(iverson's) currentbuzz: AP to syndicate video from TV partners; Microsoft doing the platform

For the nation's 1000 television stations, many of which have news gathering operations, the opportunity to publish and monetize video is immediate. For 1500 newspapers and 4500 local radio stations, whose staffs produce very little video right now, the opportunity will be a little bit further off. It could be that the most immediate opportunity for newspapers and radio stations will be user-generated content. We'll have to see.

I agree that we will have to see. Professional clips make a big difference on an HDTV screen, but I if I am watching via computer, I find the content is more important than the talking head or pro shooter. Also, the article talks about all the ads that have been sold. If I am going to have to watch ads, I will "route around" APs service and use alternatives without ads.

We'll see, won't we.
