Amanda, Am angle I might take with ABC is to just let you setup your own vlog where you can post the weekly videos (and anthing else you might care to contribute) on it with proper RSS feeds. They can still incorporate your videos into that god-awful ad-ridden abyss of a popup window UI.... since thats the standard for the industry and I doubt you will get them to completely drop that approach. But to let you have this companion videoblog would be great and could even be used to compare views/subscribers between the two environments.... in which case you would have some good proof to show them (assuming the numbers are good/better than the standard VOD player thingie).
