There is likely to be more truth than fiction to the Google rumours, actually.

My company, Real Fresh TV, has been in talks with YouTube and a number of online publishers including Bebo and Brightcove regarding distributing T-Mobile UK’s branded late night music TV show, Transmission with T-Mobile online and on multiple digital platforms.

Acts and celebrities featured on Transmission with T-Mobile include Scissor Sisters, Queens of the Stone Age, Yoko Ono and Samuel L. Jackson and more.

Whilst Transmission with T-Mobile is in a different league to mega TV hits like the Pop Idol/American Idol franchise, the ‘Google-Fuller’ rumours indicate that YouTube is quietly building up its catalogue of professional content.

if i had to take a bet, it would NBC that is most likely to make a move in the WBTV stuff. I think they need the content, especially if this strike lingers on for too long.

I think in many ways the strike has been the “tipping point” for the web content. back in the mid-1990s when we started writing for the web, it was the Stephen Glass incident that turned web into a legit news media.

We are going to see this happen with Web TV. Anything good is good – regardless of where it comes from.

Those are kind of “ho-hum” video rumors. I think better video rumors would be something like:

Online Video Site Revver signs advertising deals with TBWAChiatDay, Grey advertising and J Walter Thompson.

Apple opens pay-per-view section of iTunes Store to independent producers.

Advertisers pay same CPM for online video shows as they pay for Cable Television Shows.
