Readers
LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - Jun 2, 2014) - Players Network
(OTCQB: PNTV), a Digital Television, Technology and New Media
company that develops, owns, and operates Branded Lifestyle Channel
Destinations, announces today a joint venture with DMH Media
Network who owns TRUE Magazine to create "WeedTv Magazine." The
first step in creating the magazine will be a 6 page
special "WeedTv" insert within the August issue
(www.true-magazine.com). This 6 page special will be directly
delivered to 367,082 subscribers and promoted throughout TRUE
Magazine's Hip Hop Lifestyle database combined will pass along
copies reaches over 2,606,000 readers. The companies' joint goals
are to eventually incubate the initial insert into a stand-alone
full-length publication.
DMH specializes in a vast targeted market with its brands. TRUE
Magazine the oldest running title with 15 years of producing and
showcasing Hip Hop, will be the leading brand to infuse WeedTv into
its own platform with magazines and e-zines. TRUE Magazine has
worked with "as cover artists," Jay Z, Kanye West, Rick Ross, Game,
Nas and many more. TRUE Magazines recognizes the lifestyle of
artists showcased and the social part of the Marijuana lifestyle
covered by Weed Tv.
Noble DraKoln, Chief of Business Development for DMH stated,
"DMH stays on the cutting edge of Pop Culture with a focus on Hip
and RnB. With the surge in legalization of Marijuana across the
United States we see the 'Cannabis Culture' as one of the fastest
growing marketplaces that will open up extraordinary sponsor and
advertising revenue potential. WeedTv offers a phenomenal
opportunity to DMH to enter this marketplace and use our existing
consumer base to drive viewers. It was very important to us to see
that Players Network, the owner of WeedTv, is an established
broadcast company with existing distribution relationships that
would extend and expand our brands. We look forward to working with
the Players Network and WeedTv team to grow this opportunity and
eventually launch a standalone WeedTV magazine."
Mark Bradley, CEO of Players Network stated, "To say we are
excited about DMH would be a significant understatement. They are
an ideal partner to develop the "WeedTv Magazine" as well as to
help us develop new promotional campaigns and contests to build
audience and subscription membership in the future. Having the
WeedTv Magazine allows a perfect vertical media extension that will
be cross promoted, where viewers can both read articles in WeedTv
Magazine or go to WeedTv and watch a related video story. Bradley
adds, having two complementary media platforms and one with a
mature loyal readership developed by TRUE of 15 years will offer
immediate increased opportunities to our advertisers and
sponsors.
