SometimesWhaa? Amanda Congdon's Show Gets Distribution Deal
Former Rocketboom star Amanda Congdon launched her latest online video show, "Sometimes Daily" last week. I can't figure out what the show is about other than it seems to focus a lot on Hillary Clinton. There appears to be a small cast of 4-5 people including Congdon's business partner.
Today she is announcing a distribution deal with NY-based Media Rights Capital. Terms of the deal were not disclosed but Dan Goodman, President of Digital Media for MRC said, "Our focus for Sometimes Daily will be taking a great proven digital talent like Amanda and offering MRC’s support and infrastructure to unleash her creatively to do what she does best."
Here's what's really funny - Congdon bashed to all heck ABC when they didn't offer embeds, comments, etc. on her news show on ABCNews, but on Sometimes Daily, there's only a .mov file - no embed option. I just can't see this show lasting, especially if they need to sign on a sponsor for ad revenue. Congdon does have a loyal fan base so perhaps that will help the show to grow. Check out our notes from Congdon at SXSW last year.
Gawker has more on Amanda's online/offline/online transition.
