CORAL SPRINGS, Fla., June 5, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Sun Network Group, Inc. (OTCBB:SNNW) today announced that it will be releasing this month through its wholly owned subsidiary, Radio TV Network, Inc. ("RTV"), direct to consumers, a 2-hour DVD and video from its "Mancow TV" program entitled "A Pair of Lips Now!" "Mancow TV" is one of the inaugural programs on RTV (www.RTVNET.com), a new TV network that produces and distributes TV adaptations of top-rated radio programs.
The video, available in both DVD and VHS formats, is a behind the scenes look at the Mancow Muller radio and TV shows called "the craziest in America." The video is a compilation of some of the most outrageous and best events on the program over the past few years, as captured by the RTV cameras.
The video, which can be purchased for $24.95 by calling 1-8-N-O-W-M-A-N-C-O-W, will be supported by a substantial TV advertising campaign in the Chicago market. T. Joseph Coleman, CEO of SNNW, said, "This video represents the kind of ancillary product and income that can be generated by RTV programs."
Mancow Muller is the top-rated star of Chicago morning radio, and the driving force behind Mancow's Morning Madhouse radio show on Chicago's Q101.
Upon maturity, RTV will ultimately have a unique and distinctive style comparable to widely popular cable networks such as MTV, ESPN and The E! Channel. Rather than primarily focusing on sports, music or Hollywood gossip, RTV will carve a new niche in television entertainment programming as the first television network to exclusively feature popular radio programs leveraging existing, developed and proven content with an unprecedented cross-promotional advantage.
Sun, through RTV, anticipates launching its own digital cable network in July 2004, which should position the company for exponential growth as digital technologies expand.
