Indie (as in no studio) content has not exactly taken off that well in too many channels – music and books are good examples. Without the marketing (or ad sales) there is not much of a way to learn about things…

I think it will be tough for things like Akimbo to really become big deals. Look at HDNet as well… it’s actually carried by cable and satellite, but it’s an also ran for now. They have some good sports but basically B (or old) movies. I can’t imagine wanting to pay extra for it (had it free for a month) since there is not much good stuff to get me (or my family) to watch.
