Vmix/DirecTV Partner to Put Web Videos on TV

Video site Vmix has signed a deal with DirecTV that will enable them
to put selected web videos on TV, reports Red Herring.

Users can submit videos to a section of the Vmix website, where they
will be considered for use on DirecTV's show The Fizz. This is an
effort by DirecTV to move beyond the established user-submission
community. It's also an opportunity for Vmix to position itself as a
powerful distribution outlet in the media world.

DirecTV currently pays select creators up to $200 for submissions but
it is not clear whether Vmix content creators will be eligible for the
same compensation.
