Free 24/7 Music Network Round-the-clock TV Programming

Dallas – Ft. Worth to be First U.S. City Offering Free 24/7 Music Network Round-the-clock TV Programming Includes Local Music Scene

There's no need to wait for the official national conversion to digital TV in June: Dallas's K31GL-TV is already live with digital multi-cast programming, including the country's first live feed of free 24-hour music programming. The new channel, THECOOLTVSM, will appear as channel 31.3 on digital-ready TVs (and those with converter boxes).

THECOOLTV is the newest offering from Cool Music Network, LLC, a Kansas-based multi-platform entertainment company. CMN remains an undisputed leader in live event recording with on-site mastering for immediate sales of concert CDs, DVDs, and memory sticks. Meanwhile, CMN has since created a fast-growing website for sales of its products and now rounds out its distribution with THECOOLTV. The company's CEO, Joe Comparato, explains: "We say We're ON: on location, on the web, on your handheld, and on TV. We understand today's music fans want their music where and when they what it, and that’s what we deliver!”

To launch THECOOLTV, CMN has secured videos and concert footage from major records labels including Universal Music Group, EMI Capitol, Warner Music Group, and Sony BMG. Additionally, CMN has brought on thousands of specialty content providers including independent labels, artists and promoters. John “Digger” Peláez, CMN's Senior Vice President of On Demand Services, explains: "We have programming for every music lover, from music videos and live concerts to band profiles and even feature films about the world's greatest musicians."

The technology behind THECOOLTV makes the most of the upcoming nationwide conversion from analog to digital broadcast television.  The digital format allows each current local station, like K31GL's Channel 31, to actually broadcast a network of multicast channels. Comparato explains that THECOOLTV was an easy choice for Dallas' K31GL-D: "It's the only available source for 'all music, all the time' and even provides us the ability to highlight the exciting local music scene in Dallas. We believe our viewers will really appreciate this kind of entertainment programming."
