A free internet TV platform supported by advertising, Babelgum Beta, combines the full-screen video quality of traditional television with the interactive capabilities of the internet, offering professionally produced programming on-demand to a global audience with broadband access (a minimum of 450kbit/sec). As the name suggests, Babelgum's goal is to act as an international 'glue', bringing a huge range of content to a global audience - like a modern-day Tower of Babel. The bubble logo is a fun visual pun on the company name, but also reflects Babelgum's commitment to a green, global future.

Each Passion has a dedicated publisher who will select the best content and stimulate the debate. In addition, to the 3 Passions, videos are arranged into 9 theme-related Channels such as Film, Nature, Comedy, Travel, Sport, just to name a few.
