Rich Media: Video Broadcasting on the web
Interesting Video!
Before the show even started, the first thing I noticed was the advertising. It is absolutely brilliant to advertise prior to the show that is being broadcast, because that is where the attention on the audience is. I have to admit that the commercials that come in the middle of the program are kind of annoying. But think of it this way...they are not as many as the actual commercials on T.V.
Streaming sites like Hulu, CBS, ABC, and others have proven that savvy audiences are turning to their computers for entertainment, and in a way that's profitable.I think that even though the shows are available at free cost to the end user, all of the advertisement would make up for any costs associated with video broadcasting on the web. If anything, it is extra money for the TV Station !!! So basically in simple terms, cable companies are losing here !

Does seem like an end run around cable companies as NBC and NewsCorp are part owners of Hulu.
