(Mileage varies)” but how exactly? Any details on that front?”  Mike Arrington responded, “My guess is that Podango will take some grief over that quote.”  So, in anticipation of that grief, I thought I would post and help clear up questions related to “that quote.”  There are a few things to understand about the model that will help this become more clear:      [...] [...] TechCrunch posted about Podango this a.m.  The post brought out some really good and insightful questions and conconcerns. In particular, in response to this comment by Startups.in/India “Well, it does say “$25k to 250k per year or more.

I do see value to the channel concept itself -- but I don't think this is what it will ultimately look like. I think it's far more likely that companies and organizations will begin to program their own channels, populating them with content their important audiences find interesting. So, for example, X Community Hospital will produce content (or pay to have content produced) for an X Community Health Channel. Bob's Sporting Goods Inc. will produce content (or pay to have content produced) for a Youth Sports Channel. I work for what would be considered an "old media" company. We're getting a lot of requests from clients who used to think only about advertising in 30-second chunks. Now they're asking us to produce full-fledged programs for their most important audiences. They see the value in engaging their audience with more extensive programming than a typical commercial. We see value in producing those programs for narrow audiences, instead of producing only "lowest-common-denominator" programming with broad reach.

Today they got a great writeup on Mike Arrington’s TechCruch blog.
