That’s a great demographic to target, and it reinforces our model of being the destination video site that has something for everyone.”

Mokena, IL (PRWEB) May 6, 2006 -- EVTV1.com has launched The Video Game Channel on its video network at www.EVTV1.com. EVP Tom Zegar commented, “This channel offers video clips highlighting popular games and news relating to the video game industry. Video games aren’t just for kids anymore. The average gamer is 30 years old with plenty of disposable income. That’s a great demographic to target, and it reinforces our model of being the destination video site that has something for everyone.”

EVTV1 has announced license deals with dozens of studios representing hundreds of thousands of hours of programming. That content is being divided into 39 channels and sub-channels. Each channel is supervised by a “channel guide” specialist who chooses the featured items for the day and oversees the clip selection process. This method ensures that the most entertaining clips make it onto the site.

Zegar continued, “It's labor intensive, but what are you going to do? It is this programming of licensed content that sets us apart from other video sites. Now, between our search function and our user friendly sub-channels, it’s easier than ever for our visitors to quickly find the video clips they want to watch. We also have RSS feeds available so people can be notified when their favorite channel has new clips. We have to help people find the clips they are looking for so that their experience with us is enjoyable.”

All of the video streams are free for the viewers. EVTV1 is monetized through pre-roll advertising: Vonage, 1-800 PetMeds, Ask Jeeves, and eDiets have been the first advertisers to test EVTV1’s advertising program. EVTV1 has 3.2 million unique viewers per month and has tripled its traffic in the last 60 days.
