It's time for a 24x7 Carnatic Live & Archive Video Channel

Post by Sachi_R »

Thanks to several intiatives like Sangeethapriya.org, Parivadini, Carnatica, Sanskriti, Arkay, Madhuradhwani, Shaale,.... (excuse omissions please), we have been givrn a good taste of watching live programs anywhere and everywhere. There is a famous Purandara Dasa song, "Elliruvano Ranga Emba samshaya beDa, Elli bhaktaru karedare, alle Odaguvano..."
Most such videos finally get archived on YouTube with its ads and copyright irritants.

Why not create our own Channel, by pooling in resources and expertise? We already have live casting expertise, archiving/server expertise, social media marketing awareness, and even some audience measurements.

COME ON.

24X7
No irritating ads and banners (mention of sponsors and slide ads permissible)
Global access via mobile/PC/TV (needs tie-ups)
Concert livecasts from prelisted sabhas with broadband
Other venues on demand for a fee
Two channels, one for established artistes, other for juniors and as a learning portal & for events, interviews etc.
Third Channel audio only, with historical concert archives
Will publish a broadcasting schedule
Searchable archive base
Donation driven, with tax incentives
People can record their videos and upload for a small fee (₹200 or so)
Evolving media standards, T&C etc.

How about it!!!???

Any potential investors? Anybody willing to do project proposal for funding/setting up? Anybody for technical expertise? Any part time/full time volunteers?
