As to the marketing….Well, I would ask the question, “How do you find good things on the web now?”. I ask this because any media that is purely IP based has to have some sort of viral effect to get attention. The whole point is that traditional media and traditional advertising does not work for many of us in this day and time.

I recently decided that I actually watch about 6 hours of television per week. I actually really want to watch about 4 hours of that. The rest of the time spent in front of the tube is trying to find something to watch. However I still pay $60/month for my satellite.

If I could get the shows I want a la carte then I could do away with my satellite and my Tivo.

Marketing is actually one of the most interesting parts of this whole thing – how cool would it be to have a “Fark” that just posted snarky comments with links to available content. And obviously there would be the artists own sites, blogs, even third party directories and search engines. Even traditional advertising I guess.

And the baba wawwa special is a perfect example – nobody wants to see that shit – people only watch it ‘cauze the networks foist it upon us.

but I do see where you are coming from, but how would the whole marketing structure work? where would shows advertise?

How would you know what was coming on?

and who in their right mind would pay to watch a Barbara Walters Special?
