[...] TidalTV secures $15M. TidalTV, a new broadband video startup specializing in professionally produced content, has secured a large angel round of funding led by New Enterprise Associates and Valhalla Partners, the company announced on Tuesday. TidalTV hopes to produce “the best in professionally produced, branded programming.” The service will be web-based but also controlled by a remote. TidalTV is saying it is more similar to Hulu than Joost. But since it’s using the language of traditional linear channels, instead of on-demand, it seems more like Zattoo in Europe. Once we talk to TidalTV hopefully we can sort that out. Another player in the professionally-produced online video arena is Deca but Deca works with several other sites to produce content rather than having its own main hub, which TidalTV will have. The larger sites such as YouTube rely on user-generated content over professionally-produced originals. Source:VentureBeat. Read more at Mashable!, NewTeeVee [...]
