Earlier today1 I was thinking about having a tv channel that worked only by podcast. Instead of a around the clock emission, it would only produce like 6 hours per day (which I find enough, even for those boring days). One could see anything whenever they like.
This upset me a lot when I was a kid and couldn’t watch the shows I wanted because I had school or other appointments2. But since broadband, I almost never watch TV. Just download the shows I want from my favorite bay and make my own schedule.
The problem is that I only find popular movies and shows. I wanted a short version of national news, something different to watch. And I want it in podcasts, so I can set a simple system for my parents, without the need for searching the torrent (although it could use bit torrent by RSS underneath).
I believe this is a really great idea, and someone could invest until it has a large audience, and then just add small ads to monetize it. I don’t mind having small ads for watching TV whenever I want, and I bet a lot of people wouldn’t too.
Today I found out about ValleyPeaks via Brea Grant. It’s a homebrew show that resembles The O.C.. and Desperate Housewives with a bit of satire. It is hosted in Vimeo for high definition and features really hot girls. I’m sold :)
1 Yeah, I woke up very earlier today. I heard we were moving places this weekend. But without internet in the new house, I doubt I will be motivated to pack stuff and move heavy furniture around.
2 Turns out that I was pretty busy when I was a kid. Seriously! That why kids like me woke up at 6.pm in the weekends, even before TV emission started.
