Where are the Earliest Interviews?
(Updated 1/28/25)
Our Ventura TV started in 2008. That’s when we began recording interviews for broadcast on Ventura cable channel 6 TV.
We started posting shows online in 2010.
However, there are numerous missing interviews from 2010. That’s because our earliest studio interviews were 30 minutes in length. At the time, YouTube only hosted 10-minute videos, so we couldn’t use that back then for our online archives.
Instead, our 30-minute interviews were hosted by a company called Blip TV. But they shut down in 2015 and all our earliest 30-minute archives disappeared with them, leaving only some shorts that were posted on YouTube, when YouTube was still an infant. So, those shorts turned out to be our oldest remaining archives, even though our earliest and primary productions were all interviews.
Later in 2010, YouTube increased upload lengths to 15 minutes. As a result, we reduced our studio interviews from 30 minutes to 15 minutes so we could use YouTube for hosting and that’s how our studio interview archives began in 2010.
(NOTE: in this context, ‘hosting’ means storing the video files. Although the same videos are ‘displayed’ on this website and other social media platforms, their actual home is on YouTube).
Later on, YouTube allowed much longer upload lengths, but we kept our studio interview length to 15 minutes.
In 2020, at the beginning of the pandemic, the studio closed and we moved our productions online to Zoom videoconferencing and reduced these online interviews to 10 minutes.
In brief, Our Ventura TV online archives go back to 2010 because that’s when we began posting them online (via Blip TV) and that’s when YouTube began to allow 15-minute videos.
