PHOENIX, Aug. 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WhereverTV (OTCQB:TVTV), (the “Company”) announced CEO, Edward D. Ciofani’s return interview with Everett Jolly, host of Uptick Newswire’s “Stock Day” Podcast.
Everett Jolly invited a company to return to the “Stock Day” podcast. “Unless you’ve been living under a rock, we’re going to talk about maybe one of the biggest infringements in the country. We’re talking about they’ve got an infringement against Comcast. The Company that we’re talking about today is WhereverTV Broadcasting Corp. and they were on our show back in April.”
With us today is the CEO, Edward Ciofani. “Ed, welcome to the show!”
Ciofani, “Everett, thanks for having me again! It’s always a pleasure!”
Jolly, “I read your press release and I was floored! You’re going to have to bring me up-to-date with what’s going on with this Comcast patent infringement filing. What’s going on?”
Ciofani was approached in early 2015 to take over the Company, but he didn’t know anything about patent infringement. So, he wanted to do some research before moving forward and hired a top law firm for that purpose. Their final report indicated that they felt the patent was defendable. He said basically, “The bigger the Goliath, the tougher the fight’s going to be and the more credible representation they’ll bring. Meaning if we are successful in defending our patent rights against a great company like Comcast, then other major companies we feel are infringing will take that into consideration when we ultimately enforce our patent rights with them.”
Ciofani said he was also intrigued by the OTC market platform and what the Company brought to it and what it was doing to the industry. It’s not very often that you have the opportunity to be part of a new and up-and-coming industry that has the explosive growth potential.
His first steps were to get the Company organized with a Board of Directors and then to redevelop the platform. It has also taken some time to get everything in place for the website concerning software compatibility issues with the front- and back-ends. After all that, everyone agreed it was time to defend the Company’s biggest asset, which was the patent.
Ciofani surmised that if they spend money to defend this patent against Comcast and their patent rights are validated, then other similar companies will recognize the value and merits of this patent case. This means that the Company will have a limit on the amount of money needed to spend on potential similar future legal issues.
There are several parts to this patent and they feel very confident in the research they have completed in this area.
Jolly continued, “Let’s change gears here and talk about the nuts and bolts of the Company. You’ve got the music division. Where are we on that prospect?”
Ciofani believes this is one of the most exciting divisions of the Company. They have a studio located in Nashville, Tennessee and they’ve hired a top team to do the branding and content creation. They’ve signed several award-winning, multi #1 hit producing artists to date and are in conversations with other award-winning, multi-platinum country music recording artists. The biggest challenge for artists that aren’t in or on the mainstream radio playlist is lack of relevancy which leads to a major problem in that some of these artists don’t have the distribution outlets. What WhereverTV hopes to do is “give artists a whole new platform and distribution point whereby it’s not just audio. It’s audio and video and getting up close and personal with these artists in our studios. . .All these artists have a fan base, what we call a super fan base.” Those are the fans WhereverTV is going after, not just in the United States but worldwide. These artists will be producing content from in studio talk and music shows to recording studio content and outside personal interest content. Collin Raye has already aired his first show titled “That’s My Story.”
“What’s going on down in Latin America?” Jolly asked.
The Company has been growing that organically and in January 2018, they got approximately 27,000 people signed on for trial subscriptions. Ciofani said they’re at about a 7% conversion right now. They just got authorization to add some new channels to their platform. So, Latin America is starting to see the value of what WhereverTV is adding to live-streaming and the Company is really excited about where that’s going. They’re also starting some new Google and other digital social media display advertising that is going very well. Their recent click-through rates were almost 20% and conversion rates into action were almost 12%. These are almost unheard of numbers in the industry.
Jolly concluded by telling listeners to check out WhereverTV and invited CEO Ciofani to come back before the end of the year for another update.
