We’d like to offer up applause on the recent funding of a very visible member of the .tv community. Blip.tv just announced it raised $10MM. So far in my feedreader, the news got picked up in the New York Times, Tech Crunch, and Venture Beat.

The Web site generates more than 90 million video views a month, has 44,000 producers, and more than 50,000 original Web shows. Blip.tv hosts and syndicates shows to iTunes, YouTube, Vimeo, AOL Video, Verizon FiOS, TiVO, Sony Bravia, The Roku Digital Video Player and Facebook. Blip.tv splits all advertising revenues with show creators 50/50.

From Venture Beat:

“We started in 2005 with a simple mission: to change the entertainment industry by making independent show production sustainable and scalable,” cofounder and chief executive Mike Hudack said in the announcement. “We’re moving on to the next phase of executing against that mission …. We’re making more shows sustainable every single day, and now we’re going to accelerate that change even faster.”

Good luck on that mission Blip.tv!
