Are People Really Watching Hulu? Distribution is a Dirty Little Business For Life
All I know about Hulu is that is an online TV site that Alec Baldwin did a commercial for I saw. The only cause I kept watching was because his short role in Glengarry Glen Ross was one hell of an performing performance. What sparked this post was an article I read in The Los Angeles Times business section with the headline – How many people are in truth watching Hulu?
Like many independent entertainment producers that are not backed by studios and corporations I turn to the Internet to self-promote slash Of Americana Films releases. I took notice when Keith Richman, CEO of Break.com, expressed frustration that his video site, “was dramatically underrepresented and misrepresented” by online audience measuring systems.
After reading this excellent article by Times reporter Dawn C. Chmielewski I started think of how what is happening with media giants in terms of distributing entertainment on online live TV to viewers relates to the indie world. I directly tossed out the advertisement dollars at stake because at the true independent level there is not advert gross being divided with producers, unless you consider Google AdSense.
Where my focus went was to the debate on the number of viewers that were really being reached online. Because underneath that argumentation that is important to companies that stream content for free solely to make money from advertisers there is an independent production side to the story.
Back to the debate on the number of real online viewers for a site, are companies dependent on advertising revenue and not sales of content over stating the gainful demand for online content? Or is their take on things not making a difference between online viewers that buy content or watch content for free?
There is also a successful VOD run with the America’s Wildest bachelor-at-arms Parties reality series and partiality Striptease Private Shows through a go with I will not mention. The feature films Consignment and In With Thieves that I wrote, coproduced, and directed are with distributors. Honestly, I do not get any information on how digital sales online are personnel casualty. The filmmaker is everlastingly last to know.
It is needless to say that you need to be online to touch on to the satellites before you can watch satellite internet TV on PC. The broadband connection with at to the lowest degree a 512 Kbytes connection is highly recommended. This would enhance the quality and speed of transmission.
