I, for one, am tired of all the music, food, fashion, dieting, dating, celebrity, etc reality tv shows which currently exist and would love to learn something useful for a change. I’ve also observed that people enjoy watching “behind the scenes” footage. A look at the comments on any of the TechCrunch Cribs videos (http://bit.ly/gvEObR or http://tcrn.ch/g2i21X ) confirms this.
A tv show can also be beneficial to the startups themselves (just look at what Idols has done for musicians) Creates brand loyalty and early adopters of products You can get direct feedback from your audience during product development Viewers could give you advice or make suggestions if your stuck … you don’t have to do it alone!
[An incentive to the Y Combinator team, the show could make money from both subscriptions (per episode/weekly/monthly/year) and advertisements, think about it]
How many of you guys would, would be interested in watching such a show? What would you want to see during the show? What reality show format would be best for Y Combinator? (try and give an example of tv show)
