  This is something I've been working on for a week or so. There is very little content. Any feedback would be appreciated. It was somewhat inspired by YCRFS 4.

  I don't trust the rest of humanity enough to make this worthwhile for me.

    The long-term plan would be to have multiple channels, with at least one that would presumably fit your interests.

  Interesting... There is a bit of value in not having to find and program your own content (e.g., Radio DJ vs. MP3). On the other hand, there are already a bunch of services that handle this in a more general sense (HN, Reddit, Digg, etc.) and specifically for video (YouTube, etc.). Your differentiation seems to be that you're planning a constant stream that doesn't require the interaction of an on-demand approach. Without interaction, I imagine it'd be difficult to solicit votes. If it were me, I'd try to get the streaming idea going by aggregating content and popularity data from the various existing services.

    The on-demand approach is not completely eliminated. Users can still watch episodes of previously broadcast shows. I'm hoping that the show owners will be out there encouraging voters. I also thought that some statistics displayed to the user could encourage voting(consecutive weeks voting, total shows voted for, etc.)
