Punch TV Heats Up Thanksgiving By Premiering Two New Shows
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- IC Places, Inc. (OTCQB: ICPA) the angle of the rising sun and the hint of coolness in the air signal the arrival of another Thanksgiving Day, the American holiday that is most noted for the coming together of family and friends. Punch TV, a broadcast television network that launched in October 2011, is debuting its second season of original programming beginning on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 22, 2012 with new shows being released on a monthly basis thereafter.
After the turkey has been eaten and Thanksgiving football games have been cheered or moaned, Punch TV invites viewers nationwide to sink into the comfort of their sofas, turn down the lights, and watch two of its first releases for this season.
Punch will premiere the Punch TV original series, EROS: Emmanuel and Me, a true story of true love. When Emmanuel Djambissie, a young and wealthy Cameroonian businessman, comes to America, the love of his dreams and of his life is 65-year old Armentha "Mike" Cruise, founder and owner of The Aspen Group, Inc., a $50 million human resources management staffing company. This mini-series chronicles the soft and tender magic that true love generates, even between a man age 30 and a beautiful, older woman of 65. "The mini-series is filled with magical moments that inspire faith in the Supreme Being while reconfirming that we are never too old for love," says Stanford University graduate, Mona Scott, PhD.
Punch TV will also premiere its new reality series, A Taste of Hunney, real life, Los Angeles, California designer, Satai Gordon teams up with celebrity actress Patrice Fisher (Cinemax's Zanes' Sex Chronicles) to produce, market, and sell one of the most daring and provocative lines of women's lingerie available.

Bringing both laughter and tears, A Taste of Hunney leaves viewers waiting restlessly to see which explosion will end this highly crippled partnership and, in doing so, will shove this unique business into the realm of the broken and the bankrupt.

No we shall not, I'm done answering you just to have you twist my words.
The increase in authorized was a few months ago. Nobody trades on the OTCBB anymore.
This was done a few months ago.
I have already explained this but will do it one last time. The closer a company is it to its Authorized the more expensive the cost of funds are. By increasing the authorized we have stretched the distance from authorized and lowed the cost of funds if they are needed.
I went on for free as they where starting off and wanted to get a few good interviews under their belts so they had something to show potential paying guests.
We did not pay anything to do the interviews.
Who cares? That was 22 years ago
I won $214,00.00 and the judge signed an order that she had lied. It took a while but I won in the end.
Well done. Read the last page where it shows in the end I won this case.
Very true but you fail to mention on the second page of that report it says I sued the lady that made the allegation against me in civil court and I won a jury trial award of $214,000.00 against her. Also the Judge, Honorable Frank Pound signed an order that she lied to the regulatory body.
That is a falsehood. There is no chill happening.
This is ridiculous. I worked for 2 months with Millionaire advising them on PR 14 years ago. I was never sued or had any issues because of it. Also, 15 years ago I lent my name as the "Editor in Chief" to one issue of a 6 page newsletter friend was doing. I did not write any of the 3 articles in it. In civil court the SEC sued the news letter and me because it was posted in it that each of the 3 articles where paid for but did not list the amount. The rule says you must do both. Nobody knew that 15 years ago. I signed an agreement that saying If I am involved in another paid newsletter, I will state the articles are paid for and how much and that was the end. It was civil, not criminal and was over in a few days and I never had another issue.
Really, a stock promo websites where the admin has a me.com email address stands behind their info. Well, clearly that means something. LOL
22 days from the filing.
Most of this is in the works.
Here is the same info off the Finra website. http://regsho.finra.org/FORFshvol20121116.txt
Are they a scam also?

Great job typing but we had nothing to do with any of those if they are real. Here is the deal. If we wanted to promote the stock and did I would tell everyone so. But we had nothing to do with these if they really exist.
That is BS. We never paid for a promo.
It was in the Q.
To further support what I shared today about the name and symbol change being the reason for the drop in share price and support. I offer the following. Today only 10% of the shares purchased today where filled by Market Makers that did not already have stock to sell.
