The Window Channel
All that pressure to make money off of social media can make you want to chill out in front of a large-screen TV, watching high-definition video of relaxing scenery.
That's the premise behind the Window Channel. Based in Edmonds, it provides what executive Jim Wilmer calls an ambient, scenic video and auditory environment, which basically means static, soothing shots from around the world, all shot on location by HD cameras manned by Window Channel staffers and freelancers.
Right now the only place to see this is hotels, resorts, and hospitals. Window Channel has a couple of clients right now but that number will grow substantially November 1, thanks to a deal signed with the Hotel Network, which is in more than 1 million upscale hotels and resorts in North America.
But the ultimate goal is to have a broadcast channel airing this video and negotiations are underway with Comcast.
