New video portal for RDS (2)
RDS.ca has launched yesterday Zone Video, a video section with lots of content. Hockey is the super star sport of course here, but there are also some baseball, football, ski and tennis videos.
The interface is flash-only, with a TV-like experience. RDS is obviously trying to prevent viewers to go to youtubeLand and stick to rds.ca. However, if you go the new section, you will ask for more interactivity and more openess. You need to register and answer to a marketing poll to get to the video section. You can’t comment the videos, you can’t bookmark or send a video to a friend, you can’t see what are today’s videos or what’s popular.
RDS is asking a lot here. Of course, their users are already addicted and they will welcome eagerly the video. Did I say RDS.ca has a 96% user engagement rate, with 55% of viewers rated as regulars, and 42% rated as addicts?