Total Trading Volume: 21584721
Daily Short Volume: 2217811
Avg. Price of Shorts Today: 0.004
Short %: 10.27
Volume at Offer: 9160989
Buy%: 42.440
Volume at Bid: 12423732
Sell%: 57.560
Shares Crossed: 0.000
Cross%: 0.000
Net Buying vs. Selling: -3262743
Price Change: -0.00060
Friction Factor: -54379050
I want to address the reason our share price is currently down. We released the best Q we ever have yesterday, so why are shares down?
There is a very simple reason which will fix itself shortly. When people buy shares of ICPA in the open market, Market Makers will fill these buys based our the current market price. About 30-40 percent of the time the market maker does not have the shares yet that he sold you. He will go short and cover later. They do this to maintain the market and they know they can cover later.
Also, when you look at a level 2 quote system there are 12 market makers. And they put up Bids and Asks at every level. Right now half the market makers have no bids or asks. (I will explain this in a second)
This is a report from November 13th just a few days ago. You will see that they filled orders short about 1/3rd of the time. This is normal business and it a way to support our market.
Total Trading Volume: 3,011,238
Daily Short Volume: 911501
Avg. Price of Shorts Today: 0.008
Short %: 30.27
Volume at Offer: 1965288
Buy%: 65.270
Volume at Bid: 1045950
Sell%: 34.730
Shares Crossed: 0.000
Cross%: 0.000
In the Q we stated the following....
On October 31, 2012 the Company’s Board of Directors approved the amendment of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to
change the Company’s name to IC Punch Media, Inc. and to provide for a class of “blank check” preferred stock. The Company
is authorizing five hundered million (500,000,000) shares of preferred stock, par value $.000001.
When we do our name chance to reflect the new direction of the company, we will receive a new symbol and cusip number. At that time everyone's shares sitting in brokerage houses will be automatically sent to our transfer agent and a new certificate with the new name and cusip number will be issued. We will then begin trading under the new symbol. The process takes about a day.
Until that happens market makers many step away from some of their support and fewer will sell shares short to fill buys with shares they do not have. That is what is happening right now.
This is the most recent report from today. You can see the short position has dropped to 16%. So they are not filling orders short.
Total Trading Volume: 13788824
Daily Short Volume: 2329716
Avg. Price of Shorts Today: 0.006
Short %: 16.90
Volume at Offer: 2839810
Buy%: 20.600
Volume at Bid: 10949014
Sell%: 79.400
Shares Crossed: 0.000
Cross%: 0.000
So what has happened is the market makers that are short will want to buy back in cheap as they can knowing soon this current symbol will change and if they hold shares short on the last few days before the change over they can be stuck buying in at market.
If you have level 2 quote you can see this very clearly.
The good news is as soon as the name change, cusip change and symbol change happens this all will go back to normal and they will return to supporting the shares. The process will take around 22 days.
What do you think our board gets paid?
We have authorized the ability to issue preferred. We have not issued any at this time. When ever we do issue this at that time the type of preferred will be determined.
The thing some people do not understand is that it does not help the company when the stock falls. We are all losing money when it drops. Most of us have never taken a salary and only we have our shares for years of work we have put in and the money. So when it falls we are hurt the worst. I personalty sold this year and lent all the money to the company. I took my own shares, sold them and gave all the money to the company. It was the cheapest way for us to get money. I own 270 million shares. I lost $972,000.00 on paper over the last two days. So this the idea that somehow we wanted our own stock to fall is ridiculous.
We have authorized the ability to issue preferred. We have not issued any at this time.
In the 3rd quarter of 2012, IC Places acquired the broadcast assets of Punch TV Network. The move on the surface may have been seen as another leap forward for IC Places’ Distribution Network, adding another form of contact. But, for the management of IC Places, we saw it as much more. Combining our Out-of-home Distribution Network with that of a Broadcast TV Network created a paradigm shift in the value and purpose of our Distribution Network.
