ChannelFlip update

Monday, April 21st, 2008

Hi guys,

Just wanted to give you a quick update on ChannelFlip as we’ve had inboxes full of people asking - “Wherefore art thy new shows?”

We have been working like crazy behind the scenes to do a number of very cool things - redesigning the look and feel of our website, getting up and running in a new video production studio, hiring some new peeps and cutting some cool deals that will mean you can see ChannelFlip in all sorts of places. Unfortunately, we don’t have the hands to do everything at once and so we have had to put the shows on hiatus for a couple of weeks.

However, we are now just at the stage where we are going to be back up and running with a stonking amount of awesome new content - so stay tuned, the best is yet to come!

-Wil.

New Killing Time

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

Hi folks,

New episode of Killing Time today, looking at the best way to maximise your drinks cupboard! You can find it, for now, at Killing-time.blip.tv. We are working to get it integrated into the ChannelFlip player, above, but the code is being a pain at the moment! Rest assured, we are also taking on board your feedback about the show to improve it.

We appreciate that our show schedule is a little slower than normal at the moment. Please bear with us - good stuff is coming, and more of it than ever!

Many thanks for your continued support,

-Wil

The Big 5-0!

Monday, February 11th, 2008

Wow! So today we hit 50 episodes of our shows, making for 150 in total. That is a fantastic number and I’m absolutely delighted that you guys have watched enough of our shows to make this worthwhile. We are working hard to make sure that the next 50 are very cool indeed - there is plenty happening behind the scenes here at CFHQ - so stay tuned!

Many thanks for all your support.

Unwired update

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

Hey folks, new episodes of Discus and Play:Digital are up today, watch them above! For fans of Unwired, sit tight - the show will be up tomorrow with an on location report from the launch of a cool new device here in London today. It’ll be worth the wait!

Cheers, -Wil

Shows are up!

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

Hey folks,

Just to let you know that the new shows for today are up in the Flash player above, as well as on the regular iTunes and RSS feeds.

As part of the technical changes I mentioned on Monday, we’ve changed the format of the iTunes download - rather than being an H.264 MP4 as it was, it is now an MPEG4 .mov.

This should be absolutely transparent to everyone in terms of actually playing the file in iTunes or on an iPod/iPhone, but if you have any problems, do let me know (wil at channelflip.com).

Cheers, Wil

Status update!

Monday, January 28th, 2008

Hey guys!

As you will known if you’d listened to TWiT this week, ChannelFlip has been going bananas over the past few weeks - with hundreds of thousands of views of our videos and some amazing interest in what we’re doing.

Unfortunately, all of that has taken its toll on our infrastructure, most of which was hastily cobbled together by yours truly at the back-end of last year in a mad rush to get this thing online.

So, whilst we spend a couple of days making some tweaks to the way we make and upload video for ChannelFlip, there won’t be any new shows going out today - but rest assured that normal programming service will be resumed on Wednesday. In the meantime, browse back through our show archives and check out the episodes you’ve missed!

Thanks for the understanding guys and gals - we are working super hard here to make CF.com bigger and better than ever! Stay tuned…

-Wil

New episodes

Monday, January 21st, 2008

Another three new episodes for you today, which you can watch, as always, above! Wil takes a look at Ning, the whitebox social networking service; Katharine playtests The Club, a brawling 360 shooter; whilst Justin busts out the chopsticks for Rush Hour 3.

Meanwhile, behind the scenes we are working on a few exciting projects, including a website redesign, some new shows and lots, lots more. Stay tuned for some cool stuff coming up shortly!

ChannelFlip in the Sunday Times

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

After our previous brush with fame in The Independent, it seems the rest of Fleet Street is waking up to the fact that online TV is where it’s at. We’re mentioned in this piece in the ST about the future of television (in the same paragraph as FunnyOrDie, natch).

Scratch another notch on the CF bedpost, we’re taking on the world…

Stay tuned for the new eps on Monday.

ChannelFlip Christmas Message

Monday, December 24th, 2007

Hey folks, hope you enjoy the little Christmas piece we put together. As we mentioned in the video, we’ll be back on January 7 with some great new content for you. The video has gone out on the three feeds, so apologies to those of you who get it multiple times - sorry for screwing with your bandwidth!

In the mean time, have a great holiday!

Oh, and a big hello to all the new folks who have found us since Unwired was featured on the front page of iTunes. Be sure to check out our other two shows!
