Deco Drive Returns to the Internets

Published by admin on 5/25/2007 in Local Media.

5 minutes ago I was reading about PerezHilton raking $100k a month from advertising from such a no-brainer blog. Then as I digested the possibilites, I typed DecoDrive.com and surprise … Deco Drive has been rebirthed on the Internets! And it took them just 6-7 years.

The site’s nothing too fancy, follows the template from 7News, with re-purposed video of ‘Deco Dayside’ from ’7News at 4′ used as a preview for the show at 7:30. Somewhat confusing if you watch it a day later with that tag above saying “Tonight on Deco Drive”. A lot of AP stories and more video in the Deco News section from 7News broadcasts.

I’ve always wondered with the success of TMZ and Perez why aren’t they pushing Deco Drive more. It won’t make $100k a month but the potential is most definitely there since people already know the brand, and the show gets pretty good ratings. Get those interns to work they need the credits
