Online Video Alert: Revision3 Removes Epic-Fu and Wine Library TV; Scoble Ponders a Restructuring
Update: I was able to catchup with Gary Vaynerchuk from Wine Library TV and asked him about the move today. He said, "I love REV3 and the people there and sometimes you need to adjust to the market and see what works and doesn’t and I love those guys and wish all of them super well and hope they Kill it and do nothing but awesome things! As for Wine Library Tv I will continue to Crush it on winelibrarytv.com everyday!"
Update 2: On the TWIT podcast last night, Mahalo CEO Jason Calacanis said regarding the staff size at Revision3, "30 (staff) is kind of high for that kind of company."
Revision3 has announced some major show changes today. Epic-Fu will no longer be carried by Revision3 at the end of December and the Wine Library TV show will be removed as of today. Several other shows have also been cut. CEO Jim Louderback also noted that they are working on a variety of new shows that may hit the lineup soon. Wine Library TV joined the lineup back in June with a slimmed down version of their daily show. Louderback notes the huge popularity of Diggnation as one of their "winners".
Mashable is also reporting that some staff members at Revision3 were fired today including their head of business development Damon Berger. It’s important to note that we will never know the real reason for these people being let go.
In other online video news, Robert Scoble has announced that he is "restructuring" his WorkFastTV show which is broadcast live from the Revision3 offices. No further details have been provided about this restructuring. I think the show has made some good overall progress since I provided my initial commentary and suggestions for improvement this summer. I’d like to see them make the site a bit more friendly. Remember that with video you could be sitting on the site for quite a while, make the appearance relaxing and engaging.







Quite unfortunate for Pixel Perfect, that was a great show.
Obviously Wine Library will barely make a dent, if not flourish (all the fans from the mini episodes will just move to the full size episodes).
