Welcome to Humber.tv! If you’ve found this page and are wondering what all this stuff is about, please read on.

We see Humber.TV as a window for everyone to have freedom of speech and don’t support or go against anyone or organisation that appears on the show. We have so far interviewed a wide range of people, beliefs, and organisations including a Pagan, Jew, Gay, Gender Shifted, Labour, BNP‚  Puppets, Accountants, Head Teachers, Hypnotists, web designers, Spiritualists, Reverends, Scottish, Chinese, South African and so on…

The Humber.tv Story so far…

It all started in the middle of 2009 with an idea of an online LIVE streaming and on demand website. The local area and The Humber seemed a nice area in size to cover and so registered the domain Humber.tv Watching other online shows like live.TWIT.TV with Leo Laporte as the host and founder made me WANT to start something like this up. It looked great fun, the future and something that was lacking in the UK and my area.

Over the months we have tested, trialed, bought, begged, borrowed and stole hardware, to see what works and what doesn’t. We are in no way experts in this field but had used the ideas seen on Leo’s shows and have followed them through.

We don’t do “Wouldn’t it be good if we do this” If an idea gives you a good gut feeling, run with it!

We could have put the launch off until we were 100% happy, but that would be never and so we launched Humber.TV on the 4th March 2010.

So thank you Leo for the idea / push towards starting and thank YOU all for joining us and all involved so far.

From the beginning you can see we didn’t have the best of kit, backdrops and setup! But we are improving every week the quality of the shows in many senses.

A lot in the news about “paywalls” we don’t think at this moment in time anyone would pay to enter restricted parts of our site and so don’t think we’ll ever go down that road. Our moto (for now) is “Bridging the GAP!” and so would restrict access to people that cant afford to pay a monthly fee to see “Paywall” sites.

The whole setup, running and expense has been funded by Andy’s  other businesses. We have just started offering advertising and other services to help fund it. This will help Humber.TV grow, become more feature rich and help people understand what’s happening in the Humber area through online TV.

_________________________________________

We have had a short spell from LIVE streaming and regular recordings to construct a plan on how best to deliver an online TV service to the Humber region. We have had a revamp of our website and developed it to be more:

  • More feature rich
  • More end user involved
  • Shows the latest event information
  • Content and events from local people and organisations
  • Media can be submitted by the public, PR companies etc
  • More LIVE streams on location and scheduled shows

_________________________________________

We are now looking for any photographers, media companies and local people in general to submit content whether it’s text, photos, audio or video. All this will give a better enduser experience and hopefully become a central hub for the Humber area for multi media information on maybe some of the topics below:

  • Business
  • Whats On
  • Eating Out
  • Health and wellbeing
  • Sports
  • Community
  • News
  • Jobs
  • Homes
  • Motors

Just sign up find the post and click the “Submit your Media” button to the right of the text content.

We have included many more ways companies can advertise on the website too, our main one been video before the main event or interview video starts.

We know a few things will need tweaking and are always open to comments and suggestions! Lets run with this for a month and see what comes out by November 2011.
