This is big news from the NMG Digital Division. Reasons:

1. NTV's YouTube Channel is one of the top 100 most viewed IN THE WORLD. Proof: http://www.youtube.com/ntvkenya . They have tried several times to do their video on their own, but they keep coming short. But it can't be overstated that to monetise those 64 million viewers that they have so far pushed to their YouTube channel would be fantastic.

2. Nation.co.ke currently relies heavily on Googleads for their revenue (17 million visitors p.m, generating 3m p.m). Every webmaster(including @wazua smile ) and his dog knows that Googleads pays peanuts compared to what direct advertising can bring in. NMG creating their own ad platform could ramp up their online revenues multiple times over.

3. Mobile application would increase the functionality AND monetisability (?) of their mobile ventures many times over


All in all, we're talking of a move that could see the digital division get into the 10s of millions in terms of monthly revenue, though to be honest, from my point of view, it looks like a long shot, given their past feeble attempts to get all this stuff done. Your thoughts?

Definitely, something to look forward to. They just need some vast data center with 99% uptime, else it will never be successful. From an IT perspective, having a private cloud would make more sense, and not a shared one!

Life is joy, death is peace, but the transition is very difficult.

@KenyaLyrics may be you should have been more clear...coz they're top 100 in their category (Directors) and not in the world. smile

Other things they might do, proprietary video API? Naaahhh,...you need twin genius in math and programming to accomplish that feat. Heck, even mighty Google (youtube) uses the Adobe standard (flash video). Your topic is misleading

I know video inakuwanga ngum sana, however, I understood their statement to mean that they were developing their own Wordpress video plugin, since NMG websites are Wordpress based

@qw even CNN use Wordpress to power their site. I don't see where the problem is.
