chnl.pilot

Good Evening, "chnl.pilot" was a 3 month sociological study conducted by Harvard University. We are now complete with our study.

Okay, we're only half joking. chnl.pilot was a short experiment by webchnl to give newer channels a chance to grow an audience and build up their networks. We are thankful for those that joined us for the journey along the way.

We wanted to give a huge shoutout to the channels that started with the chnl.pilot program that have since graduated to webchnl.

We invite you to check out our partner Elekta to continue tuning in to the Totalmusic family of channels.

Special thanks and more...

On a more personal note, I want to thank our Piloters for making chnl.pilot pretty awesome while it lasted. I do want to say thanks to n2637 with Blitz for being here until the very end. Godspeed and thank you for streaming. I also wanted to say thank you to CameronLM for helping test the service before it released to the public with the Cubby and Nook channels, and I hope to see them stick around. I also wanted to say thanks to Meli and Favc with 40media/Elekta Media for graciously supplying the Totalmusic channels to the service. It was an opportunity to reach out to an English-speaking audience and I do believe more people should tune in. So I'm going to link it again! Go listen to Totalmusic!!! Now!!! They have a great music video lineup across many genres!!!! Do it!!!

This service would have been nothing if not for the talented people behind the very channels it was built for.


This service meant a lot to me and the team, and it was a fair experiment. When creating chnl.pilot, it was really difficult to find alternative services that were willing to host other channels, so we used some of our spare resources from webchnl to set up something to make it easier for more people to get their channels off the ground. Running a service like this takes effort and costs us money out of our pockets, and we provide it free of charge to the community. With new, alternative services releasing, it makes running chnl.pilot redundant when there are plenty of other options out there. It is time for us to focus on what we do best, webchnl. I am incredibly thankful for the people that have made this service great for the three months we were able to pull it off. My heart goes out to every Piloter and for those that did not have a chance to fully launch their channels on the platform, I would love to work with you. Please keep in touch. You know where to find me.

We thank you for piloting this program with us and we hope to see you over on webchnl!
