When it was announced today, here’s what Gawker is quoted as saying on the topic of their new site.

“How many times have you been lost on one of these sites for hours and yet feel you haven’t really watched anything good at all? Gawker.TV filters through the clutter to dish out the best 10-15 posts per day of music, movies, viral sensations and more. With user video submissions mixed with original cuts, Gawker.TV gives instant gratification to the video-centric world.”

Also, if you are worried there will be no more videos for Gawker, Blakeley had this to say:

“The Gawker video department will continue to run as it always has, there will always be videos on gawker.com, ours will just be less newsy and less sophisticated ”
