ManiaTV: is it a model for Internet TV?
Filed in archive IPTV by martino on August 08, 2005
In August 2004, ManiaTV went live from a 15,000 square foot warehouse in denver
with a roster of green "cyberjockeys" or CJs. They were recruited mostly through craigslist and hired more on personality and looks than experience. The production booth was put in an old school bus.
In the intervening 10 months, Madison & Vine reports that ManiaTV has drawn an audience of 1.5 million college-aged students. I know a number of niche cable networks that wish they could do that.
Drew Massey, 35-year-old entrepreneur and founder, said "The whole mission is to do with Internet TV what Ted Turner did with cable."
