Attracting up to 100,000 viewers per episode, CommandN is a tech show broadcast over the Web. Hosted by Net junkie Amber MacArthur (who you might know from City TV) and Will Pate, the show is taking off like a rocket boom.
Digital Journal — CommandN is no stranger to a lot of people who are interested in tech. The show attracts both tech gurus and newbies in a simple format that breaks down the week's top tech headlines.
In this special Digital Journal behind-the-scenes look, Digital Journal talks to the personalities behind the show. In interviews with each of the CommandN members, Amber talks about the show's impact and lets viewers in on a secret about an animal she can't stand; co-host Will Pate talks about tying up Apple executives to get information out of them; Editor Brian McKechnie let's the beans spill about who his Go Daddy really is (watch the bloopers at the end); and Amber's brother Jeff drops a bombshell: CommandN has just been picked up by YouTube in a revenue-sharing deal.
Find out what makes the CommandN team tick, as Digital Journal Editor-in-Chief Chris Hogg and Managing Editor David Silverberg engage with this quirky bunch in a down-to-earn, hilarious encounter.
(Note: The bloopers that run during the credits continue to be one of the most popular parts of our show, so we've kept them in again this week. Watch through the credits to see Hogg ask the CommandN team the most serious of questions)
