I thought its launch was delayed at least a week, but it looks like you’re right — my apologies. My confusion was down to the fact that I chose to wait and review “With the Angels” individually for some reason, and thus it wasn’t included in my initial review of the launch.

To clarify, WtA was part of the initial StrikeTV launch, and was included in the first 10 shows that premiered on October 28th. Thanks!

Mary Feuer

No clue why it wasn’t featured.

Because it went far beyond 2 episodes in it’s first season. And I’m also curious as to why it wasn’t featured at this event, since it was one of the few Streamy-nominated Strike.tv shows.

I want to be clear that KoldCast was very generous in that they picked up the entire negative cost of the show last year. Allowing us to repay our investment in the show.

They are supportive of their content providers and responsive to our needs.

Season one resides at KoldCast proudly.

I also think it is a very poor attitude on behalf of this blogger to ridicule people (like Strike.tv) who are willing to say they don’t have all the answers but are working on new ideas to figure things out. I personally think the Q&A panel discussions with the audience were extremely informative and inspiring.. and I also think that their plan to distribute their content through local affiliate television and radio stations is an extremely creative and promising idea to create a viable relationship between advertisers and their markets. I believe this blogger called it “unconventional”… which would be the one thing I agree with her about in her whole posting. It is this kind of unconventional thinking that will help develop the next generation of New Media business.

Bravo Peter and Strike.tv

Something I wish I had been able to fit into this piece was an acknowledgment of how very clear the Strike team’s passion for the space was during the event. It’s definitely something to admire, and the fact that the organization has sustained this long despite funding is proof alone of your commitment. I’ve been rooting for Strike since its launch; I just want it to step up and take more risks, which is the only way this experiment is going to work.

Grrr.

And ” deals that distribute our shows to Youtube, Koldcast, and a slew of others but those deals haven’t generated much of anything but paperwork and lots of time….Without the critical mass audience – without millions of dollars in marketing, it’s very difficult for people know we’re out there. That’s why our partnerships with radio and TV sydication is crucial to our future success. Maybe that will be the key to profitability, maybe it won’t.”

DITTO.
