look PR-16 - Stamford, CT - CABLEready, the international program distribution and development company based in Stamford, CT, has acquired worldwide distribution rights to three non-fiction series from Indianapolis-based Creative Street Productions
The shows,
to be introduced at NATPE 2001 this month in Las Vegas,
include:
Reality/Health - NURSES ON DUTY, the first reality series
ever to focus on the often overlooked role of this vital
health profession. The 13 proposed half-hours, available in
fall 2001, include true stories of nurse heroes, health tips
and information and tie-ins to a dedicated interactive Web
site.
- Reality/Nature -
WILDLIFE JOURNAL, showcasing the role of game wardens in
their real-life adventures as protectors of natural
resources, enforcers of public safety laws, and response
to emergencies like wild animal control, toxic spills and
natural disasters.
Already a success in U.S. syndication, CABLEready is offering 48 half-hours available immediately.
Crafts/Collectibles - COUNTRY SAMPLER: ON THE ROAD, bringing the appeal of crafts/collectibles shows to television. Geared toward the female demographic and produced in alliance with Country Sampler and Country Marketplace magazines, the 13 half-hours will feature on-location interviews with artisans and celebrities.
As part of its agreement with Creative Street, CABLEready is also offering ROARING THROUGH THE CENTURY, a one-hour sports history special on the Indy 500 auto race and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

shares our commitment to quality non-fiction
television,
and we're looking forward to working with them to expand distribution," said Gary Lico, president and CEO of CABLEready Corp. "The Creative Street shows are also extremely compatible with our other programming. WILDLIFE JOURNAL, for example, would be a great lead-in for our forensic reality series, WILDLIFE DETECTIVES. " CABLEready is the industry's premiere independent program representation firm with clients located across the globe. Established in 1992 to represent existing program libraries and to develop original program ideas, CABLEready provides more cable networks with licensed programs than any other program distributor.

PR-15 / NATPE - January
22 - 25, 2001
"Disappointment Diaries", "To Kill With a Song" and
Troy Cory's China Harbin "Live" Webcast,
Offered To NATPE TV ProgrammersIn Addition to "Disappointment Diaries" and "To Kill With a Song", VRA has inked with web telecaster, LookRadio, for two new 1-hour special episodes of the Troy Cory's China Harbin "Live" Webcast, co-produced in China by China TV, House of Blues, Media 100, Terran, QDesign, TVI Magazine, China Expo 2000, Eine Traum Produktion, and Firewire Media. The Show was video taped in August, 2000, in Harbin, China.
Lookradio will continue its own "To Catch A Song" format franchise, with 24 segments to be produced for next year, and VRA has agreed to distribute the "V-Music" programming format.
"Disappointment Diaries, and the Kill With a Song format programs, ("D-Diary" and "C-Song"), -- could become valuable weapons, for both the independent TV broadcaster, and the new breed TV webcaster, who wish to go international", said Bernie Schwartz, President and CEO of VRA TelePlay Previews, the program distribution and development company based in Universal City, California.
- "Proven to drive audience and demo numbers up on the
web, D-Diary and
"live" C-Song
formatted shows, embrace all of the essentials necessary
to make entertaining television. The format includes
great music, timely topics, interesting characters,
killings, war, history and is told in a "Tongue in
Cheek"- "Whodunit?" fashion."
Whether in the form of a reality or a forensic program, LookRadio's own D Diaries is available on the web daily by -- Video On Demand, (VoD) -- and To Kill With A Song. The D-Diary format is creating high rating hits on the web, "because the shows are broken down to 3 to 6 minute segments -- which enables the broadcaster to play any segment they wish -- at any time of the day - to fill in idletime.", said Bernie.
There's no reason D-Diaries, which are available on the web "live", utilizing its S90tv system, or: by streaming the (VoD) content, To Kill With A Song, in the D-Diary format, could not create big ratings for indie TV stations, "because the shows are broken down to 3 to 6 minute segments -- which are short, sweet and entertaining", said Bernie Schwartz.
The valuable weapons Disappointment Diaries, and To Kill With a Song' offer, include Mel Carter, Dennis Weaver, Joey Adams, Sam Butera, Pete Allman, James Brown, Troy Cory and the real historical footage of Ronald Reagan, Mao Zedong, Jiang Qing (Moa's wife), Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, and Zhu Rongi. The series, in part, were co-produced by Shanghai TV, CCTV, Beijing, Bohemia Film, Markiza TV and Bratislavia Produktion. -------------------
