Interactive Sales to Be a Part of Social Internet TV(TM) Platform
Wi-Fi TV(TM) Inc. (WTVI) and Collectible Concepts Group, Inc. (CCNG) held a
joint press conference this morning to announce the purchase of a Wi-Fi TV(TM)
Station by Collectible.
"The Wi-Fi TV platform, with live TV, live chat, interactive shopping cart
and even free online phone calls, combined with multiple categories of channels
and breaking news about these topics, is shaping up to be the greatest television
and Internet marketing hybrid for 2007," said Paul Lipschutz, Chairman
of Collectible Concepts Group, Inc.
"Our own Collectible Concepts TV station will be available globally on
the Internet. Wi-Fi TV allows viewers to chat live about the program they are
watching in a chat box beneath the viewing screen, and all our products will
be included in the Wi-Fi TV Shopping Cart. Collectible Concepts will benefit
greatly from owning a Wi-Fi TV Station," added Mr. Lipschutz.
"With exclusive and licensed merchandise representing major sports franchises, the military and entertainment, Collectible Concepts is bringing yet another compelling reason for consumers to watch Wi-Fi TV in 2007," said Alex Kanakaris, Chairman of Wi-Fi TV.
"Wi-Fi TV has already loaded hundreds of exclusive products from Collectible
into our online shopping cart, and we are excited that Collectible Concepts
is creating video about its wooden baseball collectibles and other products
that our viewers will be able to watch online," Mr. Kanakaris added.
"We will be periodically featuring Collectible Concepts Inc. in videos
on our newly designed home page (launching in the first quarter of 2007), and
this will include exclusive specials and live webcasts with the Collectible
Concepts team," Mr. Kanakaris concluded.
"It is our intent to give Collectible Concepts a forum under such topics
as Shopping, Baseball, Basketball, Football and more to promote their products
in 2007," he added.
"We were also delighted to provide in-house Wi-Fi TV financing for the
purchase, and that Collectible Concepts became our first Wi-Fi TV Station sale
to kick off the New Year," Mr. Kanakaris concluded.
"While other companies were resting for the holidays, Wi-Fi TV was closing
the deal to make Collectible Concepts Inc. an innovator in global marketing
through our Social Internet TV platform," said Joe Soto, National Sales
Manager, Wi-Fi TV Inc.
