[pima.nius] Re: Calling on PI TV Makers

3:49 AM |

Io Olly and Aaron for your comments re Will's KiwiTVcom.au
Perhaps I'll provide a quote from an article that appeared in the
Sydney morning Herald 5-6 December 2009 regarding the TV explosion
and moves major TV networks in the world are making which Kiwitv/PiTV
is at the forefront. Yeap TV on demand is the way to go as Jeff Cole,
the director of the centre for the Digital future at USC,california
was quoted in the mentioned article.."Dr Cole says the old model of
television broadcasting is almost irrelevant already:" Teenagers
barely understand the concept of watching TV on a broadcast network's
schedule" he say's." If you talk to them (about what free to air is
offering now) watch a favorite show and you had to be home before it
started and couldn't leave the house until it aired..."
I agree with Dr. Cole Those days are numbered my friends. the ability
to record the show and watch it later has fundamentally changed the
game Kiwitv was the forefront of TV on demand. We screeded MTS Te
karere and other shows before MTS copied us and now do their ownTV on
demand...
With our Polynesian population being mostly young people we at PIMA
have to be up with the play on how our very young community are
watching...
Mate i was watching TV on a iphone today And you want pacific TV to
go on mainstream TV...Mate
Yes guys join KiwiTV for PiTV as we move ahead...???

I have...
