ActionView International, Inc. (Pink Sheets:AVEW) and its wholly owned MatchFights LLC subsidiary today announced that its World Championship Full Contact (WCFC) events will now be available on Comcast's video-on-demand service (VOD) in the Mountain West region, with plans to expand the offerings to all 11 Western states and, ultimately, the entire U.S. market.
The WCFC has already delivered video of one WCFC event to Comcast and is expected to deliver a second event this week. Comcast has created a folder on the VOD system for WCFC content to be posted so that it can be downloaded and viewed by any Comcast subscriber in the Mountain West region. Both of the WCFC events are expected to be available on Comcast VOD within the next several days. In the future, the company expects to post additional WCFC content to Comcast in an edited format about ten days after a live event so as to not distract from the live broadcast and PPV demand.
Comcast is the largest provider of cable and broadband services in the United States, serving more than 21 million cable television subscribers and more than 6.5 million high-speed Internet customers. According to recent estimates, Comcast has about 25 percent of the cable television market.
"Introducing WCFC events and related content to Comcast subscribers is a significant step for the brand and is expected to increase awareness in the regions where it is offered," said Gary Nerison, Chairman of ActionView International. "Video-on-demand is increasing in popularity, and fight fans have demonstrated a willingness to pay for quality content such as that offered by the WCFC. We look forward to the expansion of this agreement so that our content is available to all Comcast subscribers around the United States."
ActionView recently announced that the next WCFC event will be held September 4, 2010 at The Scrapyard in Ogden, Utah. WCFC is the mixed martial arts organization operating under the company's wholly-owned subsidiary, MatchFights, LLC. The fight card for the September 4th event features two professional matchups, at least seven amateur bouts and one female amateur fight.
Tickets for the live events can be purchased by calling the WCFC ticket hotline (888) 310-4620. Fans are also invited to visit the new WCFC website at www.wcfc.com for more information about the event and to find out about local area broadcasts of all WCFC events.
