//About us
What happens when you take the medium
of traditional Television Broadcasting and combine it with
the much less traditional medium of the Internet? Well,
you'll probably end up with a television set for the new
millennium, you'll definitely end up with something new
and edgy, and you're going to end up here at CultureTV!
We've taken Clipstream, and we're streaming it all out
to you broadband users for free!
What can I expect to see?
Keepin' it simple. CultureTV! delivers you the best mix
of art, short artvideos, events, museum, galleries, artists
and artnews.
Plus, you the viewer can soon submit shorts, cell phone
films, dedications, and requests to interact with the network
and influence what gets aired. Tell us what you want to
see from our rapidly growing library of artvideos, short
films and more. CultureTV! will provide and develop dozens
of programs to keep our viewers entertained and there'll
be more to come in the future.
