(2006-10-04) Ad Hoc Tv

Katie Couric's silly new show has had a segment called Free Speech. But CBS may have tried to limit Bill Maher's subject matter.

Jeff Jarvis shot a segment, and compares the labor involved to doing his own Video Casting (and to a recent experience he had with Amanda Congdon). She said she didn't want her stuff called TV; she said it's something new, it's a Video Blog (V Log?). I argued, in turn, that the definition of TV is up for grabs and that she should grab it: Don't let the big, old guys define and own TV.

Jeff also got Steve Garfield to get people taping their own segments and tagging them Say It Katie.

And Terry Teachout is digging through YouTube submissions to effectively build a Video On Demand culture network.

Awesome.
