Hmm… WTF:
Revision3 is the first media company that gets it. Born from the Internet, Revision3 is a TV network for the web, creating and producing shows for a new audience: passionate fans who want to watch shows about technology, modern culture and music that entertain, educate and help to expand their life experiences.
With more than 35 million downloads, Revision3’s shows can be found everywhere from Revision3.com to a wide range platforms, including Apple iTunes, Bittorrent, DivX, YouTube, and PyroTV. Shows can be watched on any device, from a cell phone to an Apple Nano, on a computer or a TV.
The company was founded in 2005 by technology visionaries Kevin Rose, Jay Adelson and David Prager, because they couldn’t find anything they wanted to watch on traditional television. The company is now led by Internet TV pioneer Jim Louderback.
I added the boldface and italics above.
News Corp. - amongst other things, buyer of MySpace parent Intermix in 2005, struck a $900M ad deal with Google the subsequent year. They don’t get media.
NBC Universal - owner of what is arguably the biggest and most valuable movie and TV library, refused to drink bong water and totally open up library to pirates, partnered with News Corp. to launch industry sweetheart Hulu. They don’t get media.
CBS - launched the CBS Interactive and catapulted reach to over 100M uniques. Then avoided the UGC / social media hype train to pay $1.8B for CNET, one of the most valuable independent network to propel selves to Top 10 Media Property status. They don’t get media.
Disney - Printing money on ABC.com, ESPN.com and Disney.com, on their own terms and laughing all the way to the bank. Nope, they don’t get media, either.
Hum… memo to Kevin Rose, Jay Adelson, and in particular Jim Louderback, puh-lease drop that first line. You lose all credibility right there.
