Anyone know how much funding they have gotten. I'm happy for them, but it doesn't seem like a big win.

The thought of TRS or some of their other shows showing up on cable makes me super happy




TOTAL $9M VENTURE FUNDING TOTAL $9M

Series A, 9/06 1 Greylock Partners - $1M

Series B, 6/07 2 Greylock Partners - $8M


It says "about $10m" in the 3rd paragraph.


Do you really think Discovery would sacrifice ratings juggernauts like American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior, The Devils Ride, or American Guns to air anything Revision3 makes? Yeah, unfortunately, me neither.

Sadly, I'm part of the reason, since I enjoy Deadliest Catch.


Discovery owns a lot more than a single channel - they own 13. It's possible that they could use these programs on Science, or maybe for a late night block on The Hub (as an Adult Swim competitor), or somewhere else.

(Or else not - it might be valuable to have Internet-only programs.)


A little off topic maybe, but I have literally never hear of any of those shows you listed..

OTOH, I do watch revisio3 shows from time to time and I can name many of their sponsors.
