Conan O’Brien was on the Charlie Rose show tonight, and I felt some of the discussion correlated strongly to entrepreneurial blogging.
O’Brien commented on the success of programs like the daily show, and how late night hosts now have the luxury to be much more specialized in their approach and content.
Rose agreed and expanded by discussing how over the years he’d been skeptical when highly topical channels like the Food Network and Golf Network etc. emerged. Rose originally thought that niche networks couldn’t make it, but is now a believer. He commented that for all the networks he doubted “In every case, specialization has succeeded.”
I’m working on a panel to be held our next event right now, and am bringing in some niche bloggers to discuss how specialized sites can get and still make money.
