Micro Television Networks

by

So what is it? It’s a brand new concept, networks are trying to break out of traditional TV centric approach and embracing more of a digital / internet kind of approach. They goal is to create a mash up of community features with traditional TV show style experience.

A new company out there, called Next New Networks is making it happen. They have already launched 9 channels, and promising to bring that number up to 30 soon.

I think this is a great idea, but I do worry about the Console trouble. With so many sources of content, how will we even remember which “micro network” did I visit this week already and which I am yet to check out.

The only answer, of course, is RSS Aggregators. I already added a tag to my Google Reader (and my Bloglines reader), which marks all shows RSS feeds. If only I had time to actually watch all those 200 shows that have accumulated thus far. Of course, it’s the ultimate kind of PVR, unlimited space and keeps shows available for years, waiting for you to come and watch whenever you ready (with pause and rewind, of course).

Who would have thought just a year ago that we would end up watching TV show via our RSS aggregator!
