The Only Way is Baghdad

Followers of ThePeloton.tv blog know that part of our operation is to train organisations to do broadcast. Adrian heads this up and very well he does it too. As well as working for press and PR organisations in the UK, his work has taken him to Saudi Arabia and most recently Northern Iraq. 

Working for a Kurdish news network called Rudaw, Adrian has been training and consulting with their management, journalists and presenters to get them ready for launch later this year.

It seems that Adrian is so popular and regarded there that he starred on a channel advertising billboard. Yes starred… flanked by the show presenters. Match that Beeb!

If you're planning a launch, get in touch, contact us via our website. Alternatively, we're selling signed photos of Adrian - £2.50, cheques payable to A Smith.

YouTube: the new TV Commissioners.

You heard it here first..honest, guv. At the beginning of the year we predicted that YouTube would start becoming a more powerful player in British media. That prediction is rapidly becoming a reality.

YT (as we know it) recently announced that it now gains a billion unique viewers every month. This phenomenal surge has been powered to new heights by multiscreen viewing habits. It’s also changing its business model and moving from being an aggregator to becoming a content commissioner.

In Europe, YT has already launched 46 new channels with comedy, food and sport central to its plans. And this change to the broadcast landscape is great news for independent online video producers (such as us lucky folk). 

ThePeloton is filming the YT star KSI touring around the grounds of English Premier League teams talking (rather loudly) to supporters, getting their opinions (winding them up) and finding the game’s biggest rivals (Norwich vs Ipswich anybody?). KSI has already got over a million subscribers to his own YT channel, so he must be doing something right!

ThePeloton’s films will be posted regularly on the YT channel, Slash Football. Take a look.

And here’s a taste of what to expect from ThePeloton, KSI and Slash Football over the coming year.
