Next New Networks

edit

Next New Networks aims to build internet based “micro television networks” for targeted niche communities. The concept brings together elements of traditional TV networks with Internet functionality that invites viewers to contribute, share and distribute content; think Weblogs Inc meets video blogging with an everywhere distribution model.

The Company has 16 micro-networks launched as of March 2008 and plans to expand that number to 30. They claimed 33 million video views in March across all networks.
