Valcom intends to purchase Faith TV to be re-launched and positioned as a family television network. The agreement is set to close September 30th. The purchase of the network will add additional revenue to Valcom which will integrate their existing studios, expertise in production, a film and TV library and other assets toward plans to double and then triple the network's size in the next 1-2 years.
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.
