Much energy has been expended discussing how, when and why mainstream video providers should release their content online. In the meantime, many video providers are already reaching online audiences with video you simply can't find on mainstream television networks today. These providers exploit broadband to deliver video content to computers, smartphones/tablets and increasingly to connected TVs. They are also becoming adept at widespread online syndication of their video, reaching new audiences wherever they can be found. While many mainstream providers talk about multi-screen delivery and new online distribution models, many independents are actually living it.

In this session, join Will Richmond, editor and publisher of VideoNuze and Colin Dixon, TDG’s Senior Partner, Advisory as they dig into the issues with industry experts Jim Louderback, CEO of Revision3, a cutting-edge television network for the Internet Generation and Richard Bloom, SVP of Business Development at 5min, a leading syndication platform for broadband instructional, knowledge and lifestyle videos. They will look at all sides of the debate including issues such as:

• The business opportunity broadband delivery has created for independent video providers

• The key ingredients for achieving online video syndication success

• The effectiveness of online video advertising and subscriptions

• How capable today’s Internet technology is for independent online video delivery

• What challenges and competitive factors lie ahead

There will also be plenty of time for audience Q&A.

This is the fourth in a series of six webinars sponsored exclusively by ActiveVideo Networks and is complimentary for industry professionals.
