For all the people blaming YouTube and MySpace and other online video sites for the beating of Victoria Lindsay, let me remind you where the real exploitative douchebags are: offline video, aka TV. One of Dr. Phil’s producers just bailed out one of Ms. Lindsay’s attackers, Mercades Nichols, for an exclusive interview.

VH1’s The Pickup Artist, a reality show where dating coach Erik Von Markovik aka “Mystery” trains a bunch of frustrated chumps to be successful with women, faced criticism in its first season for taking on Hollywood-type contestants who weren’t such chumps to begin with. Some of them were out-of-work actors and comedians; the runner-up was […]

CBS long ago proved that superdistributing their shows online helped their offline views. Turns out it helps their own online views, too.
ABC.com served the most videos in December, followed by CBS, NBC, and FOX. But CBS kept viewers around the longest:

We’ve long suspected that the TV writers’ strike will drive people to online video. Now we have the numbers to back it up.
In the absence of new programming the Internet is an entertainment alternative many will consider. In fact, two-fifths of respondents (39.6%) expect to use the Internet more for entertainment purposes if their favorite […]
Not only is HBO late to the online video game, they still don’t know the game is on. Chris Albrecht is baffled by their new HBO on Broadband service.
* The service is in the testing phase, and will only be available in Green Bay and Milwaukee, Wisc.
* To subscribe, you must already have HBO […]
Backwater third-world TV networks can be even more clueless than their first-world counterparts. When Philippine TV network ABS-CBN was recently embroiled in a game show cheating scandal, blogger Jepoy Bengero posted a YouTube video defending them. ABS-CBN even praised Jepoy for doing so:
