Bud.tv
From USA Today:
"The seven-channel operation, costing an estimated $30 million to start, is an attempt to develop a new way to reach consumers ages 21 to 27, who increasingly favor customized content over mass media — and distilled spirits over beer.
The themed channels will have two- to three-minute segments of original content. The sales pitch will be muted.
"This is meant to sell more beer, but consumers have to see it as entertainment, not a commercial-generated machine," says Tony Ponturo, head of global marketing.
Among channels on tap:
- Bud Tube. Consumer-generated video, including homemade ads for Bud or Bud Light.
- Reality. One show is a live version of The Dating Game show from the 1970s aired from bars and restaurants in 25 cities.
- Comedy. The channel will feature up-and-coming and wannabe stand-up comics.
- Happy Hour. Updates on news and unusual events, designed to give viewers something to chat about over a beer.
