eigoMANGA Announces Television Deal with Anime Network
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – September 12, 2006 – EigoMANGA LLC, a comic book
publishing studio, has announced its deal to distribute video content
through Anime Network, a subsidiary of A.D. Vision, Inc. (parent company
to ADV Films and Newtype USA) and America's #1 anime channel. With
distribution reaching 40 million households, Anime Network is not only the
largest video-on-demand offering, but is also available as a 24/7 linear
cable channel in several U.S. markets.
Under the terms of the newly signed agreement, EigoMANGA will provide
Anime Network with content from its extensive library of music videos,
live concert footage and original programming, which features
independent and mainstream Japanese music artists and groups. The content will
become part of the Network's popular music-themed Ben-To Beat Box
programming block.
EigoMANGA has been producing and distribution Japanese music and media
content through its business brand, Shibuya Airwaves, which initially
began producing and distributing Japanese music video programs for the
college close-circuit television network called “The U Network” in 2004.
Shibuya Airwaves currently broadcasts a weekly radio program in San
Francisco and produces a series of concerts and live events featuring
Japanese musicians.
Austin Osueke, CEO of EigoMANGA is excited about this partnership. “I'm
particularly interested in this venture because it will enable
independent Japanese groups to get much needed exposure because there are some
subgenres within J pop that have a strong and pervasive fan base at
anime conventions but have no exposure on television.”
“We look forward to delivering our viewers the wealth of wonderful
programming for which EigoMANGA is known,” said Stacy Slanina, Anime
Network's Director of Operations/Programming. “This content will provide an
excellent complement to our high-quality lineup of anime series,
specials and films.”
