paidContent has a look at internet video production houses blowing up in the recession:
Ripe started three main brands – RipeTV (men’s entertainment), OctaneTV (auto), and FlowTV (urban) – but was bleeding money, as evidenced from brief statements in Heart-Argyle’s SEC filings. This continues the mini-bloodbath in the online original video entertainment space, with others such as ManiaTV and 60Frames shutting down earlier this year as well. Maybe someone ought to do a rollup of the remaining assets, for whatever that’s worth.
