On Demand Weekly (ODW) is the first and only online publication dedicated to the rising Video On Demand (VOD) consumer market. The site is for the current 40+ million digital cable TV households with VOD (via US cable providers) who made over 3 billion VOD orders in 2008. Estimates predict the VOD market will exceed 60 million households by 2011, making it one of the largest and fastest growing home entertainment options.
With so many VOD programming options available to the digital cable subscriber, the messaging and choices can be confusing. ODW simplifies it by offering an online destination consumers can visit when making decisions on what to watch on VOD.
- This Week's Best focuses on the best programming and the hidden gems offered on VOD. The Top 3 selections of the 12 most prominent VOD categories will be highlighted weekly. Currently available for Comcast and Time Warner customers (more services will be featured at a later date).
- The Vodder Blog will keep readers informed of the latest VOD Industry news and promotions, as well as provide the only forum for VOD user feedback throughout the week.
On Demand Weekly was founded in 2009 in Silicon Valley by Britt Bensen and Doug Turner, two former marketing executives who first met at Miramax Films during independent film’s hey day in the ‘90s. Britt then moved to cable television at Robert Redford’s Sundance Channel and Doug to publishing at Maxim magazine. It was while running Sundance Channel VOD Britt recognized the need for an independent destination for consumers to get their VOD information. 74% of all TV viewers consult some kind of guide before watching their selection. ODW taps into this information hungry demographic.
Known for recognizing the next wave in consumer behavior throughout their careers, Britt and Doug bring their 20+ years of experience, industry ties and their enthusiasm for TV to the pages of On Demand Weekly.
So tune in weekly and let us know what you think.
