Hey guys — Katy from StoryBridge here.. Thanks for the article! How’d you find out about us so soon? We just launched last week and will be changing quite a bit in the next few months.

Thanks for the support Cathy! As for a business model, we’re looking to split the difference between commercial and public tv. I know how much our affiliate charged for sponsorship of socially-valuable (cause marketing) campaigns so I think there’s interest in the business community. I’ll let you know in a few months.

Do any of you know of journalists who’d like to showcase their work on StoryBridge? We’ve had some interest and are thinking of creating a free platform for video storytellers to share and comment on work. Thoughts?

Why shop it to PBS? Storybridge has the potential to be its own channel…provided the business model pans out. I’m hoping it does – what a great idea, and run by a great guy – Jay Olsen. I had the pleasure of working with him many moons ago. Cathy

Oh, man, Allen’s right, the way the video’s set up on the site is fantastic, *extremely* appealing.

Why not shop this to WPT, the local public broadcaster?

The layout and video player on that site is terrific. I hope they succeed. More power to them for having the balls to try something like this.
