Recorded May 13, 2020 TVOT/ITVT is pleased to present another episode of “Televisionation,” our new video/audio podcast exploring the advanced/interactive-TV industry in the Coronavirus/Covid-19 Era. This episode features David Goodfriend, Founder of Locast, a controversial, non-profit service that allows consumers to stream local broadcast TV. In the interview, which was recorded May 13th, Goodfriend discusses Locast’s rapid growth (it’s now available in 19 markets, including Puerto Rico, and claims over a million users), discusses its status as a non-profit and shares his thoughts on the importance of non-profits to the economy and society in general; explains why he feels Locast offers the public an important service, especially during the Covid-19 crisis; and more.
