Blurred Line Between TV and Web Video

Mark Sullivan from PC World blogging from the NewTeeVee Live Television Reinvented event today in San Francisco, a gathering of practically everybody in the business of pushing video on the Internet.

This morning’s first session lined up some key players from Turner Broadcasting, BigFantastic, MTV, as well as YouTube crossover star Lisa Donavan (Lisa Nova) to talk about the blurring of the lines between traditional TV and Internet Video.

BigFantastic’s Douglas Cheney says his company’s breakthrough moment was when TV mega-player Michael Eisner took a meeting with them after seeing their videos online.
