Valcom to Launch Family Television Network
CLEARWATER, FL--(Marketwire - September 3, 2008) - Valcom, Inc., (
"With Faith TV already broadcasting out of our Clearwater teleport
facility, in which we manage and operate this network, we enjoy the synergy
to launch our own channels and accomplish our overall business goals and
bring in share holder equity," says Vince Vellardita, CEO / President of
Valcom. "The term 'programming' is now and for the future driven by
content," he added. " Our audience is excited about finding programming
that fits their needs and they are loyal to a fault."
Jim West, President of FaithTV, says the new ownership will enable the
network to expand into traditional and emerging distribution markets. "We
see a tremendous potential in IPTV as a new and effective way to reach new
homes with our family-friendly programming. We believe our new programming
lineup will be compelling for cable MSO's and DBS operators as well.
America's families want a safe haven for their families to be entertained,
educated and edified." West previously launched two other networks and is a
42-year Broadcasting veteran.
The station currently transmits nationally on Sky Angel IPTV with delivery
of more 1-million full-time and 17-million part-time direct to homes via
over 65 family TV and Radio channels.
Valcom is building on the future of IPTV as their research denotes a
growing, and valued market.
Over the next two years, the company will actively be building the network
to reach its potential of 50 million homes. With a short term financial
forecast of growing to 4-million full time homes by 2nd Quarter, 2009,
models in this industry indicate that implementation of programming
expansion typically results in doubling viewership and that when
households reach 50 million the value will increase to upwards of
$100-million.
Mr. Vellardita enjoys 30 years of experience the entertainment industry
having turned Valcom, Inc. into an independent entertainment company having
a 275 million dollar market cap in previous years. He strategically led
the company in acquiring property and studios in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and

long-term contracts with Paramount Pictures CBS' series "JAG" and "NCIS"
and Walt Disney's Sabans "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers." Having consulted
with broadcasters and studios internationally he continues long-standing
relationships throughout the entertainment industry. Vellardita has intent
to repeat his successful formula with plans that include family programming
through two new television networks.
Valcom's recent acquisition of Chameleon Communications Group assets gives
Valcom valuable expertise in broadcast transmission and network operations
which further secures the growth of family TV. Over the last three years
