Defense Video & Imagery Distribution System (DVIDS), the leading provider of U.S. military imagery and the connection between media around the world and service members, announced August 18, 2010, they are reaching out to an ever-growing audience through their partnership with iTunes. Search for DVIDS on iTunes to watch and download the best stories of the week direct from the men and women serving at home and overseas.

“DVIDS becoming a featured partner with iTunes allows us to have a branded channel and gives us the opportunity to advertise new and exciting podcasts on the iTunes store,” said Jon Micheletto, VOD Executive Producer for DVIDS. “By working with Apple, units and deployed service members now have a prominent avenue in which they can submit and share their stories from the frontlines with the world.”

In addition to numerous weekly podcasts, subscribers will have access to a wide variety of newscasts and stories from all branches of the military; as well as DVIDS’ monthly program, “In The Fight” which features military operations, humanitarian missions and greetings.

Since 2004, DVIDS has provided world media with reliable access to all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces and coalition partners serving overseas, helping fulfill the military’s obligation to provide maximum disclosure of information with minimum delay.

Through a network of portable Ku-band satellite transmitters located with deployed units, and a distribution hub in Atlanta, Georgia, DVIDS makes available real-time broadcast-quality video, still images and print products, as well as immediate interview opportunities with service members, commanders and subject matter experts.
