the best option out there. Their website is very minimalistic with a no-nonsense design approach, which makes it difficult to find any areas that are appealing. Additionally, most free streaming services tend to focus more on functionality rather than the premium look and feel. This is evident in the homepage of wwiTV.com as well as the inner pages.
Hero Section
In the website's hero section, there are three vertical menus that are located under the header advertisement. The left menu has a search bar and the following categories: New TV Channels, News TV (English), News TV (other), Religious TV, and Webcam streams. Adjacent to it is the ?Most watched TV channels? list which has 30+ channel names. Lastly, on the right side is a responsive ad followed by another menu with ?Best rated TV Channels? which has 20 odd channel names.
Inner Pages
Though it seems at first that the website doesn't have an inner page, it does. It's just that the categories are arranged vertically and it can be difficult to see at first. The vertical menus are your gateway to the inner page. If you click on a title, you're taken to a new page which has a list of channels. Once you click any of the channels, you'll visit the streaming page with a short streaming window that's complemented with sharing options.
Content
If you enjoy watching the news in the morning, then wwiTV is a good option to consider. It offers a wide variety of content, including Fox channels, similar to liveNewsMag. Plus, there are over 200 channels available, including ABC (US), DD (India), Aaj Tak (India), BBC (UK), Fox (US) and Emmanuel TV (Nigeria).
Without a doubt, WiwiTV is a great resource for news enthusiasts all over the world. With its expansive channel lineup, you can explore news stories from all over the globe- not just from the U.S.
Desktop/Mobile experience
I tried to stream wwiTV on my iPhone 7, but it was unfortunately not a good experience. I try not to stream such free services from my phone because the streaming experience is always sour. There are too many ads popping around which are too difficult to control. With wwiTV, though that's not a problem, the entire interface is haphazard. It feels as if the developer failed to make the website responsive.
I found that the website's desktop layout was different from how it was on my phone. I was already well-versed with how the layout was set up and how I needed to find the content I was searching for. Thus, I found it easy to use all of the features and to watch webcam clips without any lapses.
Suggestions I have for wwiTV
I would like the developer to work on the interface and graphic of this website as well. If a website is attracting 20-25,000 users per day, I don't see why a developer can't spend money on a good theme. Yes, you might argue that it's free content and I shouldn't complain, but can you imagine if these websites actually had a great layout? Users would certainly flock in and wouldn't bounce off right after they landed on the page.
Conclusion
We love wwiTV for its LiveNewsMag feature. The Webcam feature is amazing, letting you watch live streaming of some of the world's most popular destinations. From Sydney Harbor in Australia to Buenos Aires City, from Confederation Bridge in Canada to Los Island and Greece, you can watch them right now!
