Unlimited Free and Equal Wi-Fi TV Station Time for 2008 U.S. Presidential Candidates
Jan 29, 2007, News Report
Leveling criticism at traditional TV coverage of U.S. Presidential campaigns, and assailing the high cost of political advertising, Wi-Fi TV Inc.'s chairman announced an innovative plan which will provide voters with a new kind of Presidential campaign coverage.
"Wi-Fi TV Inc., with the launch of its new live interactive TV platform on February 19 (www.Wi-FiTV.com), is giving each Presidential candidate the opportunity to have their own Wi-Fi TV Station, with the content 100% controlled by the candidate. There will be no cost to the candidate, there will be complete equality for the space given to the candidates, and the content can be replicated from the campaign's official web site, created expressly for Wi-Fi TV, or be any combination of video, ads, webcasts or blogs that the campaign desires. All content will be prerecorded, except that Wi-Fi TV will also allow equal time for a limited series of live webcasts preceding the election in November 2008," Wi-Fi TV Inc. chairman Alex Kanakaris said today.
"Traditional network and cable TV spends a lot of time on nonsense, like what clothes and makeup a candidate is wearing, and very little time on the substance of issues. In addition, the cost of buying ad space on TV is costly.
"Thanks to Social Internet TV pioneered by Wi-Fi TV, which now offers over 450 live stations over the Internet, and the Wi-Fi TV station program, candidates can tell their story without interruption and biased commentary and without cost for the airtime," Mr. Kanakaris added.
"Wi-Fi TV expects to increase its free memberships and number of total viewers as a result of providing this unlimited and unbiased coverage of the 2008 Presidential race," Mr. Kanakaris concluded.
Wi-Fi TV says it will use standardized criteria to determine the merits of whether a Presidential candidate qualifies for the free Wi-Fi TV station.
