Revision3--a company which bills itself as "an actual TV network for the Web," and which produces its own original, broadcast-quality programming--announced Tuesday that viewership of shows on its service climbed to nearly 1.5 billion minutes for 2009 (it says its shows were viewed nearly 70 million times during the year) and that, despite the recessionary economy, its revenues grew 30%. The company also said that, on the ad sales side, it "increased its average deal by 50%" and added such major brands as Klondike, Ford, Adidas, Coors, Patron, Nokia and Panasonic to its brand advertising roster.

AnySource Media, a company that offers an over-the-top-TV platform, called Connected HDTV, which it says will be embedded in certain new HDTV sets later this year (note: the company has not yet announced any partnerships with TV manufacturers) and will allow viewers to access hundreds of "virtual" on-demand channels, announced Wednesday that it has signed an agreement with affiliate rights aggregator, PathFinder World Video, to distribute video-on-demand content from 13 of the latter's ethnic and niche networks on a free or subscription basis.

Clearleap, an Atlanta-based company which offers a platform that is designed to enable pay-TV operators to significantly expand their programming line-ups by offering Internet video programming over their existing non-IP set-top boxes (the company claims to have raised $12.3 million in funding and financing to date), announced Monday that it is partnering with broadband video content providers, Next New Networks, Revision3 and blip.tv.
