About SlangTV

Background
A sweeping shift is taking place in the business of electronic media. Online media platforms continue their assault on “old media” platforms and properties, replacing old business models, and in many cases creating entirely new audiences, styles and genres. As advertising dollars shift from old media properties to the new online media, traditional media - TV networks, terrestrial radio, and newspapers see their audiences continue to fragment, and their abilities to finance fresh content are depleted. The result is more repetition, less creativity, and a more boring and predictable form of content that only hastens their decline.

The next few years will only be more challenging for the old line media companies. With the growth of broadband, video Ipods, video capable cell phones, and home computers that are getting increasing capable of receiving and displaying video based content, a tipping point is imminent and will soon be reached where on line video is as easy accessible and available to the consumer as has traditional television been. A new opportunity exists for content providers with something, new, different, and compelling.

The Concept
SlangTV.Com has been created to exploit this unique opportunity. Our first release offers free “web TV,” - a continuous , 24 hour stream of video based content that is available to anyone in the world with a computer, laptop, or cell phone who is willing to log on for a few minutes and see something different that will make them, think, laugh, or get mad. SlangTV.Com, is satirical, irreverent, funny, and wholly devoted to exploding the sense of worth and entitlement of the media and political establishments, and all those who take themselves “seriously.”

SlangTV.Com lampoons politicians who would rather criminalize drug addicts rather than treat them, who lower taxes on the rich and then let loose an unprecedented surge in government spending. It’s sights are firmly trained on the Hollywood movie and cultural industry, that can’t come up with an original idea to save its life, but demands more and more money for its products and gives its coddled and arrogant performers paychecks that are abhorrent to working people everywhere. SlangTV.Com is THE anti establishment broadcaster.
