TORONTO, Oct 18, 2005 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- First Canadian American Holding Corporation (OTC: FCDH) announced today that The Fight Network Inc. has signed an exclusive (Canadian) programming deal with FEG USA Inc. for the right to broadcast its K-1 events.
This agreement will see The Fight Network air K-1 events in their entirety each and every week. This will be the first time these events will be available on cable and satellite television in Canada.
"K-1 events personify excitement," said Brian Sobie VP of Programming and Production for the Network. "Knockouts can happen at any time of any match. I think Canadian fight fans who have never seen a K-1 match will be shocked by the dramatic way most of these matches end."
"The Fight Network has given us a great opportunity to bring K-1 to our Canadian fans on a consistent basis," said Mr. Sadaharu Tanikawa, CEO of FEG USA Inc. "We have some of the most charismatic fighters in the world: Bob Sapp, Ray Sefo, Remy Bonjansky, Mighty Mo, as well as a couple of fantastic Canadian fighters -- Gary Goodridge and Michael McDonald. We're confident that this partnership with The Fight Network will enable K-1 to become one of the most popular televised fighting programs in Canada in the very near future."
