Vision Works Media Group, Inc. Board of Directors Approves a Buy Back of its Common Stock

Monday December 5, 8:30 am ET

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 5, 2005--Vision Works Media Group, Inc. (Pink Sheets:VWKM - News) and wholly owned subsidiary New Screen TV, Inc. have announced a Buy Back of its common Stock. Up to 400,000,000 shares will be purchased by the company and retired to the company treasury.

"At this time, approximately 900,000,000 free trading shares make up the company float," said Naseem Shah. The company currently has 2,000,000,000 restricted shares owned by management giving a total of 2,900,000,000 total shares issued and outstanding. Shah added, "In consideration of the projected course of the company, with national distribution and an investment of more than $3,000,000 in the company, we feel the price per share is extremely under valued. Thus, the company will take this opportunity to reduce the number of shares available to the market. No Reverse split is planned for the company."

New Screen TV is available as a broadcast channel on WRCF-TV Channel 29 Orlando. WRCF-TV Channel 29 in Orlando, Florida recently signed a contract for the Houston market to distribute New Screen Programming in Q1 2006. New Screen TV's overall business goal is to reach 50 Million households.

Now ask yourself why so many companies were forced to close
involuntary or were closed by the state,Then ask yourself
how many of these companies made money for their shareholders
Answers:NOT ONE

BUSTED! That's the kind of crap the Astroms are known for. They announced a PR of a buyback, sold 16 billion shares, and then pulled the buyback from the newswire (I had to dig in the old thread to find it). For me, I would not want my name attached in any way to the Astroms.

God Bless - No Doubt
