Players Network Acquires Weedtv.com Premium Domain for New
Marijuana Lifestyle Channel
Players Network Is Developing a New Digital Lifestyle Broadband
Channel and Social Community Dedicated to the Booming Legalized
Marijuana Industry
LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - Mar 31, 2014) - Players Network
(OTCQB: PNTV), a Digital Television, Technology and New Media
company that develops, owns, and operates Branded Lifestyle Channel
Destinations, announces today that it has acquired weedtv.com, a
premium domain for its new Lifestyle Channel Destination for the
Marijuana Industry that will be powered by the company's
proprietary NexGenTV(SM) Technology and Enterprise Platform. What
differentiates NextGenTV (SM) from other media platforms is the
unique combination of programming, social media and enterprise
solutions that provides its viewers and members with media,
products and services that are relevant to their specific consumer
lifestyle group.
The goal of Weed TV is to be the go to source for reliable
information, entertainment, products and services for people who
relate to the marijuana lifestyle and social community. Weed TV
will feature daily stories sourced by weedtv.com correspondents and
contributors from around the world. It will provide a wide variety
of editorial content, videos and entertainment including lead
stories, political news, business news on the industry, financial
analysis from industry experts, growing tips, cooking classes, a
"Weed101" section, medical uses, lifestyle features, entertainment
specials and merchandise shopping cart offering the latest products
and services.
The Weedtv.com landing page will be up within approximately 48
hours and the site will launch in April, 2014 with a free
membership program providing access to premium videos and
incentives to members through discounts, reward programs and
contests. A premium subscription membership program is planned to
launch later this year that will provide additional membership
benefits and access to weedtv.com VOD entertainment specials.
CEO Mark Bradley states: "Weedtv.com is a great brand that is self
explanatory to build a robust social community. We foresee
exponential growth as more states adopt legalized marijuana.
Further, Weed TV provides a targeted media outlet for emerging
Marijuana and Hemp companies to advertise goods and services
directly to their core demographics and target audience. Mr.
Bradley continues: "I strongly feel that the emerging legalized
marijuana industry will offer PNTV's shareholders an extraordinary
opportunity for long term growth in the future and believe that
people will be shocked at the actual audience size of the weed
marketplace."
