...(chuckle) There wasn't really a topic, Linda.<br /><br />Concerning your idea, I think the existing mechanisms at YouTube would already support such a channel, though without an enhancement to the basic service, reserving access to paying customers would be tricky. (Also, Google would want a piece of the action, which strikes me as only fair, given that the channel would be using their servers.) But providing entertainment alongside news and op-ed is a separate problem, and might not be easy. There are independent makers of video entertainment out there who'd love to get in on the action...for compensation. Whether there are enough <i>good</i> ones, we’d have to find out the hard way.<br /><br />Cable TV is at a crisis point, but I wouldn’t count the cable companies out. They’re as aware of the problems involved in selling bundled offerings as we are. I have no doubt they’re working on a strategy for altering course. Of course, strong competition from viable alternatives would be a good thing regardless.<br />Francis W.

It occurred to me - there is a market for subscribable videocasts from bloggers on the Right and Center. I'm thinking of a channel that allowed you to watch anyone you wanted, for as many of the videocasts as you wanted. Could be a mix of evergreens and timely types.<br /><br />Have you ever looked into something like this? A person would have to offer many different v-bloggers, and work out some sort of mechanism to track which episode was watched.<br /><br />By bundling multiple vloggers into a single channel, it would make it simpler for noobs to cut the cable cord, and give them an alternative to FoxNews and others.<br />Linda Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15024201252345608291noreply@blogger.com
