After six years and 340 episodes, weekly online video show Diggnation is coming to an end, parent company Revision3 has announced.

Featuring Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht, Diggnation pairs the top tech stories from Digg with copious amounts of alcohol, frat boy humor and general nerd humor. The show made its debut in July 2005 and helped pioneer a new wave of weekly, topic-focused web programming.

The show has proven to be immensely popular over the years, with thousands showing up to live shows and events. Diggnation helped prove that a business model for original, niche focused online web video could exist. Revision3 now boasts more than 80 million monthly views. While the network has many more shows on its slate, Diggnation is still among its five most watched shows, according to the The New York Times.

Much like Digg itself, Diggnation has lost its relevancy over the years, as others have joined the daily and weekly tech news space and traditional media groups have taken a greater interest in web video. As the online content space has matured, the competition for viewers' eyeballs cut or download queue has only increased. In the tech programming space alone, Revision3 faces competition from Leo Laporte's TWiT.tv (which started around the same time as Diggnation), Dan Benjamin's 5by5.tv and Jason Calacanis's ThisWeekIn.

Regardless, the end of Diggnation represents the end of an era. Albrecht will continue to focus on other web shows, including Revision3's Totally Rad Show and Rose will focus on his latest venture, Milk.

The show will tape its last episode in December. We'll be sure to pour one out in tribute.
