Regarding the announcement, Weiner stated, "This agreement allows K-tel to marry its rich history in marketing music products directly to the consumer through television with our aggressive expansion into direct marketing via the Internet. GRTV Network's reach is extraordinary, providing us with the valuable opportunity to strengthen our traditional marketing activities, as well as continue building our new endeavors."
