What the hell is TitanTV, really.

Positioning itself as "King World for the web" TitanTV has announced plans for syndicating web programming. They are ofterring web programs for sale to local TV stations to play in a special player on your local website.

We get the problem they think they're solving, right? You watch your favorite ABC shows on your local ABC affiliate, and then you go to the web to read bout htem and you go to ABC.com, not wtnh.com to learn about them. What good is that to our affiliates in the future.

But, since I can watch content on the website of an affiliate in Cheyenne just as easily as I can on one here in brooklyn, what exactly is the business model here?  Ya dig?

Well, yes, now that you ask, I did try to ask Titan CEO Mark Ephron.  But for some reason, they refused to grant and interview with him to some completely unkown blogger.  Ha!  When I'm writing my Future of Entertainment column for the Times, I'll remember this.  O.K., no, I won't.
