Podcasting Television

I thought to myself recently "why don't more TV shows integrate with podcasting? Wouldn't it be cool if episodes could be touched up for presentation as audio-only podcasts?" Well, I looked around the 'Net and was able to find several places where this was happening. (new windows)

The Pittsburgh Channel

FOXCAST

The NewsHour

CBS News (not strictly tv)
Although podcasting has taken off as a hobby, it is still a nascent industry. These companies are far ahead of the curve, and whether that will pay off [big] has yet to be seen. At the very least podcasting is bound to become one more way for consumers to digest content. Despite podcastings drawbacks as a more technical and obscure niche, it has an inherent over radio–it exists online. There is no radio network to limit content. This makes finding advertisers and sponsors somewhat difficult (assuming a podcaster can even muster a large audience), but it also gives the consumer a greater variety of choices. People, if they are so inclined, can listen to what they want when they want.
