In the bad old days, if you want to get a show on TV you had to head to Hollywood, suck up to guys with more pinky rings than sense, and pimp yourself out for years before getting your dream on the air.
The alternative? Local access cable. Party on Wayne.
But the internet has changed all that. Now anyone with a dollar and a dream (and a video camera) can create entertaining, compelling and fascinating content - and then post it for all the world to see. Alas, just because you put it up doesn’t mean you’ll build an audience.
That’s where we come in. Our Revision3 shows have proven that all kinds of concepts, shows and hosts can build big audiences. But there are way more shows than even we can bring through Revision3’s destination site. But we want to help the next crop of talented show producers develop their skills and find and audience. So today we’re launching Revision3 Beta, our farm team of up and coming shows.
This is not just another user-generated video site. Not anyone can become a Revision3 Beta show. We’re going to be hand picking a small group of shows with promise, and then we’ll be launching them inside our new Revision3 beta destination site - and then helping them to develop. Who’s leading the way here? None other than the internet’s Martin Sargent, who along with being an amazingly creative show host and producer is gifted at spotting and nurturing creative talent.
Got a show you’ve been slaving over? Head over to Revision3 Beta and upload it for Martin to look at. Even if we don’t pick it up for Revision3 Beta, he’ll spend some time giving you feedback and helping you craft the next best thing.
What sort of shows will you find on Revision3 Beta? We’re not saying yet - but we’ve got a half-dozen cool new shows lined up that we’ll be launching in mid September, right on the Revision3 Beta site.
Oh, and one last shout out to the great folks at Viddler, one of our favorite online video destinations. Revision3 Beta is powered by Viddler, which will make it simple to create, upload, watch and promote our new lineup of shows.
So if you’ve got a great show, upload it to Revision3 Beta today. And look for our mid-September launch of the first crop of what we’re confident will become the next big things in Internet Television.

This sounds great, I’m excited to check out what is considered “up and coming”, as well as possibly getting my show up for consideration..hahaha..
I have ton’s of buddies that will be submitting their content… This is genius!
on word “NO”!.
we have these kind of sites already and btw, the color theme sucks.
The key point is that revision3 doesn’t have one these kinds of sites. And because its under the wing of rev3 it wont be total crap…Martin Sagent’s shows wtf, no wonder Gator wanted out and committed suicide lol… On the business end, it just makes things that much easier to find new podcasts to sign, they get all this cheap content and attract a broader audience. My only request rev3….don’t even think about signing leo laporte!
This is GREAT! I’m a big fan of Rev3 and all the information offered/ exchanged …. and all the more because it circumvents the ring tapping geniuses.
Now come on Johnnytturbo be nice to Leo
Why was my comment deleted? Am I not allowed to state my opinion, that I personally think this is a bad idea? Revision3 works better as a internet channel and putting out shows, not trying to be the next-grab them all up media company. Look at all the new shows that have been coming to Revison3, acquisitions, not new content. Let’s face it not all content exactly meshes with Revision3, (Wine Library, & Epic Fu, I’m looking at you.)
Good day chaps.
Awh, wish I wasn’t a total idiot when it comes to making something that involves an idea. I suck at ideas. xD
