Excerpt: There are reportedly three concerns about launching an SNL site. First, most of the show's recent ratings increase can be attributed to the election, which will be over by the time any site could be built. Second is the ability to get legal clearances for classic sketches (especially those involving music). And finally there is the question all video sites face — could it generate enough money? Those are valid concerns, but they pale in comparison to the opportunity the web presents Saturday Night Live. As noted, its biggest hits in recent years became so only after appearing on the web. The web could also provide the show with a farm team for sketches. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
