February 14, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Entertainment News
SpellCasters Showcase, www.spellcasters.com, the premiere third screen VoD network announced a new pricing policy this month. Moving away from a more traditional PPV structure, SpellCasters is implementing a monthly flat-rate program, allowing their viewers unlimited access to SpellCasters’ basic content for one low fee. SpellCasters Showcase offers viewers entertainment ranging from comedy and magic to extreme sports, fringe video to lifestyle series, feature film to independent shorts. The SpellCasters library includes content from around the globe and serves both the domestic and international third screen audience. “Beginning in February,” announced President M. ‘Hep’ Sylvanus,” We’re going to let the audience watch all they want!”SpellCasters Showcase was built to provide both audience and content providers an easy means to connect with each other, free from the restraints of traditional broadcast. SpellCasters broadcasts only licensed content for streaming broadband and mobile download consumption, avoiding the legal entanglements of viral aggregators. “We pay our providers!” explains Sylvanus, “Both SpellCasters and the ‘Tube’ were at NATPE, while we came back with great new content, Viacom gave the ‘Tube’ an ultimatum!”
SpellCasters has established new benchmarks in the third screen industry by giving content providers the majority of sub revenues. “It’s just like a carnival… People go to the midway to be entertained, but they know it costs money to have fun. The audience is willing to pay for content, but the audience wants to support the content provider, that half starved independent filmmaker, not some big corporate search engine! SpellCasters gives the highest splits in the industry and the audience appreciates it… They know their entertainment dollar is going to the people who made the video!”
SpellCasters Showcase is built on a world-wide data center network managed by Globix, part of the Quality Tech family, with transactions managed by WebPay’s ClickandBuy, whose clients include Apple’s I-Tunes. The Showcase has quietly emerged as one of the strongest, most versatile platforms in the world. SpellCasters provides complete platform services… encoding, set up, and streaming… at no cost to content creators. This equates to zero cost of delivery for content providers.
