I just listened to Catherine Girardeau interview Revision3 CEO Jay Adelson and Production Director David Prager. Here are my notes on the podcast:
Ambition
Adelson: "Our viewership potential is actually greater than television."
Growth
Adelson explains how he wants a slow, organic growth of loyal viewers: "We're not aiming to have billions of viewers overnight"
Girardeau: "Are you aiming to have billions of viewers at all?"
Adelson: "Yeah - absolutely."
Investment
50K personal investment then 1 million angel funding.
Downloads
1.5 million downloads / month (1 million of these are diggnation)
Most podcast/feed downloads are from iTunes Music Store. Downloads = Viewers because iTunes stops downloading from a feed if the user stops playing the files.
Advertising
18-34 men - "most covetted by advertisers"
Keeping Costs Low
Adelson: One thing I also don't want to do is throw a lot of money at it. Y'know, increase production values and so on. That doesn't buy me anything."
The podcast is here.
I previously discussed Revision 3 here.
