Ethan Zuckerman writes compellingly about Al Jazeera English. Why can’t my public TV station offer it for a few hours a week on multicast? My PBS station already offers BBC World News. Slap an hour of BBC World News next to an hour of Al Jazeera, or (as the PBS manager says) next to an hour of TV produced for external consumption by our own Broadcasting Board of Governors. Put fixed cameras in public radio studios and offer up talk shows and other programs on TV. A few hundred thousand people watch Imus on TV every day. Follow the TPT or CET models and find partners who will help you create content. I still really like the idea of giving over a small portion of digital bandwidth to retransmit public radio stations. Your channel becomes a portal to a wealth of public media content, whether audio or video. (btw, at present, can you do this? Public radio network number one: no; public radio network number two: maybe; public radio network number three: yes. Streaming rights? Don’t even ask.) Are three cameras always better than one? No. C-SPAN has shown us that an event recorded with one camera, can result in compelling content for those who are compelled to view it. I watch Merlin Mann’s “The Merlin Show” religiously. It’s shot with one camera that never moves. Is it an amateur video podcast? No, it’s well produced and soon it will be available in 720p. Does it need a second camera? No. Why? Because the production doesn’t require it, AND it’s great content. [...] [...] What other content is there? Ethan Zuckerman writes compellingly about Al Jazeera English.

We've talked here (talk is cheap) about using some of our DTV spectrum for a Northwest Public Radio surround sound channel on our two television stations with album covers or a regional Flickr feed as "video." Last I checked over a year ago, there were over 2,000 music DVDs in surround (none of them in our inventory). PSIP will support it and many of the people buying large screen televisions have home theater systems, available for as little as $350 at Costco. However, the crush of other projects and the expanding costs (and this was before the current copyright billing debacle) caused us to put it on the back burner. This seems very doable, so let's see you Iowans get'erdone. But be sure it's just locally recorded music. --Dennis Thanks for the link to my post.
