Danwei TV outperforms Budweiser TVPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, April 14, 2007 11:18 PM
In an article titled Traffic Plummets at Struggling Bud.TV, Advertising Age gives some figures for American beer giant Budweiser's online video channel Bud.tv. Bud.tv's statistics are indeed underwhelming: Bud.TV drew 152,000 unique visitors last month, 40% fewer than February's 253,000 visitors, according to numbers released today by ComScore Media Metrix... Let's compare that to Danwei's figures: In March, Danwei.org drew 259,663 unique visitors while in February there were 258,410, both more than Bud.tv's all time high numbers for February. Danwei.tv's most popular program is Searching for Double Happiness which has got 272,092 views on Youtube, and 565,014 views on Chinese video sharing website 56.com. Our interview with Mu Zimei has got 277,214 views on Youtube, and has been so widely pirated on various Chinese video sharing websites that it has probably been viewed well over a million times. According to the Advertising Age article, bud.tv is "is costing the brewer somewhere between $30 million and $40 million". So the question is, who the hell are they paying for such lousy results? |

+ Three decades of public life in rural Jiangxi (2008.11): Xiong Peiyun writes about television, gambling, and religion in the small village where he grew up. + Mo Luo: Turning enemies into people (2009.06): Mo Luo, an essayist and poet, writes about dehumanizing the enemy. + Men behind the Nanny (2005.04): The Publicity Department (formerly known as the Propaganda Department) has held a "forum" in Beijing to promote what it calls "news editorial staff management regulations (in testing phase)". These regulations appear to be same the set of rules earlier reported on Danwei of which the stated intent is to clear up corrupt journalistic practices.

Comments on Danwei TV outperforms Budweiser TV
Has Bud.tv considered doing a "Sex in the City" satire? I know that show went off the air years ago, but I hear they are popular. Plus they write themselves. Can't miss, really.
PWNED!
Wow that's some awesome stats.
I forget sometimes that a lot of people visit this site. People just don't post often (people have lives I know). I think the reason is no forum/bbs thingy so you don't see a million topics on how many times you fart per day etc... It's a good thing...I don't think I want to know all the personal details on some of these danwei visitors...You positively do not want to know about my shenanigans, trust me.
just a guess Jay but are you by any chance Canadian?
Non
I rather kidnap da queen brah.
I kid, sorry.
What makes you think I'm Canadian?
Way to go, our Danwei!
