Howard Sherpe of Vernon Telephone Cooperative tells how local content on local TV is a great marketing tool.

It's the most popular channel out of over 100. Howard provides background on how they're able to fill a big part of the day with special programing, provides examples of what they have, and what the #1 program is.

Nostalgic after all these years

Jul 1

Posted by Roger in VBlogs by Roger, ViodiTV | 1 Comment


Is it possible to be nostalgic, for the past, in only three years? Perhaps… when those three years were a bit rapid, radical, and rewarding. The videos below, from Viodi View in 2006, reminded me just how much the video world has changed over the past three years. I became nostalgic.

Above is a sample of how Ken and I were posting ViodiTV videos back in 2006. YouTube had been around for about a year, and would be acquired by Google later that year. Ken and I had been posting video's since 2005, and more so since March of 2006 with the Content Pavilion at TelecomNEXT, and we were understanding the benefits and pitfalls of streaming video. It was great to have control over our videos, but streaming and storage were expensive, and sites like YouTube, Revver, BlipTV, and Brightcove were better connected to the CDN's (Content Distribution Networks) than our hosting services, so it was tough to say no to free bandwidth and storage with better streaming – thus the story begins as we progressed from 320×240 low bitrate video to HD video in less than 3 years.

So yes, I am notalgic today as I stumbled into these "old" video's. I was looking back to create a video to highlight the scope and depth of what we have done with ViodiTV. Instead I realized how amazing the distribution and availability of video has progressed in 3 short years. Today  I'm more concerned about free-riding aggregators than streaming video, and I'm nostalgic for a time past by… in a very short time.

This barely touches the surface of what's to come in the next 3 years, so I'm excited to think what we'll be doing then. By the way, check our updated Product Buzz for a fuller list of educational and promotional video's we produced over the past few years.
