FTMM.PK Recently Began Acquisition of Skee.TV
Fortune Market Media, Inc. (FTMM.PK), a diversified media company providing a number of financial, consumer, and investor related communication service solutions, recently announced that it began the full acquisition of Skee.TV. Skee.TV was established in February 2007, and is the first daily urban lifestyle show available free of charge to consumers either online or via most mobile phone providers. Skee.TV allows viewers to watch behind-the-scenes coverage of events, locations, sets, and sound and motion-picture studio setups. The program features world premier music videos, new product showcases, and celebrity interviews from around the world.
Skee.TV has worked with artists from Snoop Doog to Rick Thorne, and produces a daily web-isode. Since its launch early last year, Skee.TV has had over 10 million views. The site centers around DJ Skee, who joined Fortune Market in April as Senior Executive of New Media. DJ Skee, also known as Scott Keeney, is in charge of implementing Fortune’s newest Internet media platform scheduled to launch the second quarter of 2008. Skee.TV has been selected to be the flagship show of the new platform.
Ryan Tomlin, Executive Vice President of Fortune, stated, “We are very excited to have Skee.TV in our media arsenal and I plan on giving a lot of energy and effort in putting Skee.TV at the forefront of our properties. This addition gives us access to today’s most exciting demographic (18-25). This group stays current on new content and new ways of receiving that content. They are the future and we will be catering to them.”
Fortune Market Media will provide Skee TV with financial and organizational support to build and develop its brand and audience. Terms and conditions of the acquisition have been completed, and an announcement is pending once the acquisition is fully executed.
