Europe
: The world’s most democratic mobile TV channel will go live
with the launch of See Me TV, exclusively on 3. The launch sees 3
offering over 3.2 million customers cash in exchange for popular video
content in a move that promises to revolutionise the way 3G users
share video clips.
See Me TV is set to become the ultimate reality channel - providing
an opportunity for 3 customers to shine in front a potential audience
of millions.
All the budding star has to do is submit a thirty second video clip
to the service displaying their talents in front of or behind the
camera. The clip will then be uploaded to the ‘See Me TV’
channel for other 3 customers to view*.
Each time a clip is downloaded by a 3 customer the performer gets
paid 1p. With a potential audience of 3.2 million, the most popular
clips from contributors could make thousands of pounds worth of cash.
Credits from downloads are accumulated in an account and then a transfer
made via Paypal - with no cap on what a 3 customer can earn from See
Me TV.
Gareth Jones, 3’s Chief Operating Officer, comments, “Our
customers are using their video mobiles in endlessly creative ways
to entertain their mates and See Me TV will take this trend to the
next level. We wanted to create the ultimate reality channel, where
you’re the talent and you decide what you want to do. And the
more popular your clips, the more money you stand to make. The only
limit to what you can earn is your talent – or the lengths you’ll
go to make an impression.”
See Me TV is accessed via the 3 Services menu and is updated daily.
To help viewers navigate through the thousands of mini-movie clips
that will be available they are divided into categories, from ‘Stupid
Stuff’ to ‘Cuddly’ and ‘Dead Impressive’.
The most popular clips appear at the top of the browser to help cut
straight through to the top talent. All clips are presented with the
name of the ‘director’ and a title to encourage performers
to add attention.
