Players Network Announces Over 60 Million Views Across PNTV YouTube
Channels
Players Network YouTube Channels for Players Network, Vegas on
Demand, Sexy Sin City TV and YourWeedTV Achieve Milestone
LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - Jun 19, 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 reached over 60 million
views across its four YouTube Channels. PNTV channels are
"Vegas On Demand," "Players Network," "Sexy Sin City TV" and
"YourWeedTV" for its newest Branded Channel Destination
WeedTV.
The YouTube views have the dual benefit of promoting
NextGenTV(SM) Channel Destinations as well as being monetized
through program sponsors and advertisers. The current trend of
audiences shifting from traditional linear television programming
to new digital media and VOD (Video on Demand) programming, is
being reflected in a dramatic increase in Internet Advertising. In
fact Zenith Optimedia expects the internet to account for 24.7% of
all US advertising spend in 2014 with this increasing to 30.7% in
2016, up from just 6.0% in 2005. With US advertising spend at
over $174.7 billion this is approximately $43 billion on US
internet advertising in 2014. Advertisers appreciate the increased
analytics offered from internet advertising and the ability to
target specific niche consumer groups. The ability to identify
specific target demographics and consumer groups translates into
higher CPM advertising rates benefiting the Company's Branded
Lifestyle Channel Destination strategy.
"Vegas on Demand" is also seen in over 100 million homes and in
over 200 markets nationally through distribution agreements with
Comcast Cable and Hulu. Players Network is a Hulu Channel Partner
and has a revenue share agreement on all views generated across
their 80 million homes for advertising in Players Network
programming. The Company will seek to use its broadcast
relationships to create additional distribution for future Channel
Destinations. The ability to distribute programming over
multiple broadcast channels is one factor that differentiates
Players Network from other web asset only properties.
Mark Bradley, Players Network's Chief Executive Officer states:
"Surpassing 60 million views on YouTube truly enhances our clout
with potential sponsors and advertisers. This is a tremendous
distribution channel to cross promote our NextGenTV(SM) Channel
Platforms, www.realvegastv.com and www.weedtv.com as well as drive
top line revenue. We have a proven track record of generating
tens of millions of views and attracting audience. Now we also
have an internet enterprise vehicle in place to turn these viewers
into members, subscribers and consumers to generate multiple
additional revenue streams."
