PA says that the service will be competitively priced and give broadcasters high-quality video without the usual costs.
It previously offered video as edited clips mainly aimed at the digital market, but this is the first time it has offered video as a filed-based wire, read for customers to incorporate in to their own stories.
Regional newspapers are being offered the video wire for free on a trial basis, in a bid to help those with ambitions to become multi-platform businesses.
The Press Association is also offering courses in video editing to help newspapers maximise the value of the service.
Tony Watson, managing director of the Press Association, said: "By adding a UK-wide video service to our text and photos, we firmly establish the Press Association as the news agency for Digital Britain."
The service starts on May 5.
