Nerd TV

PBS kicks off NerdTV - broadcast TV's first entirely downloadable series. It features PBS technology columnist Robert X. Cringely's interviews with personalities from the world of technology. NerdTV is available for download from pbs.org/nerdtv...

NerdTV is essentially Charlie Rose for geeks - a one-hour interview show with a single guest from the world of technology. Guests like Sun Microsystems co-founder Bill Joy or Apple computer inventor Steve Wozniak are household names if your household is nerdy enough, but as historical figures and geniuses in their own right, they have plenty to say to ALL of us. NerdTV is distributed under a Creative Commons license so viewers can legally share the shows with their friends and even edit their own versions. If not THE future of television, NerdTV represents A future of television for niche audiences that have deep interest in certain topics.
