Shortly after Reuters announced its web TV programming iniative with YouTube, news emerged that AOL’s Huffington Post Media Group is developing an even more robust online video offering for its own website.

According to Forbes — and our own source confirms this — the Huffington Post is planning to launch a 24-hour live programming channel called the Huffington Post Streaming Network, or HPSN.

Think of it as the Huffington Post‘s cable news network, minus the cable subscription. Whether the content will be up to cable news quality remains to be seen.

The Huffington Post‘s existing editorial staff of 300+ will offer live commentary throughout the day, and the footage will later be cut into clips to be embedded throughout the site. Presumably we can expect to access the stream through the Huffington Post‘s apps as well. Viewers will also be privy to editorial meetings to see the newsgathering process at play, Forbes says.

At present, both the Wall Street Journal and Fox News offer live online programming in the style of cable news, but only during the workday.

Bloomberg also makes its live broadcast available for free on the iPad 24 hours per day, but most cable news operations only share short clips of their TV programming on the web.

Mario Ruiz, VP of communications at AOL, did not confirm any details about the video channel but said that further information would be announced at a press event in New York City on Feb. 2.
