TVN Inks VOD Deal with TEN
By Karen Brown -- Multichannel News, 6/10/2002 2:00:00 PM
TVN Entertainment Corp.'s video-on-demand lineup is getting an erotic jolt thanks to a deal forged with The Erotic Networks.
Under the deal, the New Frontier Media Inc. pay television subsidiary will provide 40 to 50 hours of VOD adult programming to TVN's distribution and content-management platform. The total amount of programming will be flexible based on the MSOs' preferences, according to TVN senior vice president of business development Jim Riley.
TEN is hoping to expand its VOD reach, which stands now at 1.2 million homes.
'Our agreement with TVN underscores our commitment to remain the leader in VOD distribution for adult entertainment,' TEN president Ken Boenish said in a release. 'By working with TVN and utilizing its `ADONISS' system, we're increasing our ability to deliver VOD content in an efficient way that delivers higher buy-rates and profitability to cable operators and greater selection and variety for the viewing audience.'
TVN's distribution covers several major MSOs and reaches 20 million subscribers total. It offers VOD, subscription-VOD and advertising-on-demand content, including shows from cable's three premium networks, 500 hours of basic-network on-demand programs, major movie titles and a myriad of specialized content ranging from Spanish-language to children's programs.
While part of that lineup has included TVN's own adult content, the TEN pact is the first signed for adult content from another provider. TVN plans to expand its content library to 1,300 hours in July.
