TWiT, six years later

There was a cool story on GigaOM about the development and expansion of TWiT, the tech TV and podcast network built on the This Week in Tech podcast. Hard to believe that they're doing $3 million in revenue now. I've sometimes felt that Leo and some of his guests are too much in the bubble of the industry, but they still make content that interests me. I just haven't been consuming it much now that my commute is relatively short.

I have to say, I'm a little jealous. He's essentially reinvented the old TechTV network, on a fraction of the budget. As far as businesses that I would want to own, that would definitely be high on my list. It doesn't have the high margins of a straight Internet company, because that much video stuff is very capital intensive, but how could you not enjoy it?

It's a little strange that Leo is pushing the live angle. I always thought the value of what he did was in the download, to listen whenever. I mean, I don't even watch the nightly news live anymore. Should be interesting to see how that goes.
