SAY WORD! | BUDWEISER LAUNCHES ONLINE ENTERTAINMENT NETWORK BUD TV

By Led Black

Shula_jayz_1Fresh on the heels of spending mad dough on Super Bowl ads, Budweiser launches an online entertainment network known as Bud TV.  The internet network makes its debut today and will air original programming produced by an A-list group of talent such as LivePlanet, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s production company and Trigger Street Films, Kevin Spacey’s production company, among others.  The budding network will also feature skits created by the writers and performers of Saturday Night Live and a Science-Fiction series made in collaboration with video-game maker Electronic Arts.  The venture aims to capitalize on the popularity of You Tube but is seen by some as a risky and costly endeavor.  Even though I don’t drink the stuff, I personally prefer Presidente, kudos to Budweiser for this brazen act of innovation and next-levelness.  We just wish they didn't make visitors fill out a form to watch their programming. This is why Youtube win's and the rest just don't...gotta admit though...that Jay-Z vs Don Shula commercial was pretty ill...I digress...
