WeedTV as the Newest Content Correspondents
Jennifer Solas, Founder of W.E.C.A.N.702 and Radio Talk Show
Host With Co-Host Kurt Duchac Are the Newest Special Correspondents
for WeedTV
LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - Jun 30, 2014) - Players Network
(OTCQB: PNTV), a Digital Television, Technology and New Media
company that develops, owns, and operates Branded Lifestyle Channel
Destinations today announced that they completed an agreement for
Jennifer Solas and Kurt Duchac to be the newest special
correspondents to join WeedTV and provide strategic industry
consulting to the Company.
Jennifer Solas is the Founder of W.E.C.A.N702 ("Wellness
Education Cannabis Advocates of Nevada") a non-profit organization
providing educational symposiums and patient support. Jennifer
has been one of the leading Cannabis advocates in Nevada along with
Kurt Duchac. Jennifer and Kurt host a weekly Radio Talk Show
on KLAV in Las Vegas with leading members of the Cannabis
Community. They will have a weekly video column on WeedTV
providing information specifically on the progress of Marijuana
Legislation in Nevada and General educational segments.
Jennifer Solas stated, "We are so pleased to be able to join the
WeedTV team and family. This industry needs a television network
and Players Networks professionalism and established distribution
to over 100 million homes provides a true national platform to help
educate people on how important medical marijuana is to so many
people in need. There has been so much progress over the past few
years but it is important that we continue to build awareness so
people understand this multi-billion industry."
Last year Nevada past Senate Bill 374 approving 53 medical
marijuana dispensaries throughout the State and 40 in Clark County.
Nevada has also approved additional commercial cultivation and
business operations which will dramatically increase marijuana
related revenue in the State. Clark County alone approved 101
marijuana related cultivation and processing business licenses on
June 17, 2014. Looking at Colorado as an indication of the
potential future economic impact to Nevada, Colorado marijuana
Sales topped $202 million in the first four months of 2014, with
Marijuana sales revenues expected to grow well over a $1.0 billion
annually. As Nevada moves forward with issuing both dispensary
and cultivation licenses this bodes well for the already booming
Nevada Marijuana industry. The Company expects to capitalize
on being based in Las Vegas to access this rich source of program
content as well as new advertisers and sponsors.
Mark Bradley, CEO of Players Network stated, "We are extremely
excited about both Jennifer Solas and Kurt Duchac support and
participation to help to grow WeedTV. They both have been
extremely influential in the Nevada Cannabis Communities and bring
a wealth of knowledge and relationships to the Company. They have
an established and loyal fan base from their Talk Radio Show that
we expect to grow through our global distribution networks. By
aligning with credentialed and established players in the Cannabis
Community like Jennifer and Kurt we will quickly expand both our
program content and business relationships to build this Network
Channel Destination."
