HBO TV show Premiere gets over 260,000 website views
HBO comedy show Flight of the Conchords got its season two premiere and had over 260,000 stream views during the past fourteen days.
The comedy website Funny or Die was given the privalege of airing the show after an agreement between them and HBO. Unsurprising considering HBO has a stake in the website.
The idea of streaming the episode early on the cult website was intended to create a buzz about the show, which does’nt have the widespread appeal of more mainstream shows.
Funny or Die
Funny or Die is a well known comedy video’s site that was founded by Gary Sanchez productions owned by comedian Will Ferrell and partner Adam McKay. It contains both original and user generated video content. Videos that are voted as being ‘funny’ stay on the site and those that are’nt, die and go to the crypt.
During its first season on HBO, the show was seen by over a million viewers.
This continues the growing trend of premiering shows on the internet before hitting traditional TV’s.
