WealthTV Celebrates the American Dream on Its First Anniversary

SAN DIEGO, July 26 /PRNewswire/ -- What a difference a year makes. One of the rising independent network voices in cable television, WealthTV, is celebrating its first anniversary with a nod to their many achievements. Highlights include the successful launch of their network on satellite in simultaneous digital and high-definition feeds, carriage by 30 video providers, completed production on more than 825 hours of original high-definition programming and the build-out and occupancy of its 44,000 square-foot state-of-the-art studio equipped with the latest Sony technology. WealthTV, cable's premier lifestyle network, is growing strong and very enthusiastic about its future.

"We wanted to build a network that would have programs about stem cell research; that would offer viewers an international perspective on today's current events; that's fun and entertaining and that would speak to an educated audience about the quality of their life and how they can make it better," said Charles Herring, President, WealthTV.

WealthTV has secured successful carriage from California to Stanford, Maine and throughout the Caribbean, with thirty distribution partners including Charter Communications, Verizon, Armstrong, Wide Open West, Metrocast, US Cable, Champion Broadband and Insight.

WealthTV's camera crews venture around the world to varying interests. For example, the series "WEALTH ON HEALTH" provides viewers with engaging, socially-relevant information that inspires thought-provoking conversation. Recently the network devoted a 90-minute special "WEALTH ON HEALTH" to Clayton's Story -- the telling of a two-and-a-half-year-old child undergoing stem cell treatment and finding incredible results.

Signature series such as "WOW," "BEST OF," and "CHIC" devote each episode to different topics. In August, "CHIC" will look at the most luxurious and progressive spas in the country. "BEST OF" appeals to purveyors of luxury and showcases the best suits, cars, summer activities and destinations. "WOW" introduces viewers to unique and highly sought-after affluent communities around the world and most recently featured an episode of "WOW Cannes" highlighting the internationally famous film festival.

"Frankly, I've really been impressed with the quality and diversity of their programming. I've become a personal fan and enjoy watching the network," noted Charter Regional VP and GM, Tom Tomkins.

Built from the ground up, WealthTV's facility is supported by Sony technology and Ascent Media's turnkey systems. The network's HD studio features various post-production suites, digital content management and network origination for the network, and is broadcast from its own uplink and master control to PanAmSat's Galaxy 13.
