slivercasting

Slivercasing, or narrowcasting, is the transmission of video programming to a niche audience, often through relatively inexpensive means like streaming video over high-speed connections.

Slivercasting can be profitable because it enables highly targeted advertising aimed at specific demographics or interest groups.
