TELEVISIONATION: Colin Petrie-Norris, AI Creators: Real Money, Real Distribution with Fairground.tv

April 19, 2026

I sat down with Colin Petrie-Norris, CEO of Fairground.tv, to talk about a shift the industry can’t ignore: AI-generated content is starting to enter the real distribution ecosystem.

With placements across platforms like Roku, Xumo, Canela, and Stir, Fairground is moving beyond experimentation—while also launching a creator competition backed by actual prize money, designed to seed a new pipeline of AI-native content.

We get into what this means for platforms, programmers, and advertisers, why long-form storytelling is the real battleground, and how quickly this could evolve into a viable content supply chain.
