Empowerment.TV

Empowerment.TV is a new kind of TV and radio channel.

It is conceived of as a viable mainstream alternative to television.

There will be different "builds" for different audiences.

The mainstream will be more tightly edited for entertainment value whereas the "unstable" build will be more timely and less vetted.

Experimental Test

Podcasting: The Media Revolution

Pilot Podcast

The pilot podcast will be a single show. It is not primarily a news show. It is primarily a project show. It is a show for people working on projects. It is not an incitement to revolution, it is an action in progress.

Episodes are produced online with a collaborative process.

Shows can be video, audio, PDF or a combination. Shows include their online wiki page to provide links and discussion space for each show. The wiki pages can be whitelisted as viewable by the public.
