Hey guys, a few changes are going to be happening around nowlive very soon!
The entire interface of the homepage will be updated within the next few weeks and the way things are featured and rising will transform a lot.
We're going to suspend The Best Show for a while because of all of the user complaints about the current process. It will be back eventually as a more community based process, allowing the best member and best show to rise to the top based on factual stats, without being a popularity contest of sorts. This should be coming soon!
We're still rolling out the cam functionality, soon the hosts will have complete control over who is on cam, push cams to the users, etc. It will be more production quality in which the hosts can push people off cam and so on.
We will also be putting out the new profile pages very soon, they are much more customizable. You'll be able to pick which content you want displayed, how you want to view the things on the profile such as bulletins and so on. They should be very neat and clean!
Stay tuned! Don't forget to catch the awesome line-up tonight, featuring Adrianne Curry's show at 6pm PST as well as That's Estertainment directly after!
Next week we'll have Marty Keegan on, following Ester with Hollywood Babble-On at 9pm PST! Don't miss out! Can't wait to see you guys around!!
It's been a while since the last blog, sorry guys! We're
preparing for some big updates and changes, and right now, Heathermfingb is
going to be taking a big leap into the community and managing things. If you
have support issues, questions about your user show, getting featured, getting
a show in the ticker, etc, send your messages to support@nowlive.com or private
comment Heather's profile (www.nowlive.com/heathermfingb) and she'll try to get
back to you with a solution.
Heather is the new person to suck up to, people!! Try not to make her head any
bigger though, we're worried about it fitting into the studio.
 Chey's 1 year anniversary !!!!!

Studio Lineup Tonight Wednesday Oct. 17th:
New Features: I have been getting a lot of questions about our new video features...yes they are coming soon. If you want to see a very early Beta tune into O'rly Factor Sunday-Thursday nights at 10pm PST. You ask what is this feature...let me explain:
- Each host will have the ability to run their video stream as well as allow three other active streams from all over the world. The host will control who is on and off to have full control of their production. So as a caller comes in, turn on their cam...when they are done you can turn it off...this is in the final testing phases and once all features are in we will open it up to our community.
Nowlive is going to Disneyland:
Yes its true...November 3rd members are getting together to have a big Disneyland event...The person that is putting it all together is RIPPER. So leave him a comment and he can get you the details...and I expect some remote shows and many pics LIVE from the event!!!
 Sam Horrigan is going to start a Beauty and the Geek show weekly on NowLive starting next week!!! To break him in, he is appearing tonight on THE LOVE DROP with Peanut and Butterball...THIS SHOULD BE FUN!!! Stop by and welcome Sam as he will discuss his time of the show and take phone calls from his fans.
And members, wanna help? Go hang out in the Beauty and the Geek forum sites and post some links spreading the word of the show tonight...
OK...I finally started getting to my comments and realize I have been a flake not getting back with people. Very sorry and its not that I have been lazy, just busy. And I know many people have requested or have been promised featured show status with no real feedback...again sorry!!
 We had a problem with weekend features...with the hosts scheduling shows during the week and THEY WOULD SHOW UP FEATURED!!! So we are making changes so that does not happen in the future. We are also changing the complete home page so featured shows will appear differently...but we are still trying to move forward!! BUDDHA has inherited the job of managing the featured shows and please send her a comment at her NowLive profile if you have been promised a weekend feature and have nothing to show for it (and don't lie...I have them written down). Also if you are interested in being featured, let her know, but we are going to make it based in the future on traffic so please understand. Many things are changing and the successful shows will rise to the top at Nowlive!!
Here's a quick update:
- We Have a New Studio...bigger and better
- Some NEW Shows starting this week (Heroes, Sam from "Beauty and the Geek", and SmallChange with Drew Seely from "High School Musical"
- End of October we will be broadcasting LIVE from the World Cup of Paintball in FL!!! Ryan is going to get so shot!!!
