WebCast Frequently Asked Questions


What is a WebCast?

A WebCast is an opportunity to share your vision with a select and difficult to reach, worldwide audience of decision makers who are developing EBPP, ESP, and multichannel e-business strategies. It is a special opportunity to be seen in the same context with Michael Killen, the head of Killen & Associates, a leading market research company that is helping financial service companies, telcos, and utilities develop a competitive advantage, generate e-commerce and reduce costs. We digitize and broadcast an interview with an executive of your company from our website http://www.killen.com/tv, which is available for replay anytime, anywhere for up to six months.

  • Subscribers to The Killen Alert™

Additionally, Killen & Associates’ WebCast interviews are seen on The Killen Report, which is broadcast over four local cable channels in Silicon Valley.

Do I have to pay to watch a WebCast?

Do I need to buy QuickTime to watch a WebCast?

No, the basic QuickTime set up is all you need to view a WebCast. You may download the current version of QuickTime for free from Apple, and we provide you with a direct link if your system needs to upgrade. You do not need to purchase QuickTime Pro. QuickTime Pro offers more capabilities than are necessary to view our WebCasts.

What do I need to know about QuickTime?

  • All Killen & Associates WebCasts are presented in QuickTime
  • QuickTime works with most file formats and is compatible with a Mac or PC
  • You have the control — play, pause, stop, volume, time display

We recommend downloading the stand-alone QuickTime installer if you have a fast Internet connection (over 56K). If you choose Minimum Install, you will still be able to watch our WebCasts. If you need more than Minimum Install later on, the installer will automatically download what you need and notify you of version updates.
