well friend I theorize that one reason why advertisers are shunning TV for the Internet is that online ads let them track something!

I think you also have to question whether or not traditional media outlets are the best owners / managers of new media technologies. What I would like to see is what an internet TV startup and a wealthy venture capitalist could do together.

Guys thanks for the comments. Eli – time will tell. The trend of Internet TV is a fact of life, and I am not certain that the guys from the networks will rule this market.

I think the big difference that you’ve failed to remember is that while yes, some startups and mobile technology companies fail, some do succeed. Has there been an Internet TV show that has succeeded?

If all we see are the failures and their aren’t any successes, the deep pocketed TV networks aren’t going to fork over $5M per show anymore.

No one ever asked if traditional television was dead when a show got cancelled. Show cancellations are a simple fact of the medium. Audiences are fickle, the stock market is depressing, and people are expecting more from web TV than the typical chroma key host(ess) or street interview format.

Also, keep in mind that there are numerous variables involved in any show’s cancellation:

* Did the program run its course?
* Were the creators (or distributor) burned out?
* Did the subject matter dry up?
* Did someone get a better deal elsewhere?
* Were there politics involved?

One example isn’t enough to judge an entire medium by, but if there’s a rash of well-produced shows getting expunged, then we can say there’s a trend.

Actually, it’s the exact OPPOSITE indication. Wallstrip. Got. Bought. …. Period.

That’s an indication that well-done internet video CAN be recognized for its quality. If it would have folded without doing anything, THEN someone could say that the investment was wasted, yadda yadda. The fact of the matter is that they did what startups all over the place are trying to do… build a product, get recognition and sell it.

According to The New York Times, CBS is supposedly planning to repurpose the group for their Bnet property, so we’ll see what happens with that.

Either way, once the sale is made, the content creator’s job is successfully done… Assuming that a sale was their goal to begin with.
