Pop3 Media Corp. (fka POPT)

[sl62]

New POPT DD ~ OTC page updated very recently! Haven't looked at it in about a month but I know a month ago these updates were not there. To be sure, look at the snapshot I took from my DD post in mid-Nov. There was no suite number then in the address and there was also no director's category listed. In addition, Ari Bass's title only said President. Now it says Pres, Chairman & CEO.

So someone changed the info at the outside between mid-Nov 2010 and Jan 12 and only company officers can make changes to this type of information. My guess is this was updated somewhere in the last few weeks.

Company looks to be beginning to heat back up...based on these recent updates and given there were no changes made here since at least Mar. 2009, should be expecting news/new filings very imminently imvho!

****Original from my Nov DD post 8511****




My take is the bad economy is what caused the company to go dark through the last several years and wait for better conditions. Now the economy is getting better AND VOD is also now firmly in place (which was the initial target delivery space) so makes perfect sense that they would resurface now. Ari Bass is a well-connected dude in LA/Hollywood and is also a lawyer per his IMDB page.

Pop3 Media Corp. Announces New CEO
Media Company Intends to Produce Television Content For Cable, Satellite and Pay-Per-View Markets
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Nov. 3, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Pop3 Media Corp.(OTCBB:POPTE) today announced the appointment of Ari Bass as its new CEO effective October 31, 2005.
"We are extremely pleased that Ari has decided to join our team and will take over as CEO," stated former CEO and ****current Board Chairman, John D. Aquilino.**** "Ari brings many years of entertainment industry experience and will help Pop3 begin to create a diverse catalog of film, television, print and music properties."
Bass holds a Juris Doctorate from Vanderbilt University School of Law and Bachelor's Degree from New York University. He has worked extensively in entertainment sales and marketing as well as film production, writing, recording and as a professional musician with "Mickey Gilley's Urban Cowboy Band."
Pop3's headquarters will be moved from Mesa, Arizona to the Los Angeles area, and it intends to begin producing film and television projects for sale to the satellite, cable, broadband and pay-per-view markets as soon as is practical.
"My goal is to begin creating diverse, forward compatible content for Pop3," stated Bass. "I believe the market for made-for-pay-TV, and especially video-on-demand content will only continue to grow, and bring ever-increasing revenues to Pop3, and I hope to bring the company to profitability in as timely a manner as possible."
"Toward that end, I have negotiated for, and Pop3 has received, a memorandum of understanding, from one of the fifty largest companies in the United States, to license and exhibit up to twelve feature films, on a pay-per-view/VOD basis, beginning as early as January 2006, and to receive 40 percent of the gross revenue from the sales thereof. It is my intention to make further announcements concerning our understanding in the very near future. While I am excited to be able to begin my involvement with Pop3 with the framework for a distribution agreement already in place, it is just one of many distribution agreements I plan to negotiate in the coming months," concluded Bass.
Pop3 continues to work diligently to complete the sale of its distribution arm, ViaStar Distribution Group (VDG) to Roxxy Corporation, although Pop3 will maintain rights to distribute its products through VDG even after the sale is consummated. Roxxy has signed several top producers to its organization and intends to make their names public in the near future.
Furthermore, Pop3 continues to work towards the purchase of rights to certain proprietary technologies related to data storage as per its June 27, 2005 news release. The appointment of Bass will assist negotiations as his background and contacts throughout the entertainment industry should provide additional opportunity to obtain financing for this project.



>> Pop3 Media Corp Receives Deal Memo From Showtime
Deal Will License Film For Distribution Over Showtime's Various Networks
For Immediate Release
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif./EWORLDWIRE/Nov. 30, 2005 --- Pop3 Media Corp. (OTCBB: POPT) today announced that it has received a film licensing deal memo from Showtime Networks Inc.
"We firmly believe that we can provide high quality content to the cable, PTV, VOD and DVD markets, and that this deal with Showtime should be just one of many other deals Pop3 should obtain from a wide range of high end media companies in the coming weeks and months," said Pop3's President Ari Bass. "Pop3 intends to make itself one of the premier developers and producers of specialty films, made for cable or other mass market distribution methods, rather than attempting theatrical releases."
Pop3's strategy is to produce high quality films for specialty markets like Pay-TV(PTV), Video-On-Demand (VOD) and DVD. Pop3 intends to finance its productions with limited partnerships on a feature by feature basis, in an attempt to ensure that eventually, all of its own overhead is paid for by the partnerships and that there are no out of pocket expenses per film. The first of the partnerships is undergoing final legal review.
Bass further stated, "We believe that the rise in home theatre ownership and dropping in-theater sales coupled with the massive cost reductions made possible by not having to pay the enormous marketing costs associated with in-theater distribution, that we should be able to make high quality, highly targeted content at a profit."
