NickerNetwork Announces Initial Channel and Program LineUp for
December 15th Launch
Houston, TX - Nicker Communications has set the initial program lineup
for the December 15th launch of its online, on-demand equestrian
television network. With 25+ channels scheduled for activation within
the first 45 days of its online service, the company will go live with
ten channels for its beta test launch.
Providing a wide selection of unique equestrian channels all dedicated
to a variety of horse-oriented themes and subjects, NickerNetwork is
the first Internet-based, on-demand multi-channel television network
targeted to the horse world.
Initial channels include CowboyTV, DownTheStretchTV, Hunter/JumperTV,
NaturalHorsemanshipTV, LongEarsTV, PegasusTV, PiaffeTV, TrainerTV,
VetBarnTV and WorldOfHorsesTV, to be followed shortly by
CrossCountryTV, NoviceHorsemanTV, StadiumJumpingTV, Blinkers&TugsTV,
HorseCareTV, the indvidual trainer channels and more.
Some of the featured programming available on December 15 will include
the reining competition from the FEI 2006 World Equestrian Games, the
2007 European Championships in Dressage, Eventing and Showjumping, and
numerous original documentary and training series covering many
aspects of the horse world. The variety of channels and programming
will grow substantially during 2008 as the network creates its own
original programs and series.
With program libraries representing hundreds of hours of high-quality
television and video programming focused on the horseworld, and
exclusive new program series being produced just for NickerNetwork,
NickerTV presents a viable and potent alternative to traditional
television networks for viewers.
Utilizing a single website that functions as the portal to a
television distribution system, it mimics the structure of a cable or
satellite company, yet with a worldwide -- not domestic -- customer
base. The advertising structure is completely geo-specific; video ads
are delivered according to the global location of the viewer.
Not only is the ad-supported NickerNetwork available at no cost to its
viewers, rental and purchase download options are available for every
program.
The founder of Nicker Communications, Sally Lasater, said, "According
to a recent article in the Los Angeles Times, the entertainment giants
have proclaimed that the future lies online. Within the not so distant
future, their vast libraries of television shows and movies will be
available online, and on-demand. People will soon be able to watch on
their own schedule. Today, Nicker is on the cutting edge of this
technology and will provide access to the viewing public for producers
of high-quality equestrian programming who have found themselves
locked out or out-priced trying to get their shows on-air. It's now a
whole new ball game."
Nicker Network will be available to anyone with a broadband connection
anywhere in the world. Content providers, including producers
specializing in all areas of equestrian lifestyles and disciplines,
are invited to contact the company for program submission information.
Content provider and advertising information is now available on the
Nicker website.
