BlankTV is an
online punk,
hardcore,
ska,
indie and
alternative music video channel. The
website launched in
January,
2000 as a partner
with LOAD Media in
Hollywood, using the
proprietary
LOADtv video delivery system.
Once LOAD Media went under in the
dot-com
bubble, in April,
2001,
BlankTV partnered with Vodexa Networks as a content delivery
partner, with a new proprietary video player. By
2002,
streaming video capabilities had advanced to
the point that indie bands and labels could afford to deliver
higher-quality streams and
downloads of videos without paying exorbitant
bandwidth costs. At
that point, BlankTV began aggregating content very quickly,
deep-linking to video clips on band and label
server. The
site currently boasts over 3,000 music videos and live clips, and
prides itself as being one of the
Internet's vanguard sites for new and independent
music.
