Dear Alliancees,- Online Community Television
We've received news of Microsofts plans to develop and commission original programming for broadcast on their service from early next year which will be dispatched digitally through a new form of video compression that they're developing. A UK seminar encouraging independent producers is reported to be seriously over attended with information to be made available on the web for those unable to attend.
It occurs to me that any commercial service in broadcasting almost always has a place in its schedules for public service or community programming and wondered if anyone across the Alliance server had any first hand experiences of online production at all which they would be willing to reflect on.- Is it a programme or not?
Unrelated but not that unrelated - the UK's Independent Television Commission regulator is reported this week to have allowed an online adult channel to broadcast material to members online in what is seen as a test case to establish the ITC's ability to control the internet here in the UK - though purely in terms of broadcasting and our Broadcasting Act.
Apparently, it seems that the quality of their downloads was so poor as to create the question of whether the programmes are indeed television as we know it and as they are perceived in statute here in the UK. Given recent discussions about quality thresholds on PEG's I wondered if any of you had personal or corporate experiences of this kind of view, regardless of the material being broadcast and how community video could be played down the internet?
Regards all,
