Revision3 is a
San Francisco-based
multi-channel Internet television network that creates, produces and distributes
Web television shows on niche topics. Founded in 2005, it has been operating as a subsidiary of
Discovery Digital Networks since 2012. The network has primarily technology-based shows hosted and produced by
Patrick Norton, and gaming shows hosted and produced by
Adam Sessler. The network also creates and hosts comedic, political, DIY, and movie-related content. The name refers to the revisioning of video programming, according to founders
Jay Adelson and
David Prager. The first revision was
cable television, adding general interest channels, catering to the "most common denominator." The second revision was PC-based Internet video, independent films, no business model, no loyalty, no audience. The third revision or Revision3 is TV and Internet converged. iPods, TiVo, mobile, and broadband enable mass, loyal audiences to shift to on-demand, niche content.
