Revision3 to Launch Show Featuring the Best Videos on Digg

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Revision3, the TV network for the Internet generation, today announced the debut of The Digg Reel, the first television program showcasing highly rated user-submitted videos on Digg.com. From crazy stunts and biting satire to politics and world events, each week host Jessica Corbin will showcase some of the hottest videos submitted to the most popular social content site on the Internet and explain why these clips deserve their 15 minutes of Internet fame.

“It’s impossible for anyone to watch all the cool videos posted to the Internet every week”, said Jim Louderback, CEO of Revision3. “By harnessing the power of the Digg community, we can find and summarize the best of the best. Our new show is your one-stop-shop for the best of the web’s videos each week.”

With over 20 million unique visitors per month, www.digg.com has become the leading destination for people to discover and share the best news, images, and videos, from anywhere on the Web. From the largest online destinations to the most obscure blog, Digg surfaces the best content as voted on by the community.

“The huge popularity of videos on Digg demonstrates how the largest social content community can really help users find the best video content out there,” said Jay Adelson, CEO of Digg. “Revision3 will take it to the next level by giving viewers something they can’t get anywhere else—short clips from those videos, comments from our community, and a behind-the-scenes perspective.”

Each Wednesday The Digg Reel will bring together some of the top rated videos from Digg, including topics around world and business, technology, offbeat, and entertainment. In addition to highlighting the videos, the show will highlight the best comments from the Digg community. Corbin will also take viewers behind the scenes to meet the creators of videos so viewers will get their burning questions answered-- how, when, where and why the video was made.

Corbin is co-host of Revision3’s popular daily show Tekzilla and the former co-host of inDigital. Prior to joining Revision3, Corbin worked at TechTV where she served as lead anchor for the prime-time news program TechLive as well as making weekly remote appearances on CNN Headline News. She also hosted the series Movie Fanatix and has served as a panel guest on talk shows including ABC’s The View, CNN’s Larry King Live and American Morning, Fox Sport’s Best Damn Sports Show Period, and E! News Daily. In 2005 Corbin hosted the show Love's a Trip on the Style Network. In addition to her television work, Corbin is the co-founder of TheFempire.com.

Corbin says she’s been a Digg user for two years. “I dig Digg– it’s how I keep up to speed on what’s happening on the web. So I’m thrilled to be hosting The Digg Reel because it allows me to show everyone the great videos the Digg community is into.”

The debut episode of The Digg Reel will be available at www.thediggreel.com January 17^th at midnight eastern time. Subsequent episodes will become available every Wednesday at 4 p.m. eastern time.
