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,
entered the market with 70% original programming. But, Punch TV also defines its
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...
