Posted on: Monday, 13 July 2009, 07:13 CDT

MALVERN, Pa., July 13 /PRNewswire/ -- AnySource Media, LLC, creator of the Connected HDTV Platform(TM) which allows consumers to directly connect to 100s of "virtual" on-demand channels "out of the box" in new HDTVs being introduced this year, today announced two new content partners including Comedy Time and Salacious Streets TV, both major video providers to mobile platforms. The Connected HDTV Platform extends the value of paid channels and increases revenue opportunities for ad-supported partners' existing video and advertising assets by creating a comfortable 10-foot viewing experience for Internet video.

"Mobile video usage is booming, expanding entertainment options for consumers and revenue opportunities for content providers," states Claire Cowart, senior vice president of content business development for AnySource Media. "As our name implies, AnySource Media's open architecture can easily integrate video content created for mobile devices, increasing revenue opportunities through subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) and advertising."

"Comedy entertainment is a booming industry and having multiple distribution platforms like advanced mobile devices and broadband connected HDTVs provides strategic advantages for our company," said Michael Goldman, President at Comedy Time. "We are very excited about the ability to showcase our outstanding comedians and proprietary Funnysodes(R) in a big-screen environment."

Currently distributed on Sprint TV, subscribers to Salacious Streets TV produced by Deziak Entertainment will have additional access to custom video that gives an up-close and personal look at urban life in Southern California as well as other cities throughout the U.S.

"Hip-hop music fans are a large percentage of the early adopters of mobile content," states Elgin Mack, CEO, Deziak Entertainment. "This partnership allows the consumer to constantly be in touch with what's hot in the urban streets on the big screen while in the comfort of the living room."
