Hi, just been looking at a few networks, and Exonia popped up among them, just wondering if anyone had any feedback about them (positive + negative) or what they currently offer. Thanks :)

Well Exonia has its own MCN, so that can be a plus or a negative. They are one of the smaller MCNs out there though. I would assume they probably offer a typical 70/30 1 year contract with the same benefits as most networks. Personally, I would see no benefit with partnering with them instead of another network. As for the size of the network, they have just under 300 channels, and that is very small. I would not feel comfortable being under such a small network unless they offered an awesome contract (which I have not read). I don't know too much about this particular MCN, but I can tell you that there are better options.
 
I don't think its fair how people always assume joining a small MCN is bad. If anything I can only see it as a good thing due to support. All I seem to read about the likes of RPM, FS and Machinima is people having to wait days on days for a reply because they both have tens of thousands of channels. That's just my opinion, don't think I'm slating them networks because I'm not.

Do you think you will stand out in a network with 20,000 partners compared to one with 300?
 
Exonia for the win, I am moving to them in a few weeks. It's going to feel good to be appreciated and not just one of a bigger networks 'figures'! :D

Machinima is a terrible choice if you have under 50k subs. They are good for those guys, but not for smaller channels. RPM has always been very fast for support. The longest I have waited was about 48 hours, but it is usually under 24 hours for me. I have spoken to a partner manager at FS, and he was very fast at responding, however I chose against partnering with them for other reasons. You don't need to stand out. You need a trustworthy network that you know is not going anywhere. Half of these little networks are founded then go bankrupt 6 months later (not saying Exonia will, but it happens). Pretend you are directing/writing a feature length movie. Would you rather it be produced by Fox or TrueTV? Although TrueTV may give you significantly more attention, the one by Fox will be a better movie 99 times out of 100, because they have the capital and experience to make it happen. That is just how I look at it though. I do understand that a small network can be beneficial to some channels, but it is just not for me at this current time. :)
