Why, check this: www.BitMeTV.org Largest TV piracy community on the internet today, this site is torrenting thousands of series, hundreds of episodes daily including numerous ABC,CBS,CC,Cartoon Network, Fox... It has irc support channel on irc.bitmetv.org, in channel bitmetv.help you can often find some of the people that run the site under pseudonims of Ibslice, SystemsGuy and Catfood. Because it is running from the law, it is invite only. Shed the light on cockroaches and help us fight the piracy.

It's also a really interesting way to introduce a format change - wonder if other stations will go this route. All of that being said - I'm also seeing more and more radio stations investing in online video - we need to be looking in our rear view mirrors - newspapers and radio stations are quickly catching us.
