Re: [videoblogging] Revision 3 cuts back on shows including Epic Fu
Here's Steve's post from the Smashface blog http://blog.smashface.com/2008/10/epic_fu_and_revision3_parting.html If anybody deserves to score another distribution deal, it's them. I look on Epic FU as a blueprint for the future of television. They have loyal fans because they're doing good work - in their content and their engagement with their audience. It must be awful to have to let go of people who have given so much to the show - I know Rick Rey's been working hard for them for a long time. I hope they can afford to weather the storm until they find a less flaky distribution partner.

Re: [videoblogging] Revision 3 cuts back on shows including Epic Fu
I agree. Who knows what's going on behind the scenes at Rev 3. Perhaps they have a cashflow crisis, perhaps they had investments which have tanked. Who knows. They know they're mad to let go of these two shows - particularly after all the promotion they did when they signed them up - and I don't believe the shows have performed less well than predicted in terms of audience - so it must be because they simply can't afford to keep them on. I also find it hard to believe that there's a dearth of online advertising. I know it's a different market, but Google announced a 26% increase in net profit in Q3. And a 31% increase in revenues. Is that a flight to quality? Who knows.
