HeadsUp Entertainment (PINK SHEETS: HDUP) announced today that it
is in pre-production of a poker reality television series. Casting
calls will screen thousands of potential contestants and HeadsUp
producers will choose 12-16 contestants to be part of the reality
series' inaugural season. As part of its business model, HeadsUp
has committed to innovate poker television programming and offer
viewers what management believes will be one of the highest rated
poker programs in the North American and International television
markets.
Over the past 5 years, poker has become one of the most
profitable genres on major television networks. NBC, Fox, ESPN and
the Travel channel have all produced poker-based television
shows.
Kelly Kellner, President and Chief Executive Officer of HeadsUp
Entertainment commented, "There is no question that television
audiences in at least 20 countries throughout the world have shown
an overwhelming interest in poker television. Our market study has
concluded that we can sell the series in at least 10-12 English
speaking countries."
Kellner added, "We are now negotiating with potential sponsors
for the series and we believe we can complete production of the
series for broadcast in this falls' television schedule."
