A TV channel for your PC

CBS has launched a TV channel for those with a broadband connection. it is called by the cutesy name “Innertube” and can be viewed at this link. According to CNET

CBS Corp. has released a broadband channel that will feature original programming, supplements to popular shows, classics and encores of prime-time shows.

Initially, Innertube will feature original content. In the coming months, CBS television programs will be added. Advertising will be the channel’s main source of revenue.

If watching stuff this way appeals to you, keep that last part under scrutiny. Do they plan to use adware? Annoying Macromedia Flash ads that cover the screen? Since this “channel” may be a model for others to come, I’ll be curious to see what kind of advertising method they come up with.
