RMD Entertainment Group Subsidiary MOTV Inc. Announces Television Broadcast Agreement With RHN for "Hip Hop 2Night"
Major Players in Hip Hop Already Expressing Their Enthusiasm for New Show
PHILADELPHIA, PA, Nov 21, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- RMD Entertainment Group (PINKSHEETS: RMDG) proudly announced today that their wholly owned subsidiary MOTV Inc. has come to an agreement with The Real Hip Hop Network to broadcast its first in house production television show entitled "Hip Hop 2Night" with Jay Milla.
MOTV Inc. started production of the show over 90 days ago and recently completed a 4-episode pilot with promising results. The show will be broadcast on RHN on a weekly basis to start but may be expanded to a daily show if it becomes successful. RMD also plans to broadcast the show on line at Google Video, YouTube, and MySpace. Mobile broadcast opportunities are also being explored as well currently.
"The show has a different focus than other shows on the air now. We are bringing Hip Hop back to its roots as a conscious expression of real life issues in the inner cities of the world, not just the US. We also give new talent a decent amount of time to shine along with the already established superstars in the industry," says show Host Jay Milla. He continued, "'Hip Hop 2Night' will concentrate on the true rhyming skills of emcees, not just the projects that the major labels try to shove down our throat every day. People are not stupid; they know what's good and what isn't. We are not trying to report on anything that doesn't make a significant impact on our viewer-ship and our eyes and ears are open to anyone with skills. That is why I see the majority of our advertising dollars coming from start up record labels around the country trying to be seen and heard instead of being lost in the shuffle."
The show has been previewed to key players in the industry to rave reviews. Platinum selling Hip Hop Icons have lent their full support for the show quickly. Superstars offered quotes for this release on behalf of the show.
"Finally someone who knows Hip Hop is getting a chance to report on it." -- Ludicrous
"People are smart and need to be talked to as such, and Jay Milla has the nerve to do it." -- Pimp C.
Giorgio Costonis, CEO of RMDG, stated, "This show is what RMDG is all about. We have created proprietary content that is relevant to Hip Hop fans around the world; therefore we can generate advertising revenue and secondary revenue streams from the show. We are excited about the prospects of the show and thank RHN for their distribution of this exciting new product. We hope to have a long standing successful relationship with Jay Milla."
