Techcrunch just announced that Virgin America will start to broadcast Revision3 shows like Diggnation on their airplanes.
This is another major win for web video that shows that web video is not just about taking TV shows and put them on the web, but also about great content produced first for the web.
Even more interesting is the fact that the original ads that appear in the shows on the web will also be used on the flights. Will this push more mainstream advertisers into video ads?
Personally I always claimed that the real revolution is not about the big studios making their shows available on the web, but about web content going out of the web into the old mediums like the radio, newspapers and TV.
Think about it - The best articles and audio shows are already in blogs and podcasts. Why can’t we consume them in the old media (that lets face it, it is still more convenient in a lot of situations)?
