I came several news items this week on NewTeeVee centered on web video creators. First, EQAL, the studio behind Lonely Girl, announced their hit series Kate Modern would conclude. Later in the week, the studio announced a deal with CBS with first rights to their content as well as be involved in web production for CBS series.

The Obama Girl team also appears to be moving up to the big leagues as well, signing a deal to produce a feature film. Jupiter has been exploring at the role of original web content and how its fits into the Internet Television Value Chain.

I’ll get an opportunity to explore many more of the issues around web series on a panel at Streaming Media East next week. Hope to see many of you at the conference. Enjoy the weekend!
