Last Friday's Blog TV Broadcast Debut Recap: Shaky Start But Necessary Trial & Error

Well, I launched my Blog TV broadcast for the first time this past Friday Night (3/18/11). This is not going to be the extensive blog I had hoped to write but to be perfectly honest I think that the debut broadcast's initial was a very mixed bag and really that is my own fault for setting far too lofty expectations for a series premiere if you will when the trial and error I inevitably experienced was always going to serve as a far better barometer and guideline for doing what I really wish to accomplish. First off, I ended up being about 90 minutes delayed in broadcasting because I had some webcam technical difficulties. I realized that I had to launch my webcam on something else first and then cancel that application/site once I was able to launch it on Blog TV itself. Once going, I was critiqued by long-time friend and music associate Paul Davis for it being too much of an advertisement and not interactive enough but I responded to him by saying that I always intended it to be much more of an introduction to Himay Co., T1V2 Productions, Cheyenne Lavene, Tuesday's Child, and the entire overall strategic purpose and creative goals of the broadcast show itself. I started my "What Am I Listening To Right Now" segment and I will continue to do that and add other things. I will be much less infomercial in my approach to it this week and in subsequent weeks but it was always my plan to start with more of a lecture-style product and then slide into a more interactive model where viewers could interact. As it stands, and the late hour probably had something to do with it, I had only about 8 or 9 people at the same time at the most for the entire broadcast. And I forgot to mention that I initially did a broadcast in its entirety without the sound until Paul informed me that it was not present so he was my sound check the second time around. I will be announcing my full agenda sometime Friday afternoon (or by then - hopefully sooner) in a special blog briefing beforehand.

Stay tuned.
