Personal television revisited: Concurrent Network Television

Abstract

We describe a collaboratively managed television service, combining audiovisual techniques, social networks concepts, and services distributed over the Internet. We named this service Concurrent Network Television - CNTV. This proposal aims to fill the gap between the audience and new actors that will be involved in broadcast production as a consequence of the new configuration of the audio-visual sector after the completion of the analog switch-off, and the multiplication of diffusion channels. Indeed, with an appropriate strategy, the system discussed makes it possible real personal television, that is, the television I configure for myself, but also for the rest of the world.