Over the last seven years, IC Places has built a Distribution Network that places our shows in front of 300+ million people a month. This massive viewership comes from a combination of our 350 City websites and partner websites. It includes our contracts with PRN for the Restaurant Network, HD Walls, Check out TV and from our latest four year contract with connectiVISION, which places us in the ClearVision airport network and waiting areas of Hospitals, Doctor’s offices, Clinics and Care Centers across the country.
When IC Places acquired the broadcast TV assets, the base Distribution Network grew from a slowly growing revenue source to a profitable marketing arm for the newly acquired Punch TV Network. This strategic shift in purpose has put greater value on the core assets of our Distribution Network.
A story in Media Post yesterday, tells us that TV network’s will spend roughly the equivalent of $4.5 billion in TV promos -- with the majority of that messaging coming from its own network airwaves. This is based on a recent Nielsen report. The article goes on to state... “$4 billion -- comes from running its new season TV promos on its own network airwaves. Roughly 9.3% comes from cross-channel promotion via broadcast networks' sister cable channels. That comes to around $300 million. In addition, 2.4% comes from pay-TV efforts on other networks -- around $100 million.”
See the entire Media Post story at: http://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/182440/tv-nets-spend-billi...
We are all aware of a TV pioneer who recently started a cable TV network only to flounder. The question many never asked is “Why?”. If you really think about it, did you know what channel her network was on in your city, and, did you know any of the shows on her network? No matter how majestic the tree is, if it falls in the woods and nobody is around it does not make a sound.
National broadcasters and cable networks will spend billions this fall to make a sound. IC Places upon the Punch TV acquisition turned its current Distribution Network into one of the world’s largest soap boxes with 300 million pairs of eye’s that engage in our content across the platform and outside of the Punch TV broadcast signal.
In the Media Post article it states... “It’s key to consider promoting off your own network, instead looking to sister networks or online for valuable opportunities to engage with consumers,” stated Justin Rosen, director of media analytics at Nielsen. “Cross-channel platforms may create opportunities to engage not just loyal, regular viewers, but to capture new viewers.” IC Places is doing this right now.
NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox and others have also seen the light. They recently joined IC Places and others in content partnerships with ClearVision Airport Television to deliver programing for a revolutionary new type of television network. One that exists completely out of the home. ClearVision Airport Television is being built by the people at ConnectiVision and in partnership with Clear Channel Outdoor, a subsidiary of the giant media company Clear Channel Communications. This is a game changer in that it is a true Television Network, which will be based in 240 airports across America.
In a recent press release, David Tetreault, Chief Marketing Officer at connectiVISION said, "Our goal is to provide travelers--especially frequent business travelers--a diverse, 20-hour-a-day programming lineup of top network shows, news, weather, and sports, while enabling airports to deliver a customized TV station with local flare and programming. This unique Away-From-Home television solution is the first of its kind to provide premium programming designed to target, reach and engage a world on-the-go."
ClearVision Airport Television, and the other arms of IC Places Distribution Network, will save the company millions of dollars that it would have needed to create opportunities to engage not just loyal, regular viewers, but to capture new viewers. In the process, the Distribution Network will become an incredible revenue source as the networks we have partnered with grow and expand.
This fundamental paradigm shift, in both form and function of the IC Places Distribution Network, will be the catalyst which will help grow the company as a whole into a major force in both in-home and out-of-home entertainment.
Thank you.
That is correct.
I am to received that amount one time only when the company has money to pay it. This will be my compensation for the last 7 years of working for the company.
You want me to give to you names of private individuals so you can harass them. Called protecting innocent people.
As constantly kind as you are always to me. Do you think I will give you names of private individuals? Those names are not public.
Several people did. It was a private company. The 135 was split between them.
I appreciate your support.
135 million was split up by the people that owned the Punch assets. Those share and Josephs shares are all restricted the same way.
I can tomorrow.
It is part of the world of these boards. I never expected people to be nice to me when I came here. But, I'm not going to run away when loyal shareholders need answers and lies need to be corrected.
The change is MM and orders filled short is a fact. The name change is to better reflect our current direction.
Of course it does. We may in the future be able to use preference stock instead of common stock for acquisitions and raising capital. This way we don't have to affect the common shares.
