About
ChannelFlip is the UK’s finest video magazine for switched-on men.
We’re like a regular magazine but instead of writing articles we make 3-minute video shows. They are aimed at savvy young men and cover specific interests such as technology and computer games.
We distribute our shows to over 40 websites, reaching a combined audience of over 5.5m men in the UK.
That’s the short, sharp pitch for ChannelFlip Media.
The Shows
Our video shows are a bit different from regular TV. For starters, they cover topics you won’t normally find on telly: gadgets, videogames, DVD reviews and more.
Each episode is short and snappy - making them easier to digest than a 30-minute programme. Unlike TV, you can take our shows anywhere - watch them on our website, download them to your computer, even play them on your iPod or iPhone while you commute.
You can subscribe to our show feed, and have the latest episodes pushed directly to you with the minimum of effort.

Arnold Pistorius is ChannelFlip’s Head of Production. With over 7 years of video work behind him, Arnold brings a wealth of experience to ChannelFlip. Before he joined the team, Arnold was working at London’s prestigious Molinare Film and TV Village where he worked on
Football Italia, Filthy Gorgeous, Cartoon Network, and European Poker. A true “all-rounder”, Arnold can shoot, edit, animate, build sets and conduct interviews. But sadly not at the same time.
Iyaz Akhtar and Robert Borgesi are regular presenters on ChannelFlip’s Web Channel. Based in New York city, the dynamic duo provide a refreshingly American angle to our somewhat British view of the world. The pair also produce numerous other shows on their own site FiniteComedy.com. Iyaz and Rob have very little formal training in the world of video since one holds a law degree and the other is a candidate for a dental degree. But they love technology, and that’s all that matters here. Drop them an email here.
