G+_George Kozi Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Leo Laporte Lisa Kentzell A lot of your hosts and contributors have outside interests and make shows that do not immediately fit within the TWIT model. Sarah has some pet show, Snubs has something, and I'm sure there are others too. Why don't you start up a TWiT Weirds section featuring these shows on the TWiT stream during the prolonged rerun periods? (Guest Shows) These are already produced, and would cost TWiT nothing. You could even put a TWiT add before they start...There is enough space late at night or in the weekend, before the normal programing starts. I'm sure your hosts would appreciate it, and you might even attract new people to the TWiT stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_curt eagle Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Your idea has one major flaw. These produced shows that you're talking about are all owned by other networks like Revision3 and others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Michael Descy Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I don't think TWIT has an interest in producing these shows. They don't fit as nicely with the TWIT brand, and would cost money to produce, distribute, and promote. Also, I bet TWIT has, written into their hosts' contracts, the right of first refusal regarding other podcasts. It is probably a choice to not produce all the podcasts their hosts are on, and to tolerate benevolently their hosts' other non-TWIT podcasts.

G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 They're already letting me take over the stream on Friday nights. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_George Kozi Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Yeah, and i'm thoroughly enjoying that. Being on the other side of the planet, I already said goodbye to Friday night sleep for the foreseeable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Matt Lyons Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Yeah I'm not sure how you think TWIT could just take another networks show, slap an ad on them, and air it. ? Those other shows belong to the networks, not the hosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_George Kozi Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 I never said take... And people could be making shows in their free time that are not on any network. Chaz's Minecraft show started out that way. Leo just let him do his thing on TWiT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
