Absolutely untrue and greedy. No one here had ever heard of ITV or their show or anyone on it except Simon, until Susan Boyle came along. Because of her video millions more tuned into that show and others of theirs, and multitudes more youtube sites. Millions of us had never bothered with youtube before. This notion that they did not profit is utterly and mindlessly absurd. Greed makes people blind.

Hope she is that ONE newly minted selebrity who doesn t change at all. Hope none of the slick and cruel media types hurts her feelings or attacks her self respect.

I find it refreshing that some want the money issue to be dropped, and let the girl sing! That's all well and good, but I think like many people in this discussion, we are very aware of ITV's financial predicament.

To hear them miss out on an opportunity is a big shame, but more to the core of this is the fact that there seems to be some bickering between YT and ITV, and that the latter has missed the boat on what is going to be a very important means of revenue for all media companies in the very near future.

Patrick has outlined the obvious reasons why so much attention is being put on web advertising. If ITV’s broadcast advertising revenue is falling, then they need to get up to speed on web advertising and use opportunities like this to get back some cash that they are sorely missing.

I don’t want ITV to fall behind. I fear if they do (in any of the recent developments of on-demand or IPTV), what all people want – top quality TV – will be a thing of the past, and so will ITV.

Oh, and good luck Susan!

money! money!money!it'sthe same old shit....let this fine singing sensation make alittle so that she to can enjoy a little of the good life to..so called!the old saying "never judge a book by it's cover" has surely hit the bullseye here. i would love for her to pick up a broadway contract for something for she sure can sing, (at least that song, for sure!!) more songs from our "lady of the night!!!"...

The greatness in this tragedy is how our company is working to cure both sides of this problem and let the power of the people always be the lead. There is SO much waste going on in the convergence of Video.

It is great to have the Internet being a vehicle that allows for a much faster, Global, raw and robust Video experience but anyone that believes it is their "right" to be given this without some type of advertising or premium fee attached is living in Neverland. To survive we need advertisement.

Advertising works when it is what we WANT to see and is relative to the content that we see. Not when it is a SWAG done by Media Buyers and Content Delivery Companies and THEIR best assumed interests, whether they are Broadcast TV or Internet Networks. This will all change soon enough. What will be cool, is that I will be able to see advertisements for things that interest ME, are related to what I watch and not the MASSES. This all can be achieved in the near future. We are working as fast as we can. It will be cool I tell ya.

Meanwhile I got to see these person sing...

Also in closing, YT made plenty of $$$ off the ads within their pages during the views. That is their business model after all. 99% of their revenues come via Ad Words.

why is author so much into money? I know money solves 99% of your problem and the revenue system for susan boyle video should be there so as to exploit the so called technological-unaware-people( as a lot of viewers don't click on adds anyways). even if it isn't there - can't the author leave this topic, if he can't he should be the richest man in the world to defend it.

YouTube already has pre-rolls on some of their videos, so I'm thinking there's some bad info at the heart of this post. It makes sense that YouTube would resist demands to implement pre-rolls since the move could negatively impact traffic, but since they're already in place there must have been some other reason why they couldn't finalize a deal.

Here's an example of a YouTube pre-roll:

It's certainly going to have members of both corners blushing, but I assume ITV may be happy to wait for the release of Susan's next performance, and throw as much advertising into that.

If this is so, or not, makes no difference to fact they have missed out. A couple of million dollars would make a massive impact for ITV and I would agree that such a sum of money could be the difference of their survival.

To say that this is a win for ITV on the assumption that they can now secure advertising for future shows... that may be the case for Britian's Got Talent, but across the board ITV have seen almost all their large advertising pull out. So I'm sceptical as to what impact this may have.

At the end of the day I'd love ITV to capitalise from this. If they can rake in some much need cash then fantastic. Either way this will hopefully have been the new media wake-up call they needed.
