Punch TV: forget 'demographics' its about 'psychographics' lol....I think a Network like Punch TV will attract MANY lucrative advertising dollars guys: for many reasons like being hip, cutting-edge, diversity, cool, trendy, bold and etc: How could the companys of Today not want to be a part of something like this with their ad dollars?:
"Los Angeles, Calif. – Life was never easy in the busy and violent streets of South Central L.A. for Joseph E. Collins II, the Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of Punch TV Network. Yet, rather than joining gangs and pursuing the entrepreneurial activities of the alternative economy, hardship honed Joseph’s independent spirit and sharpened the genius that was embedded in every single strand of his DNA. And now, that will, that determinism, and an uncanny ability to see things as they can be has manifested itself in Punch TV Network. Punch TV is an urban programming experience that brings together a unique type of programming that reflects the tastes, preferences, hues, and nationalities of the new urban American – a population that includes Caucasians, African Americans, Latinos, Asians, Native Americans and citizenry of mixed ethnicities. But, Punch TV’s “differentness” transcends the fact that it targets an urban population that is psycho-graphically rather than demographically defined. Punch TV Network, like Joseph E. Collins II, its founder, embodies the spirit and soul of independent entertainment. • Launched on Wednesday, October 19, 2011, shortly after Columbus Day, Punch TV is, in many ways, also an explorer. Instead of spending the normal costs of $100 million to launch, Punch TV spent $10 million. Rather than launching by airing re-runs of popular and loved shows, Punch TV has 70% original programming. And now, Punch TV extends its originality even further as it introduces its Fall lineup of shows to prospective advertisers and/or their representatives. "

Thank you Mr. Collins - cause I remember some bashers on this Board using this blog page as an attack in early May before his reply.
