LAS VEGAS, NV, May 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Player’s Network, Inc. (OTCQB: PNTV), a leading diversified and integrated cannabis holding company, announced today they published their 2017 Annual Report, launched a new corporate website with a Shareholder Portal, and published their 2018 Investor Relations calendar.

Restructuring and Refocusing

PNTV had its up and downs in 2017. The company experienced record high trading volume and reached a market cap in excess of $120 million. It was a challenging year with political and regulatory pressure put on the company’s share price. Many new opportunities came out of 2017 and the Company entered into multiple businesses in the Marijuana industry. With much trial and tribulation, PNTV leadership decided to stay focused on their primary business in the marijuana industry which is seed-to-sale operations including cultivation, production and retail. Staying true to their core competencies, management has also determined to narrow the scope of professionally produced content for WeedTV and has placed all marijuana media assets into a new media holding company which is wholly owned by PNTV.  The Company intends to divest assets not aligned with their investment philosophy.

Better Access, More Transparency, Shareholder Benefits, and Investor Relations Calendar

PNTV leadership have also decided on a new course for shareholder relations and increased transparency. In 2017, Leadership experimented with new, unique ways to communicate with their shareholders on a regular basis, while trying to incorporate shareholders into the everyday business of PNTV and its holdings. Moving forward, shareholder communications will be on a regularly scheduled basis and events will be listed on the Investor Relations Calendar.
