Why hasn't RAWK got a media channel?
« on: June 2, 2012, 09:09:02 PM »
I've always wondered why RAWK doesn't have a media channel of some sort, I've never really been a fan of RedmenTV, but I've read some excellent articles on here and always thought that they would be excellent for video publication. Some of the stuff from that Feinted Zebra fella is quite funny and the brand of RAWK would bare well on the Media front.

I look at a lot of some of the VBloggers who blog about LFC, and whilst some of the examples are quite good, some are quite pants but they get a good share of views on the Tube.

Isn't this something that has ever happened on RAWK?

Good idea, ill host a show. That would be fun to be honest :)

It's just something I've always wondered, there are more than enough creative individuals who seem to have a good grasp of current events in the football world; there are some that don't but, nonetheless there are some quality posters on here like.

It wouldn't take much to set up; bit like a radio show, but with moving pictures. I don't neccesarily like the format of some of the other LFC shows, (and even some of the stuff on LFCTV), but they get the stars, so I guess that's the offset.

Some of the Vbloggers I have seen, are easily just reading a random article that they've found, reworded and telepromted in front of them, but they get a decent share of views indeed.

RedmenTV is a bit cringe at times, that's probably the reason why RAWK doesn't have one :P

There's an easy way around that like, first stop would be to take the current business "not too seriously" (I mean, they aren't Media Oligarch's), but not try and be funny per se, that balance can quite hard to establish, but with a certain degree of humility it can be done. I know a girl who was on there and she said it was a bit thrown together, which is good, I'm not knocking it, but let's face it, it's not really rocket science.

Let's face it, Fantasy Football League pioneered this style of show... and Frank Skinner and David Baddiel really did bring this kind of show to life, David Baddiel being the genius behind it's format, and Skinner delivering a character whose dry, witty British style humour, created a synthesis of what football is all about. Baddiel representing the very logical, right brain thinking, critical thinker, whilst Skinner presented us with the left brain, impulsive and "down to earth" character who burned away at the true fan in all of us.

Who "owns" RAWK?

I think "the face for radio" thing applies to the majority of the forum which is why.

Most people in this world are tits. The fact they have an allegiance with Liverpool Football Club doesn't change that.

That would be quite a show.
