TV Interviews via Skype

In the past two days I have been interviewed twice for U.S.-based broadcast outlets via Skype. While the video quality isn't quite as good as when it is shot onsite or in a studio, it is sufficient and TV stations do use it. I've been told that Oprah has been doing Skype interviews for over a year now.

Video interviews via Skype make a lot of sense as they save the stations time and money. Traditionally the stations drive a crew out to the office or the interviewee has to go down to a local studio. This costs time and can cost expensive studio and satellite fees.

Now, for little money and time investment at all, KRON in San Francisco and 11Alive in Atlanta had a McAfee security expert on TV when they wanted it. I am sure this will happen more in the future. You can see the clips below:
