VoIP pioneer Jeff Pulver, host of online tech show PulverTV, announced today the launch of PulverTV, which he is calling “The First 100% “Indie Internet TV” Channel.”
The staff at PulverTV are creating 12-14 hours/week of original programming. In addition, they’ve enlisted several dozen producers of independently created Internet TV to include in the daily program schedule. Their goal is to provide a space for independent video content creators to showcase their work and “get their shows discovered,” and to provide viewers with round-the-clock interesting fare.
Pulver, co founder of VoIP telco Vonage, the publisher of VON magazine, and organizer of Voices on the Net (VON) conferences, says, “I first got the idea to turn pulverTV into a 24/7 operation while appreciating the possibilities of personal broadband broadcasting and thinking about ‘What would [cable mogul] Ted Turner do today if he was just started out in television?’ I started thinking about pushing the limits on the practical and possible.”
Pulver has a hefty task ahead of him. As downloadable and streaming-on-demand video offerings proliferate online, a 24/7 Internet TV station will have lots of competition for viewers’ attention.
