LOS ANGELES, Jan. 08, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via OTC PR WIRE -- Purespectrum Inc. (PSRU:OTC) is pleased to announce that it has acquired both Providence Film Group and Providence Films.
The Providence Film Group is an LA-based entertainment studio that produces television content, while Providence Films produces a vast range of films and documentaries.
Purespectrum will leverage the synergies of these new subsidiaries to create a wealth of quality, in-house content for OKTV, its subsidiary broadcast entertainment network. There is an ambitious content calendar that has been announced as the network aims to produce 5-7 feature films each year alongside 8-10 television shows. Additionally, future plans of Providence Films include the building of 2 full service state of the art production studios in California and Georgia.
The studios will be designed to increase employment to locals while taking advantage of available incentives provided by the state.
OKTV has enjoyed a year of immense growth, announcing record viewership figures as well as a wide range of new partnerships and acquisitions. This growth has been, in part, fueled by the variety of content that the network offers to its users on demand. This offering will be further enhanced by this recent acquisition as Providence Film Group has produced a host of quality content such as Laugh at LA, Going Beyond Story, Next Up, Mixher, Notcho Average Family, Ambush Karaoke, Opportunity Knocks, and more.
Providence Films, for its part, produced a feature documentary called Fathers of the Sport which featured Dr. J, Joe Bryant (Kobe Bryant’s father), Penny Marshall, and many other basketball legends. The critically acclaimed film was directed by Xavier X Mitchell and was released in theaters. It is currently running on Amazon and Starz, but will also air on OKTV in March 2019.
Commenting on these recent acquisitions, OKTV’s CEO Xavier X Mitchell states, “These acquisitions are a great way to end the year. It means that 2019 will see our network populated with even more quality programming that our audiences adore and flock to. This will, of course, be great for business and audiences alike.”
