wikiTV (or Wikitelevision) is a sketch of a project wich may result in a television channel from Wikimedia in the far future. This page is more a dream, a vision and science-fiction, rather than a concrete project suggestion.
In the future where WikiTV takes place many people have mobile cameras and cell phones from which they can submit moving pictures to the Wikimedia servers in a flash. On the Wikimedia sites, people can edit their own programs and reports using the new MediaWikiVideo-tools and watch their programs with broadband connections.
Latest news from Wikinews.
Once per hour the channel broadcasts an automaticly generated news report from Wikinews. Between these the WikiTV channel broadcasts documentaries and other knowledge-related programming produced by the different volunteers around the globe.
The programs will be avaiable both in a 24/7-running streamed channel and by downoading individual program streams from Wikimedia. If there is interest, satellite broadcasters may distribute the wikiTV-channels, as long as it follows the GNU FDL.
As time goes by there will be many channels. There will be main-WikiTV channels in many languages, but there may also be other channels, such as a dedicated news channel.
