The Auction Network provides evergreen, live auction and interactive programming 24/7 via an Internet-delivered television channel that includes both a full-time, real-time feed of set-schedule programming as well as additional content on demand. Travel with us across and the United States and around the world as we uncover the exciting and unexpected world of auctions - the business, the people, the events.
The Auction Network has three video environments available for viewers: on demand, live and drop down.
ON DEMAND
With Auction Network On Demand, you are in control. Browse through a collection of auction-related programs using the on demand navigator, including past live auctions, behind the scenes programs, and more. Select your favorite. And watch.
LIVE
Live auctions bring the world of auctions into your living room. Auction Network brings you front row seats at the world's finest and most fun auctions. Not only will you be able to bid on exclusive auction merchandise without leaving home via state of the art interactive bidding technology but live programming will take you behind the scenes with interviews of collectors, how they came to own items and why they are selling. Appraisers and museum specialists will provide additional information on the authenticity of items and their values. Auction Network will also take you on road trips to locations surrounding the auction so you get to know more about the countries and cities where the auctions take place. Simultaneous with the live event, Auction Network bidding technology makes it easy to view items, place bids, and win, even if the auction is on the other side of the world. You're in it, just like the people who are there in the room.
BID
Auction Network members (membership is simple and free) enjoy the ability to bid live and in real time for items featured in our live broadcast auction events, competing head-to-head against the live auction attendees.
ON LOCATION
Auction Network fanatics will learn of times, dates, locations and auction items of interest to them allowing them to show up for the auction in person, obtain a bid card and raise their hand to compete to buy the items of their choice. Their bids are captured by the traditional ringman on location and relayed to the auctioneer as he chants.
ONLINE
Simultaneous with the live auction, there is interactive bidding so that virtual auction attendees can compete from around the United States or around the globe. Those interactive bids are fielded by online ringmen who relay the bid to the auctioneer in real time without slowing the overall auction.
VIA SET-TOP BOX
In the near future, Auction Network will enable bidding via cable and satellite set-top converters, allowing additional means of remote bidding.
BY MOBILE DEVICE
New technology allows single button touch bidding that enables a viewer to dial a number, register his/her pin number and using a single key raise the bid on his own behalf. If they are the high bidder, the voice activated system awards them the bid and tells them to press the same button to acknowledge acceptance of that bid and item.
