Earlier this month here I reported on HamptonRoads.tv, which is an online portal for citizen-contributed videos -- in that instance, operated by a newspaper (the Norfolk, Virginia, Virginian-Pilot). I wondered at the time why TV stations didn't think of this first.

Well, as columnist Dick Kreck reports for the Denver Post, Denver TV station KTVD-Channel 20 has gotten the participatory-media bug and is inviting its viewers to send in their homemade videos. Not only does KTVD have the videos on a special website, but it's also putting selected viewer videos on the air throughout the day -- as "filler" in between shows.

Kreck quotes KTVD producer Moss Cremer as saying he wants 30-second skits and "things that make you laugh," from stand-up comedy to computer animation to music videos.
