2. Goal
Blaring TVâs goal is to be the #1 destination for users to view live (and archived) musical
performances online.
In addition to delivering expansive video content, the companyâs suite of applications, tools and
technologies motivates fans to be highly engaged with artists and performers. We will build
enthusiastic communities and unique social experiences that drive interest in our artist and
venue partners.
Our goal is the become the go-to platform in the world for performers to showcase their live
talent online to reach the masses. There is no other site online that offers live streaming
dedicated to live music and we feel Blaring can capture this market.
3. How will we get there?
Blaring Mediaâs will make it easy for venues and artists to live stream their events. We will
provide venues with the camera, content delivery technology and expertise to stream all of
their shows online.
We will offer them a channel (dedicated venue page) on Blaring.tv that will showcase
performances and be a marketing source for the venue. This gives them an opportunity to
display upcoming shows with links to tickets, merchandise, social media interaction, etc.
Our premise is that if we can make it easy for venues to offer this service to all performers
coming through their venues we can create a signiïŹcant amount of trafïŹc and a user
community to generate revenue.
One Time Setup. Just Click to Stream!
4. Current Market
-Stageit.com would be our closest competitor however they remain focused on streaming low key
performances, typically a single web cam with hit or miss video and audio quality. They have had a
lot of success with their model, taking 40% of the PPV revenue.
-Livestream.com - Will handle production, CDN services, etc. for a charge to an entertainer to
stream a show live, or just used as a platform to stream a show. Typically poor video and audio.
Typically free streams.
-ustream - Used as a platform to stream anything online. Typically poor video and audio. Offers
PPV, and takes 50% of revenue generated.
-youtube live - offering some free live music streams. They also play music videos with ads played
before --- problem with youtube is that users upload content so as a viewer you have to sort
through a few different videos to ïŹnd one that is good, while a lot of bands only have mobile
phone quality video...not good for the band
-yahoo music - shows artist interviews, music news, etc... not live streaming
-noisey.com - showcasing new artists - offers content like interviews, etc, only focused on up and
coming talent
5. What makes us different?
Blaring TV is dedicated to live music.
There is no other site that offers consistent live music events online.
Blaring manages and provides world class support for venues to make it easy to stream live events.
By partnering with venues directly and giving them tools to do live streaming, instead of tasking
artist with this, we will have the ability to provide an ongoing line up of shows and content.
Blaring will be free for artist / venues to do live streaming.
Streaming partners will be at our discretion, not everyone in the world will have a channel keeping
tight control of content.
6. BeneïŹts for Venue Partners
Blaring TV will provide the venue with a marketing platform to promote upcoming shows, other
services, merchandise, etc.
Blaring manages and provides world class support for venues in getting this set up. Part of the on-
boarding process with a new venue includes testing, training and set up. We will also provide a
camera, hardware and software applications.
Venues can use this service to generate additional revenue from the performers by up-charging for
streaming services and revenue splits if artist chooses to do a Pay Per View show.
Untapped Revenue Streams Venue recognition and better branding Sell more tickets!
7. BeneïŹts for Performers
Blaring TV allows artists to utilize this platform to show the world their talents and engage fans on
a new level.
EXAMPLE - A fan we interviewed watched Coachella's live feed of the Arcade Fire performance
(previously liked some songs but didn't consider herself a fan) and was so impressed by their show
that she bought tickets to a show in San Francisco. Now she owns three albums on iTunes: Neon
Bible, the Suburbs and the Funeral.
Not only will our site attract more fans but it will also allow them to add an additional revenue
source via Pay Per View.
Reach every fan, every show, all over the world!
Untapped Revenue Streams Interact with fans and build
a stronger following
8. Case Study: Our First Live Show!