- More "REMOTE BROADCASTS" we are taking it on the road and you will see many field reports using our unique platform to broadcast anywhere, anytime!!!!
- And just wait until you see our new features...they should be showing up any day!!!
An opportunity for our hosts:
We are getting asked daily to do LIVE broadcasts throughout the country and we cannot support all the requests (like the Emmy's, Playboy Mansion, and Paintball events). With a little investment on your part, you could become a MOBILE BROADCASTING AFFILIATE of NowLive. THIS COULD BE A NICE PAYING SUPPLEMENT TO YOUR INCOME. What you need: a small laptop (I love Sony Vaio!!), a video Camera (firewire preferred), a cell phone, and a broadband card for your laptop (we love Sprint!!). If you are interested, drop me a comment and we can get you details on the preferred products...but for around $2000-$3000 of equipment and $60 per month added wireless cost you could be in business!!!
Show Ideas which we are hoping to see:
- Video game shows- broadcast your LIVE games while having callers with interaction and discussion
- Popular TV show Discussions - Reality TV, Heroes, Lost, Soap Operas, Dancing with the Stars...if you pick a popular show that you enjoy and run a great talk show, people will come!!
- How To Shows - Use the NowLive platform to create shows to teach!! Cooking, DIY, Tutoring, Golf Lessons, Art, ...!!
 Can is be too good to be true? The only TV show Bigdog leaves Nowlive for is Heroes, and guess who is coming in...The Haitian!!!!! The idea is a call-in talk show discussing your favorite TV show with Jimmy...where he will let everyone know what it is like being part of Heroes!! And the hope is that each week we can bring in other cast members for all the fans of the hit TV series...let everyone know, go to the heroes forums and post links....tonight chat and speak live with The Haitian...all at Nowlive!!
 Yes...its true bigdog has died and gone to heaven...this Friday and Saturday we will be streaming LIVE coverage of the first ever Mixed Martial Arts Event from the Playboy Mansion!! Here are the details:
We are bringing back Peter (the awesome camera man) from the LIVE EMMY event to broadcast Fri and Sat...Fri...we will stream live from the weigh-in in Beverly Hills from 2pm-4pm PST, then that night from 8pm-11pm PST at the MMA Pre-Party!!! Then Sat night from 7pm-11pm PST we will be all over the Playboy Mansion with LIVE reporting from the red carpet, the fight, and anywhere else we are allowed!!!! It should be quite the experience for all...so do not miss it!!!!
EVENT PRESS RELEASE
BEVERLY HILLS, California - Strikeforce is headed to the world-famous Playboy Mansion here on September 29th.
Amongst those slated for action at the home of Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner are undefeated Strikeforce world lightweight (155 lb. limit) champion "El Nino" Gilbert Melendez and UFC and Pride Fighting Championship veteran Josh "The Punk" Thomson.
The 10-bout fight card will also host the return of Strikeforce world light heavyweight (205 lb. limit) champion and "The Ultimate Fighter" season one runner-up Bobby Southworth, as well as the return of former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) star and Tough Enough 2 reality show winner Daniel Puder.
"This is another leap forward into mainstream America for Strikeforce and the sport of mixed martial arts," said Scott Coker, CEO of West Coast Productions, LLC, the parent company of Strikeforce. "We feel honored that Mr. Hefner chose the Strikeforce brand to entertain an audience at his home and we're looking forward to putting on an incredible show."
The event at the Playboy Mansion will be staged three months after the Strikeforce co-produced "Shamrock vs. Baroni," extravaganza, the first mixed martial arts event to be distributed live on SHOWTIME(r) PPV. Before a crowd of 10,850 at San Jose's HP Pavilion, former UFC middleweight champion and mixed martial arts legend, Frank Shamrock, became the first Strikeforce middleweight champion in history by choking out UFC and Pride veteran, "The New York Badass" Phil Baroni, in the second round of the star-studded fight card's main event on Friday, June 22nd.
