News for 'ICPA' - (Punch TV Stuns the Industry with its Phenomenal Growth of 2,500% In a Year)
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- It was only 13 months ago
that Punch/IC Places OTCQB: ICPA became an official part of the world of
television broadcasting. Providing 24 hour 7 days a week, entertainment, Punch
TV immediately distinguished itself thru its extraordinary programming strategy
although an infant network, Punch TV like the giants in the television industry,

position in the market in another way. Recognizing the shifted demography in the
country, Punch TV targeted the new Urban American-Latinos, African Americans,
Asians, Caucasians, and others who share a preference for edgy, non-mainstream
programming.
But, within a matter of less than 13 months, Punch TV has achieved another
unusual accomplishment. In October 20, 2011 Punch TV was assessable in 2 million
households. As of December 2012 Punch TV will be available to 59 million
households. This represents a 2,500% growth rate in slightly over more than 1
year.
Through more than 34 affiliates, as well as a contract for direct to homes
broadcasting, Punch TV has now acquired affiliates in major markets. These
include...
