Entertainment Industries Council Works with TV Worldwide to Create and Launch 'Health and Wellness' Internet TV Channel with Webcast Highlighting National Recovery Month, Live from Washington D.C.

Washington, D.C., Sept. 5, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TV Worldwide, since 1999, a pioneering web-based global TV network, announced that it had teamed with The Entertainment Industries Council, Inc. (EIC) to launch the Health and Wellness Internet TV Channel on the EICtv Network ( www.EICNetwork.TV ). The channel was launched on Wednesday, September 4 during a well-trafficked live video webcast of the Annual Recovery Month Luncheon in Washington D.C. highlighting September as National Recovery Month ( www.RecoveryMonth.gov ). The event, organized in cooperation with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA, www.SAMHSA.gov ) was sponsored by EIC, National Association for Children of Alcoholics, (NACoA), the Betty Ford Center, Braeburn Pharmaceuticals, Alkermes and Hazelden.


The event and webcast featured several presentations and a panel discussion that included Dennis Wholey, TV Talk Show Host; Erin Brady, Miss USA 2013; and Tara Connor Miss USA 2006.

During his presentation Mr. Wholey stated, "When I say I'm a recovering alcoholic, I say that with no embarrassment, no shame, no guilt because I've come to understand that it's an illness."

Ms. Brady, who grew up in a family surrounded by addiction remarked, "I want to help all of the kids I know that are out there that have grown up in similar situations."

Asked by Mr. Wholey about her what brought her to her knees to start her own recovery, Ms. Connor said, "I was very willing when I found out that addiction was a disease and there was a solution."
 

"We are pleased to have been selected to work with an organization of the caliber of the Entertainment Industries Council in launching the Health and Wellness Internet TV Channel on the EICtv Network," said Dave Gardy, Chairman and CEO of TV Worldwide. "Under the leadership of Brian Dyak, EIC has become renowned internationally for developing innovative solutions to connect entertainment creators with research and experts on health and social issues to fully engage audiences. The EICtv Network is another one of those innovations, which will soon expand to launch the Science, Technology and Engineering (SET) Channel on Sept. 18. It was great to see this launch webcast so well attended on line."

"We are pleased to work with TV Worldwide as we launch the Health and Wellness Channel on the EICtv Network," stated Brian Dyak, CEO and Co-Founder of the Entertainment Industries Council.
