The problem – A small handful of mega corporations control some 90% of the news media in America, and distrust in the mainstream media is at all time highs. Independent and online media to date has tended to be biased towards one side of the political spectrum or the other, or has lacked the professionalism necessary to be taken seriously, along with lack of funds to really invest in boots on the ground investigating and fact checking of stories.
Starting up a network in the mold of the traditional network would be cost prohibitive, and with the way video content is being viewed in 2014, also wouldn’t make sense.
The solution – Starting a non traditional network by focusing on one show and producing great quality content, getting it on as many online and mobile (Roku, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Netflix, etc) platforms as possible, before looking to add another show.
