(2) by providing everybody a free to view streaming platform containing only the best emerging talent and quality content.

Types of Account

Both are part of this media movement. To become a creator on MeeTV you have to submit a video file that will be viewed by a MeeTV Creator or MeeTV team member to establish you are a quality creative. The content can be anything as long as it's well made and within the realms of decency. All successful submissions will become MeeTV creators. Being a creator gives access to the creators only area, a right to upload on MeeTV, and access to the secure creators only creative space (that will eventually evolve into a SMGCC, Self Moderating Global Creative Community, or as near as we can get to that).
Creator applications require zero qualifications except the ability to produce quality content, on any subject, either professionally made or phone made. Quality is the key.
