About Genealogy and The Genealogue announced the latest in Internet television (InternetTV): Roots Television. Kimberly Powell of About Genealogy describes it as:
The latest addition to InternetTV, Roots Television is an online channel, with short video segments and frequently updated blogs - both traditional written blogs, and video blogs, known as vlogs relating to genealogy, family history and heritage. Some of the programming at Roots Television is original, while some shows and films will be licensed content.
According to reports, some of the content will require a fee to view, but for the most part, the majority of the programming and content will be free.
To view the online video, Flash is required. You can get an introduction to Roots Television, check out the various genealogy blog feeds hosted by Roots Television, as well as vblogs or video blogs (they call them vlogs) on genealogy, and more information on Roots Television.
Currently, they lack any feeds to help keep up with the news and activities on the site, which is a horrible oversight. I hope they put some in very soon.
So far, Roots Television features a lot of cutesy stuff, but I look forward to more of the experienced and technical genealogy bloggers to get involved soon.
