The good people of FireAnt.TV report that the innovative online/f2f media phenomenon Channel 101 has plugged into FireAnt technology (RSS feed submission and FA one-click
subscribe button, specifically). FireAnt summarizes Channel101 like this: Here’s how Channel101 works
— creators submit short “pilot episodes” that are screened in front of a live audience in LA. The
audience votes on their favorites and the top 5 pilots make it to “prime time” and go on to the next
screening — the others get “cancelled.” Prime Time shows continue month to month until they finally
fail to get the necessary votes, at which point they too become “cancelled.” Apparently at least
one Chanell 101 contributer has gone on to SNL.They also point to a NY version called Channel 102. I guess LA and NY aren't interesting enough anymore and even people there have to look online for their entertainment. I think this type of thing seems like a great combination of online and real-world media. I'm impressed.
