PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Paying through the nose on the Web" |
Well, CBS was thrilled with the fact that the Webcasts of BB2 turned a profit. Guess what may be next? Yep, the network's cash cow: Survivor, at least according to Zap2It.com. Here's the article:'BB2' Webcasts Turn Tidy Profit for CBS
Fri, Sep 28, 2001 12:12 PM PDT LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - CBS is so happy with the money it made from live webcasts of the goings-on in the "Big Brother 2" house, it's looking for other ways to charge for online content. About 56,000 people paid up to $19.95 to see Will, Krista, Mike Boogie and the rest of the "BB2" crew do whatever it was they did when the show wasn't on the air. Those numbers "far exceeded our expectations," David Katz, CBS' vice president for interactive ventures, tells Variety. "This thing was highly profitable." While the revenue generated from the webcasts was not that great -- less than $1 million -- CBS is excited to learn that people will, in fact, pay for online content. "Through this experiment, we've seen there clearly is value in using our content on a subscription basis," Katz says. "This is just the beginning." That can't be good news for those who protested having to pay to watch the "Big Brother 2" web streams, which were free during the show's first go-round. Katz says there was no way CBS could subsidize the cost of the webcasts. As for what might be next on the network's online horizon, Katz would only say that "There are a lot of opportunities." But it seems obvious that "Survivor," with its huge web presence and rabid fan base, would also be a good fit for web pay-per-view.

How could Survivor do live web feeds when the show is taped months in advance?

Kokoro--Where do you sign up for the general package? Is that at the real player official website? So all you have to do is sign up for the package, you get the "goldpass" that enables ou to watch big brother for 3 months?
