I've been tracking on Discovery Channel's work - http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/dirtyjobs/dirtyjobs.html to deepen and widen their audiences. But BravoTV has raised the bar. Quality content attracts a community. Those who are integrating the broadcast media to drive greater engagement in the digital space are the ones who will lead. Those who still believe broadcast media is the center won't be around long. Ironically, the incumbent media giants have the greatest opportunity to dominate the space given their existing audience base. Unfortunately for them, human nature will keep them from seeing that what worked in the past isn't what will work in the future. @scottyhendo Nice summary of BravoTV’s efforts.

The show was called "Speakers Corner" where anybody could enter a "video booth" set up in a downtown location, pop in a buck and speak their mind. The show aired once a week. By the people, for the people. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-TH73J7aa8 ) It's good to see bravo getting in the game... The concept of being able to buy clothes and furniture etc. from tv shows in not entirely new, but it is interesting to see it come alive via the web. Interactive television has been fledgling along for some time now. I guess it should be no surprise that bravo took this concept for the web. Not sure that it is 2.0, but it is an interesting idea. It's interesting to see the extension of fiction online with shows like Lost too. There is also the hijacking of characters from MadMen on twitter. Tweeting from 40 years ago... Ironic, given that most ad agencies are staying away from social media. Great post! I always thought the closest example to web 2.0 television came from Toronto’s City TV.
