PR Newswire (US)
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Oct. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Retro
Television Network (RTN), which is nationally owned and distributed
by Equity Media Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ:EMDA), announced today
that COX Television plans to add a third RTN affiliate on its El
Paso, TX station. The network will launch in 2008 on a digital
stream of KFOX-TV, the local FOX affiliate that serves the El Paso,
TX / Las Cruces, NM market. "So far, three COX stations are
affiliated with RTN and the reason for this positive response is
because their schedule offers a cohesive program niche that we can
effectively market to viewers," said Bruce Baker, Executive Vice
President of COX Television. "Additionally, clients can relate to
RTN both in terms of program environment and target market, so it
is a great combination." "Viewers in these three COX Television
markets will fall in love all over again with Love, American Style
and will be on the edge of their seats as Dr. Richard Kimble,
played by David Jansen, is The Fugitive on the run trying to prove
his innocence," said Mark Dvornik, Executive Vice President of RTN.
"In the evening, audiences will enjoy seeing Robert Stack as Elliot
Ness in The Untouchables." RTN is a new television network that
provides each affiliate a customized feed with classic hit shows,
in addition to local programming including news, weather and
sports. RTN is specifically designed to go on a broadcast digital
channel and provides local broadcasters with a way to get ratings
and successfully monetize their digital spectrum. RTN will launch
in Pittsburgh on COX's WPXI-DT this Monday (October 15) and in Reno
on COX's KRXI-DT on January 1. About Equity Media Holdings
