Abstract:
				
					
						| 
 
The case discusses the launch of Bud.TV and the reasons behind its inability to 
retain the initial number of unique online visitors on its site. Bud.TV promoted 
by Anheuser-Busch, was launched with fanfare after the Super Bowl and was 
eagerly awaited for its direct-to-consumer approach to marketing. Bud.TV had 
seven online channels each featuring a different genre of programs. The content 
was provided by some of the well known media companies and companies owned by 
Hollywood celebrities. In the first month of its launch, Comscore Media Metrix 
reported that Bud.TV was able to attract only around 253,000 visitors.
