(First off, don’t you love the use of the Cavuto mark?) I’m not sure how I missed this in February, but a study by Borrell Associates found that newspapers are making more money off online video than TV stations.
From a MarketWatch blog:

The media research firm found that newspapers are making more money from online video advertising than local TV stations, $81 million to $32 million – almost 3 to 1. In each of three markets, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York, local advertisers spent more than $5 million for streaming video commercials.

This reminds me of a recent conversation on LostRemote.com where TV folks were upset that the blog was featuring more and more innovating things that newspapers are doing versus TV stations. The problem is most TV stations aren’t doing innovative things online. My best guess as to why is because most TV stations want all their online video to have the same production value as the video that goes on the broadcast show. Compare that to newspapers that are realizing the long tail and are working to get as much video up as possible. Or maybe newspapers are better at sending out press releases. OK fine I’ll admit, I’m now biased.

Thanks to Lucas Grindley for pointing it out in his post on how the Netflix move to “Watch Now” is a Sign of the Times (see I can still use TV brands).
