LAS VEGAS, Dec. 27, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Player’s Network, Inc. (OTCQB:PNTV), a diversified holding company operating in marijuana and media, today announced a production partnership with the expansion of additional original content in the cannabis lifestyle.
The company has joined with LOOKtv Network (a part of QOL Media, Inc., holdings) and entered into its first major co-production deal, which includes 5 original series: “Zach of All Trades,” “The Blossoming World of Dr. Robb,” “Bhang Bhang,” “High Society Supper Club” and a second season of WeedTV’s creative short-form series, “This One Time.”
Filming begins with a live concert in Denver, Colorado on New Year's Eve and continues through the end of January in Wake Forest, North Carolina. Kara Williamson, a WeedTV Executive Producer, who also serves as Chief Content and Distribution Officer of LOOKtv Network is producing this slate of programming. Ms. Williamson stated, “The need to drive content has created an event-based filming production strategy that maximizes affordable, impactful, entertaining and informative content in a short amount of time.”
“WeedTV intends on leading the cannabis sector – in both the consumer and business categories – with original, high quality content which is currently not available in the industry,” stated Mark Bradley, CEO of PNTV and WeedTV.
