This isn’t Black Hulu as much as it is Black Crackle, which is a great, great start. To be Black Hulu you need multiple content sources. The advertising will come, but you have to give people with 400 channels of cable a reason to watch a small screen.

I applaud this launch mainly because it’s addressing something people are actually checking for in the marketplace. CodeBlack’s titles are popular. It would have been easy for them to give this stuff to someone else to monetize. I applaud them for taking this on themselves.

It could work. All they need is a strategic partnership with one of the many customizable white label media players that are out there or an ad network, or they could just use brightcove. Black content owners, agencies are notorious for being behind when it comes to interactive and digital. Quality content has never been a problem. Distribution for that content has. Sharing is essential.

Wow jousting in a comments section. @ Markus @ Jayreds but isn’t that what the internet is about. Niches? And for businesses to build in niche verticals?

Also if you look at it from a target marketing aspect. They automaically know the demographic and Code Black can monetize the hell out of it. Selling Digital downloads, Direct advertising and a subscription services I can think right off the bat.

They can kill in that market if the do right. Hell makes me want to do it. Hummm.

@Markus

Looking at it from that angle is interesting. You make two very valid points.

I concede.
