This is a business model that I would like to see emerge:
8Bit Joystick.com: Bit Torrent Can Save your Relationship and Internet Based TV Distribution Would Be Super Cool
I guess I hope that the TV networks would realize that the Internet could be a great opportunity to distribute their content and make more money off advertising. What if after a show was aired the TV networks would make an Internet version. This would be an MPEG 4 or Quicktime file but with the same commercials that aired on the broadcast version they could sell advertising to more high tech clients such as Internet and computer companies. I am sure that the nerd consumer could be targeted like this. Then they could distribute them via Bittorrent or over the web. They could either sell it on a per show basis or a subscription of say ten bucks a month for all their shows or they could just use the advertising revenue from the sponsors to pay for it.
If you are a TV exec, and you read this blog, push for this. It’s a great idea.
