What does it mean for Tekzilla?

[boldfire]

This is aimed at Pat, Veronicazilla, Serafina and Jolly Roger mostly, and I appreciate its 99.99% too early to comment, but what does the changes at Revision3 mean for Tekzilla..

1) Is it going to be going for much longer?
2) Will Patrick and Veronica still be presenting?
3) Being one of 3 or so studio shows are you going to be doing more episodes?
4) Likewise, will you be taking advantage of the now freely available floor space?
5) Will you be changing days it airs?

I hope you guys keep doing what you're doing, and sorry for the loss of your colleagues today.

1) It probably will...I'd bet Tekzilla is Rev3's 2nd or 3rd most profitable show (After diggnation and possibly TRS)
2) I'd bet...They seem to have very good chemistry and Patrick's at least probably staying on cuz of Systm.
3) Probably not as there's a lot of prep involved and finding time for everyone to be available for recording. 3hrs a week is easy...even more...not so much.
4) I'd have no idea. I'd say probably not because they may be introducing new shows and need the floor space for that.
5) If the # of episodes per week doesn't change, the point for this would be what exactly?

With Pixel Perfect gone from the Monday schedule it seems more logical (in my head) to have a Monday-Friday schedule than a Tuesday-Saturday one. Though in reality the awareness of the Saturday slot likely outweighs that.

but Monday still has Systm and the dailies (At least Tekzilla daily)...Saturday only has Tekzilla. Also, my guess would be that since the Saturday show hasn't been late once (in my experience), it's on a cronjob to post at noon so no one has to be in the office unless they refresh rev3.com at 12:01PM (EST) and don't see the episode there. Even if that happens, i'm sure they can probably SSH into one of the servers and post the show manually.

What does it mean for Tekzilla? Nothing. We're all still here, and there probably won't be any changes. The release schedule might be shuffled around bit, but other than that, you won't notice any differences.

The idea behind the changes was to keep Rev3 alive, and Tekzilla's a big part of that. :)

I'm not saying Tekzilla will remain static forever, but as far as the changes that happened yesterday, Tekzilla's not directly affected.

Thanks for clearing it up!

According to JlouberB on TWIT, "Tekzilla" gets more unique downloads per month than "Diggnation." Couple that with the notion that the files tend to be smaller, "Tekzilla" has a larger cash income than "Diggnation." Of course, "Tekzilla" is more costly to produce. The studio and set are a sunk cost but it has a larger production staff.

That's including the dailies.

Still, that's very interesting and a great achievement. Well done crew!

I'm actually intregued about the dailies. I personally don't watch them - they're very short and seems a bit pointless to me but they have been running for a while. Are they actually popular? If so, why do you not have sponsors running on them?

All I have to say is thank god. I don't think I could stand not watching tekzilla. Patrick and veronica are a great team it would never be the same if either one of them left. I am still waiting for patrick to take out the sledge hammer on the show. I want to see some smashed up computers baby lol.

We do!

[boldfire]

Shows how often I watch them :D Sorry about that, should have checked.
That's pretty decent then, every little helps!

I realized that, actually. Indeed, I figured that was the only way it could be true. However, Popsiren and IS both had daily incarnations and couldn't make the same boast. Be proud of yourself. :)

That's good. I'd hate to have to fly out there and slap someone around :D
