And for a bunch of good reasons. The effort(cost) of finding what you “might” want to see on youtube is already far too great. And adSense in reality is far too low on CPM compared to broadcast media advertising. That’s why this model costs Google hundreds of millions per year instead of generating revenue. Media companies can’t afford that.

Broadband TV and interactive TV from our portable devices and in our homes is less than five years away. Hang out and stay tuned for this. Someone who now owns a popular or soon to be well known .tv domain will one day in 10 years be a well known broadcast channel.

I’ll bid up to $2 for this channel this month, or say $35 for this block of channels for the next 12 months.

I am sick of paying for stuff I never use. Let the chips fall where they may. I could care less that 45 channels are music only. I could care less about the 700 Club channel and the Polish language channel and dozens more.

Let me pay for what I want, not what you think I should.

This is exactly what is already happening. Check out YouTube yesterday – they let a channel called “FailBlog” take over their Spotlight – AKA the home page — where they spotlighted a few of their videos and then launched a few new videos. Those videos, including Behind the scenes, Name Fail, Bass Swing, etc, all now have nearly 500k views in two days. http://www.youtube.com/user/failblog

I’ve spent a fair bit of the summer trying to get better at YouTube for Revision3. I’m not close to where some of the best are – but I see YouTube as of extreme strategic value for Revision3.

For most of the reasons you outline – and others too.

I’m assuming HDNet is doing the same thing – let’s connect up our channels by favoriting, friending, subscribing and commenting on each other’s videos!

Let the networks have a set schedule they choose, essentially what it is now, but then offer the rest of their shows on-demand.

For example you can just have finished watching House on Fox, and perhaps American Idol is scheduled next. If you don’t want to watch that you can flip through whichever on-demand options Fox has, and watch Family Guy or something else.

Fox can perhaps get feedback on people’s preferences to see which shows people watch on-demand often, and incorporate those into the regular lineup. Fox can also see which shows people are tuning out as well. The viewer gets more choices, Fox gets feedback to provide better programming and offer a better product.

The only thing I don’t know is if the technology is there to make it feasible. And also how will cable/satellite distributors react since they offer their own On-demand programming.

this is off topic, but why don’t you throw a ton of money at the NFL (use pennies and nickels) and buy the rights to show every NFL game ever played “on demand” and in HD. Figure $4.95 a game and no one would care that they were paying any other HD channels.
