The EPP has launched today a new web tv project called Dialogue TV. Some comments on the flood of new EU web tv channels.
The EPP-ED already has an ambitious web tv project (EPP-ED TV) so why does the EPP add another portal? Dialogue TV is branded as the “EPP European Election website” so maybe there will be more to come than just videos?
“EU political parties can’t buy airtime on big networks like BBC, CNN or Euronews, so we decided to create our own web tv channel instead,” EPP deputy secretary general Luc Vandeputte told EUobserver.
But let’s not forget that apart from EPP-ED TV there is also Europarl TV which should get the conservatives in the EP some considerable air/web timeshare.
So how many web tv channles do we need? And wouldn’t it be better if all those channels are somehow centralised somewhere instead of creating just one more website that you visit once and then forget again.
I think it would be far better for EP candidates to make their own little videos and post them to Youtube, Facebook and Europarl TV.

But they’d be so biased! Far better to have someone non-political making all these videos and then add the punditry on top like a dusting of delicious Belgian chocolate. There are always pundits, but who’s eating their creamy punditry?
