MyCulture.tv features high-quality and culturally diverse web content. The focus is on content for people of color and aims to bring the highest standards by judging each piece on subject matter and quality. They will serve as a hub to showcase the best videos across the web, as well as a home for original web series produced by the parent company Tyler New Media.
More than just a web destination, MyCulture.tv is an Internet Broadcast Network which will serve as a central distribution platform for MyCulture.tv. Through partnerships, they aim to “reach millions via multiple Web access portals, blogs and set-top Web TV devices.”
This is actually a hot market for people of color. According to a recent study by Horowitz Associates, Inc., black people are actually more likely to watch tv on alternate platforms. This includes stuff like Apple TV, Smartphones, Netflix, Hulu, Vudu Box, Xbox, Wii, and some Blu-Ray DVD players.
The site features a light-weight web design that loads quickly and doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles. The home page features a grid of videos from various categories and channels. You can dig into these channels using the main menu to find videos on Faith, Relationships, Music, and more. You can find everything from 4Evermore by Anthony David to the man himself, Lamar Tyler, in his “The Gatekeepers are Gone” series. The Featured Shows section gives you a detailed view of some of the available content, including full size images and longer descriptions.
There are a couple of small design glitches with the menus, but the site is still in Beta at this time. Definitely a site I’ll be keeping an eye on as it develops and it would be awesome to have access to MyCulture.tv from a set-top box or gaming console.
MyCulture.tv does consider submissions based on the needs of the network. If your video content and quality are on point and you want in, check the site for details. Categories include: Lifestyle, Sports, Film, Music, Faith, Business and Motivation.
