Thanks Bill for helpful insight into this subject, as well as the link to Jonnygolstein.com interview with Dina Kaplan. The thing is that I just brought up Brazil as an example. What I actually meant is demographic-targetted video ads. The show creators buy this backend video-ad serving software and handle the advertising themselves, of course it's harder this way, as opposed to having Blip.tv marketters handle it, but if the show has lots of monthly hits I think it's worth hiring a PR staff that will do all the business part in return for a share in the revenues.
