…public TV stations are taking more risks, and on Wednesday they introduced a fancy video portal at PBS.org/video. It replaces a hodgepodge of sites, with different features, run by the producers of each of the network's programs and by its member stations.
The sleek animation and the features of the site will be familiar to users of Hulu, the NBC-Fox joint venture. You can search and browse among thousands of programs, contributed both by PBS and its member stations. You can watch full episodes, and also search for clips and segments.
The site is built on new technology that will also allow users to upload video, make comments and otherwise interact with the site and one another. For example, in conjunction with the Ken Burns documentary series "The National Parks," which will be introduced this fall, users will be invited to upload videos of parks.
