"We've developed a platform where people can join the national conversation. A place where they can be inspired, laugh together, or just sit back and enjoy entertainment with a similar outlook and perspective," said Kevin McFeeley, President and Chief Operating Officer, RIGHTNETWORK.
RIGHTNETWORK was developed for those 50 million Americans underserved when it comes to media entertainment choices reflecting their political alignments. The network is serving up original and acquired comedies, dramas, reality shows, news magazines, animated shorts and more.
RIGHTNETWORK has an increasing Video On Demand and Internet distribution with cable operators and online content providers, including 10 hours of free VOD programming on Verizon FiOS, together with offerings on Blue Ridge, Sky Angel, Roku, Sezmi and Amazon.com. The network will also provide content with Nokia through their Ovi mobile store.
PROGRAMMING
Sample programming at launch includes, among others:
-- Running: Follow first-time candidates as they run for public office. A
reality series told primarily in the first-person, RUNNING is not just
political, it's personal; a fly-on-the-wall expose of what real-life
is like for these professionals and family members running for public
office. Whether running for the Senate or a seat in the House of
Representatives, their stories begin with the enthusiasm of someone
determined to make a difference. It all leads right up to the day
voters decide on November 2, 2010.
-- Moving Numbers: This sitcom takes you behind the scenes of the often
dysfunctional and always entertaining Sanders campaign. Campaign
Manager Jason Mahoney (Peter McCain) and his quirky cadre of
consultants try to defy the odds on a quest to help Robert Sanders
(John Colton) and his wife Beth (Monique Parent) win an election to
the U.S. Senate.
-- Right to Laugh: Join comedian Evan Sayet and some of the most popular
stand up comics around for an evening of big laughs and good
old-fashioned fun. Each episode features three or four comedians on
stage to deliver biting political satire, pop culture skewering and a
message we can all get behind, more laughter in our lives.
