Professional Podcasts Offers Video News "Wrapper" Service for Companies, Community Organizations That Can't Get TV News Coverage of Their Events

Are you still using traditional print or terrestrial broadcast advertising?

Have you or your public relations professional tried to get local TV news programs to cover your activities, events or outreach to your community?

How's that working for you?

Print and broacast ads are expensive -- and usually not the most effective way to reach busy, digitally savvy young customers.

Customers in the important 25-44 age demographic now spend very little time with printed newspapers or broadcast television. They get most of their information online.

You already have discovered that busy and understaffed local TV news organizations don't cover most community and organizational events.

If it's not a traffic accident, a "perp walk" by a local politician, or some other civil disturbance, your event doesn't stand much of a chance of getting on TV.

Why waste your efforts? We can produce TV news video for you, and distribute it to a worldwide audience over the Internet!

We can help you ensure that you reach these web surfing customers effectively through video news features like these. This approach is surprisingly affordable. Our news wrapper feature video service can distribute your video report through your website, YouTube and other video sharing sites, for on DVDs, and other uses.

Each of the young people received a $1,500 scholarship from Walmart and a $100 gift card for the shopping spree. The state winner will earn an additional $20,000 in scholarship money and the chance to compete in the Regional Youth of the Year contest, leading to the national competition later this year.

'Lost' Penn Central Movie Draws More Than 16,000 Views


March 3, 2009 UPDATE: A fresh digitization of the movie has been uploaded. While our VHS copy of the film was made from the original, it's still 35 years old. This is as good as it's probably going to get.

A movie produced by the bankruptcy trustee for the Penn Central Transportation Company in 1974 and thought to have been destroyed has received more than 16,000 views on our video platform. The movie was produced as part of a lobbying effort to gain federal aid for the beleaguered railroad. It's probably one of the few corporate videos that was deliberately produced to show how bad the company's condition was. Watch the video here.
