I'm counting Revision3 is @ 27 shows right now.

If Diggnation gets 10% of the views and 10% of the revenue on the network, they are one of the top shows on that network.

Sad to see it go. It was sometimes a good time killer.

I wonder if Kevin and Alex broke up, or one of them has unresonable expectations.

250k viewers each week and 10% of network revenues is not reason of cancel a show.



Six years of weekly shows (320+ episodes) probably is a reason. It would be a grind.


Kevin had tried to quit a few months ago, apparently without Alex's knowledge. Not sure why he wants out so bad, I think he just wants to rebrand his identity as more "serious" e.g. with Foundation, which is not nearly as entertaining as Diggnation.

Personally I think if the show had introduced a guest-interview element it could have gone big places.


Agree, but Foundation is still a cool production, great video quality and great guests. The only thing missing maybe better questions to the guests.


I take that back...

I just went to digg.com and realized that its become a gimp of it's former self, with front-page stories only getting 2-4 comments.

It must suck for Kevin to promote a dead project he is no longer associated with.
