and speaking of ‘on the YT’

it’s worth noting that Lin today announced some sort of plan to outfit their 29 stations. i’d explain further, but that’s LR’s job.

‘expand their horizons online’

they have some good people to do it too (and not just in mgmt.)

i mentioned the girls (i should say ladies, but they always refer to their viewers as ‘guys’, so we’re even) @ thepittsburghchannel. they do a daily web-only that is not typical of tv. THAT will be what drive this whole thing, for if all you do is repurp your tv content i wish you good luck.

not an ha property, but the ‘guys’ at theindychannel are doing a web-only that closes something like monty python.

expand those horizons… ‘beyond your broadcast boundries’, as they say.

This also comes on the heels of H-A’s revenue share deal with YouTube to post local TV news content on the YT. Sounds like Hearst-Argyle is making some solid moves to expand their horizons online.

errrrr,

anyone else see the irony of this winding up right above the previous post?

of course, i wish ib/wxii/pluck nothing but success, but brittney’s experience is certainly not the exception when it comes to wide open comment sections.

LR, you know not how lucky you are.
