LAS VEGAS, NV--(MARKET WIRE)--May 11, 2009 -- Players Network (OTC BB:PNTV.OB - News), the leading Digital Media Network dedicated to Las Vegas Entertainment and the Gaming Lifestyle, announced today their high volume VOD viewership in the Seattle and Portland markets of Comcast Cable.
According to the most recent independent reports, Players Network, viewed as "Vegas on Demand" on Comcast, is making a strong showing in the U.S. Northwest VOD market. With approximately 11% of Seattle and Portland VOD enabled audiences, Players Network is uniquely situated to offer this target region to advertisers and sponsors. Likewise, Mark Bradley, CEO of Players Network, believes this is indicative of the choice consumers are making about programming.
"Audiences are no longer content with linear programming. Distribution that is viewer controlled is fast becoming the content delivery of choice," Bradley states.
Industry professionals have described the VOD revolution as an example of audience's preference for choice, control and convenience. According to TVN Entertainment, the world leader in VOD distribution technology, over 71% of VOD enabled consumers are turning into VOD programming, with frequency expected to increase over the next five years as viewers become more familiar with the platform.
"As with the birth of the cable industry, the VOD market is a paradigm shift in programming," states Bradley, "and with over 1,500 titles, and niche market capability, we are confident that the Players Network brand will be synonymous to Las Vegas and Gaming Lifestyle as MTV is to music and ESPN is to sports."
