I assume for the same reason everyone launches their own Network. Money.
I’ve been whining about not having conservative only TV stations but the uneducated voter is not going to pay. I will.
Because not that many people were interested in seeing more than about an hour of “Sarah Palin’s Alaska”?
Because a lot of disgusted conservatives will never tune in to Glenn Beck’s station again?
So, I guess it’s time for some people to stop printing “Palin in 2016” bumper stickers.
Money grab. But so what, this America. Grab away Sarah. Just don’t expect any from me.
I love Sarah, but I am dubious about this.. She should have jumped in with Glenn Beck on his network. Beck should also hire Jay Leno to do a monthly special
I would love to see Beck kick multi-media butt!
(I know we don’t agree with him 100% but he is certainly on our side)
For all you jurors, she is not hiding behind a paywall. She is trying to break the competition that refuses to properly inform Americans. There is no way she has ever been involved in this for only herself. She has dared to challenge the status quo every chance she gets. It must not be too fun to spend much of your time looking over your shoulder. I support her 100% and so should the majority on this “conserative” site.
Then tell me how one makes money on the Internet if they don't sell a product or have advertisers?
How come the Palin Family are not launching any of the following businesses.
Expanding their Fishing, Todd designing or manufacturing any of the vehicles he can operate including Seaplanes, Snowmobiles, ATV's etc.
Yes they are mature businesses, but on the back side their is a ton of Bureaucrats with fees and licenses and governing agencies.
They don't have to deal with Fedzilla to Launch a TV Channel on the web.....Yet...
Question:
I thought it was a smart business idea back in March when I first heard of it and I think its a smart business idea now that Ive seen the results. It reminds me a bit, in fact, of what the boss emeritus was aiming for with our daily Vent segments back when Hot Air first launched, although Palins project promises lots more video content than we were capable of. (I also wonder if, like HA, her channel will feature more written content over time.) Tapp, the company behind it, sees its goal as connecting super-fans to the personalities they cant get enough of, and no pol has as many super-fans as Palin. Thats why I dont understand the grumbling about the subscription fee. Its slightly more expensive than Netflix $9.95 per month or $99.95 per year, same as TheBlaze but why wouldnt it be? Until recently, Netflix was the ultimate low-motivation purchase. You signed up not because there was anything in particular you wanted to watch but because the size of their library meant that you could find something of interest when you got bored. (The success of House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black may be changing that.) Palins channel and TheBlaze are high-motivation purchases: Theyre pitched not at the general public but at core fans of two political personalities with an intense following. Why wouldnt people like that pay more than the average Joe pays for Netflix? Some Palin and Beck fans would hand over quite a bit more than 10 bucks a month, Im sure.
Where does Tapp go after this, though? Who else on the public landscape would be a good fit for this sort of personalized TV channel? I think athletes are the best fit: Theyve got the time to do it in the off-season (and maybe sporadically during the season) and theyve got intense fan bases whod be willing to pay for a look behind the scenes. Why should LeBron or Richard Sherman be content with pre-game interviews or Twitter when they could do a webcam vid speaking directly to their fans once or twice a week, post it to their personal site, and charge five bucks a month to watch it? In the off-season, they could hire a small crew and do slightly more professional features every couple of weeks. Theyd make millions. Or rather, millions more than they do now. The only question is how much aggravation theyre willing to deal with during their down time in churning out clips.
If she would decide to re-enter the political arena, would this count against the equal access laws? Or could she continue it during a (hypothetical) campaign?
she need to an youtube channel
