Nearly 80 years ago, from a wooden hut that largely resembled a garden shed, the first ever commentary of a league football match was broadcast. 22\/1\/1927<\/a><\/p>\n

20 years prior to that, radio got its first voice. Reginald Fessenden broadcast voice messages and a sound recording of ‘o holy night’ on violin to ships in the Atlantic 24\/12\/1906<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now (nearly) everyone has a personal mobile phone, mp3 players, camcorders or phones that do all 3 and more. With the internet we have a channel to broadcast on, with storage for demand radio on demand<\/a>, with rss and http to podcast. Now everyone can become a Peig Cunningham<\/a> and their life can be recorded like Truman Burbank.<\/a><\/p>\n

TV was better when we had 4 channels? so all the extra noise tries harder and harder to make a living off a decreasing audience share. Audience’s are bombarded with choice without the social skills or technology tools to wade thought the rubbish and find the gems.<\/p>\n

We need new commentators, network independent, content source independent, like content analysts in differing vertical markets of content\/subject\/genre. Unlike politicians we elect, we need people we can trust.<\/p>\n

While digg & youtube and others allow vote counting and hat tipping we need pillars of choice. We have content over supply with audience under supply to that content, unless there is a data recession we need a choice revolution<\/strong> that will see choice move away from company executives and towards content experts. Now more than ever we need those Gary Bushell<\/a> types of tv critique. will you pay for it? We need new commentators.
