Audience Rewards Partners with Ovation TV

Audience Rewards, the national patron loyalty program for Broadway, Off-Broadway, National Touring Shows and other live entertainment events, proudly announces its media and marketing partnership with Ovation TV, the 24-hour channel that is the only television network devoted exclusively to art and personal creativity.  Through innovative on-line and on-air programming, in-venue experiences, and customer rewards, the strategic partnership provides Audience Rewards with a national media platform during its launch, while giving Ovation TV a direct connection to theatergoers nationwide, including exclusive content on multi-platforms.

The groundbreaking partnership will benefit a spectrum of interests.  In addition to the cross-marketing and co-sponsorship opportunities for Audience Rewards and Ovation TV, there are program content components for Ovation TV, and myriad opportunities for advertisers and corporate sponsors to buy into "art and creativity" as never before on a national and local level.  All of which provides unprecedented entertainment and participation opportunities for consumers and arts lovers.

Ovation TV is focused on entertaining, inspiring and engaging the artist in all of us.  Ovation TV showcases the world's greatest artists in theater, dance, opera, literature, film, visual and fine art, music, popular arts, design, photography and architecture.   The network features original programming, a multi-platform content strategy and partnerships with leading American cultural and art institutions and educational organizations.  Following its April 2007 re-launch, Ovation TV reaches approximately 16 million subscribers on DIRECTV (channel 274) and on cable systems in key markets throughout the U.S.  Ovation TV also has master distribution agreements in place with most major cable operators. In August 2006 Ovation TV was acquired by Hubbard Media Group and a group of other private investors which includes Arcadia Investment Partners, Corporate Partners II, Perry Capital, and The Weinstein Company.
