Similar to the just-wrapped ITVFest in Los Angeles, NYTVF is taking a step further in bridging the
gap between traditional independent television and the emerging web television medium. The festival is bringing back what it calls Digital Day, which is an entire day of programming based around the online space. The festival runs from September 21-26 in Midtown Manhattan.Full list of selections (courtesy NYTVF):
