Some more recent trends in user-generated content moving onto TV (see BBC’s decision to pay for some user-gen content, below):
— The online video sharing site Revver has launched in the UK on FameTV, part of Sky Digital Network. FameTV will screen Revver videos and pick candidates Pop Idol style. Some more details on Revver blog here.
— Another UK online TV company YourKindaTV is to launch its “viewer controlled” community news shows on Sky…The channel has signed a deal to broadcast its own branded micro-channel on Sky Digital channel 181 through Information TV, which offers low budget broadcast slots to specialist channels. The half-hour show will broadcast at 9.30pm on Saturday and Sunday nights from this weekend. The broadcast TV slot will be used almost as an advert for the website.
— This is the bit in reverse, where user–gen online TV show goes onto mobiles: Trouble, Flextech’s youth entertainment channel, has signed a deal with mobile content provider Pitch to make its “My TV: Homegrown” show available to users through a series of mobisodes. The show is Trouble’s first fully user-generated TV show and is based entirely on content submitted to its website.
