Televising on Joost

Okay, do a google search for Joost. I'll wait.

Okay: So many people in AIC record their shows that I think, if we all collectively pooled our resources, we could actually operate an entire channel. If we paired up with other metro arease, we could almost certainly create an entire Improv channel.

I think this is important enough I'm going to do something I've never done - attend an AIC meeting - to talk to you guys about it. This is feasible, profitable, and cool.

You had me at "profitable." But how?

1) Joost sells advertising to companies - 1 minute for every 29 minutes of air, I believe.

2) That money is split between network owner and content owner.

3) All we have to do is keep putting on the shows we've been putting on, we just have to be more diligent about recording them.

4) Increased exposure from Joost will lead to more asses in seats at the theatre.

I'm dubious, but intrigued.
We should all discuss this (and other opportunities like this) more.
