— LEADING INTERNET TV NETWORK ADDS AREA 5 MEDIA’S VIDEO GAME PROGRAM TO WEEKLY LINEUP —

San Francisco, CA – March 10, 2009 – Revision3, the TV network for the Internet generation, today announced the addition of CO-OP to its show roster. A dynamic discussion-focused video game and gaming culture show, CO-OP maintains a devoted following and features popular hosts and former 1UP critics Ryan O’Donnell and Matt Chandronait. The first episode is available now at http://www.revision3.com/coop.

“Revision3’s audience is tech savvy, pop culture hungry and video game obsessed,” said Ryan Vance, Vice President, Programming & Production, Revision3. “CO-OP is the perfect complement to our line-up, rounding out a list of top shows that cover the ins and outs of technology, comic books, web culture and more. As a longtime fan of the Area 5 guys, I’m excited to expose their unparalleled access and unique vision of the video game world to all of our viewers.”

CO-OP was born from Area 5 Media, LLC, a collection of film geeks, videographers, musicians, animators and gamers. Named after the final level of the popular video game Rez, Area 5 founders created their hit show straight from their living room. The program presents a weekly look at the meaningful, important, interesting and just plain fun games on the market—or soon to be.

“After a grueling partner review process, Revision3 clearly emerged as our ideal network partner. On the forefront of the Internet television movement, Revision3 was peanut butter to CO-OP’s jelly, and best of all, the company is made up of people every bit as excited and passionate about the possibilities of new media as the Area 5 team has always been,” said Matt Chandronait, Co-Founder, Area 5 Media.

The CO-OP hosts are former creators of The 1UP Show for 1UP.com, which quickly grew into the most popular video game video podcast of its time. The team holds to its mission of providing the highest quality content in dedication of their passion for gaming and love of their fans.

Future episodes of CO-OP will air Tuesdays at http://www.revision3.com/coop.
