Business Wire - November 28, 2005 10:01
ORLANDO, Fla., Nov 28, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Vision Works Media Group, Inc. (Pink Sheets:VWKM) and wholly owned subsidiary New Screen Television, Inc. have announced that the company is in final negotiations for the acquisition of a satellite feed distribution system which will enable New Screen TV to send its television programming directly to affiliates nationwide.
New Screen TV will be available across the U.S. via a satellite uplink that will make the channel available to affiliates everywhere in February of 2006. The satellite uplink is the last link to complete the chain that enables New Screen TV to sell and market the company's programming to established and new affiliates. Rick Erikson, New Screen TV's General Manager, said, "This final link in the delivery system of the company's programming makes affiliation deals with New Screen TV easy for new affiliates. They just authorize a receiver to receive our channel, and New Screen TV's channel is live as a basic channel on their cable, satellite or fiber-to-the-home system."
Additionally, New Screen TV has announced that the final 100 nominated films have been selected for New Screen TV's 2005 New Vision Awards. The 100 finalists were selected from the New Screen TV film library of films broadcast during 2005. The 100 finalists will be aired on New Screen TV's Nightly Primetime Premier program during the daily 7:00 P.M. primetime slot starting in January. The winners will be announced in mid-January of 2006.
The New Vision Awards are gleaned from a wide selection of outstanding films ranging from undiscovered gems to Academy Award(R) nominated and winning films. "The process of selecting the top 100 was longer and more difficult than anticipated due to the large number of superb films that we have broadcast this year. I look forward to ultimately recognizing the top five films as well as the grand prize winner," said Naseem Shah, New Screen TV's Director of Programming. The awards, originally scheduled for December, have been moved to mid-January of 2006 to accommodate the channel's full broadcast schedule for 2005. The New Screen TV New Vision Awards were created to recognize the outstanding films broadcast on New Screen TV and the filmmakers who created those films.
New Screen Television, Inc. started as an Orlando, Florida-based broadcasting company that still transmits its television service, New Screen TV, to viewers over-the-air via WRCF-TV Channel 29 Orlando. New Screen TV is on the air and available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
