Free TV is the future for online video sites. Youtube the mega popular but ‘under earning’ video sharing website, is still five years after being created looking for a reliable revenue model. And the simple fact is that user created content just does not make great viewing.

Although User generated video makes up most of video viewed the most revenue is made from catch up TV websites such as Hulu. The view is that by 2012, advertising led free TV shows and movies will account for 10% more viewers than user generated videos.

Youtube although dominating the online video market has found that monetization of online video on a free distribution model has proven to be difficult. However free TV video makes more money.

Websites showing Free premium TV such as Hulu will always be more popular to an eager to view public than watching a guy blow his nose or make a funny noise from his left ear.

Google, Youtubes owner knows this and is hosting much more premium TV content such as TV shows and movies.

Media companies and online TV and video sites know this is the case so expect to see less user generated videos and more Free TV content on a PC near you soon.
