Spacevidcast
OK
A few days ago I posted some rather astonishing video from NASA accompanied by some pretty lame narration. Engineers. I said there was enormous potential here for someone with an entrepreneurial bent. The next day I got an email from Carianne and Benjamin Higgenbotham who created, host and produce Spacevidcast, a weekly webcast all about.. well, space.
As you can see for yoursef, it appears that they do this from their living room. And, if you watch, you can see that they’re having a good time. OK, you say. Engineering geeks living the dream…..
Well, maybe more than that. The New York Times reported yesterday that Youtube, which is owned by Google, is in talks to buy Next New Networks, a web video production company. Next New is in the business of creating video content for the web. So maybe Carianne and Benjamin are onto something.
And if they are (and I think they probably are), there are literally hundreds of other areas of interest ripe for the picking – from hip hop music to fishing (Hammy?) to motorcyles and many more. We’re only at day one of this, but Google’s move is really interesting, and something we’re going to keep an eye on.

Hi Michael, my name is Dean, and we spoke a while back. You gave
me some good advice…But I would have only remembered to try it
since I came across this one. You gave me some great advice. Before I
came back across this email, I was chasing advertisers, to advertise
during my cable show ‘Charities’, so that I could get paid. That method
still hasn’t panned out. I was wondering if I should try it a different way’
and luckily I came across this. You confirmed that I should get a website
possibly put one of my tv shows on it, put it on a focused area on facebook
and maybe they will come to me..here is a link to my show if you get a chance.
I want to take over most of my areas leased access channel, but the trouble
has always been the sponsors. so I should start my own production company
and advertise under that ? Do I need to protect my idea first ? Here is my
show, let me know what you think … https://vimeo.com/339644212

how would i start my own channel for cable tv?
Michael Rosenblum January 19, 2012
The idea of starting a cable channel is already anachronistic. Better to launch a website with video that could migrate to a channel.

i mentioned the story elsewhare about your overseas friend who bought that satellite company then found no one was interested in his dishes until he signed an exclusive for football.
this is what google tv might have to do to push up sales of its units.
next new might be part of that.
