"We believe the future of television is to be found within new multi-platform programming that is customized to a focused audience like Xima.tv," said Chris Gale, vice president of content & channel development of Narrowstep Inc. "Narrowstep offers our customers the ability to not only monetize their programming, but also extend their brand over the internet providing a unique means of communication that not only caters to highly popular programming that reaches the mass audience, but also a more highly targeted affinity group like Xima.tv where the content embraces new audiences and advertisers alike." "The concept of XIMA (an acronym for Extreme Independent Media Alliance) was born out of the fact that the action sports independent producer is becoming an endangered species," said Don Phillip Durbin, founder and executive producer of Planet One Ventures, Inc. (POV). "Our industry is being taken over by the major media corporations leaving the little guy in the dust. In the tradition of the original United Artists film studio, XIMA and its broadband outlet is our first foray to give indie producers a competitive edge."
