  • bud.tv was a marketing venture of the Anheuser-Busch brewing company (the manufacturers of the Budweiser beer brand) in the form of an online entertainment network. The project, which was launched in February 2007 just after the American Super Bowl, was rumored to cost more than $30 million in its first year. The head of the project, as well as its originator, was Jim Schumacker, an executive at A-B. The first attempt by a consumer product company to launch a full-scale TV network with original long-form programming online, the project was met with great anticipation and interest among media and marketing professionals. It failed to attract the expected number of visitors in its first month of operation, however. In May 2007, A-B contemplated changing strategies to make their content more portable and accessible to users. Rather than forcing users to come to the site, A-B worked on distribution initiatives with partners to email alerts to fans when and where content is airing. Despite expectations that it might fold by the year's end, Bud.tv lasted until February 2009 before finally shutting down. Possible causes for the site's initial low viewership include a lack of compelling content, the inability to easily share content, and a difficult-to-use age verification system. The site's age verification firewall required users to enter personal information from government-issued identification, such as driver's license, before registering in order to discourage under-aged visitors. The site was "sunsetted" in February 2009, officially due to the cost, effort and focus required to maintain an entertainment site of this scale. (en)
