CES 2013 Broadcast Location!

CES 2013

I am very pleased to announce that for CES 2013 we will have our Broadcast booth just outside the North Hall. This is a great location not only for our perspective sponsors, but also will be incredible for the amount of foot traffic we will see at the studio. This will be the third year we have live streamed the show and like last year will be live for 45 hours of coverage with a new guest every 10 minutes.

We provide the widest coverage of the show of any network at CES. Pre-show coverage starts December 1st.

As an update the TPN team, has ramped up their planning for the show, hotels are reserved cars rented along with a 100 additional items we have to cover before the show. We are still more than 4 months out but excitement is already building.

CES 2013 Planning Underway

CES 2013

Several weeks ago the TPN team had their first planning meeting for coverage of the 2013 International Consumer Electronics Show. The response was great, and we have a great team already on the roster. So we are marching forward in our show coverage planning.

If you watched our 2012 live coverage we racked up 670,000 viewer hours on the 25 sites that simulcast our content, with an average of 14,000 live viewers per hour during the live coverage.

Post show we published over 280 interviews on each of our participating host sites racking up some serious Google juice. Those interviews utilized or standard distribution methods have now been watched 10′s of millions of times over 100+ media devices, including Google TV, Roku, Boxee, Samsung Smart Tv, Tablets of all makes and just about every other media device with a screen.

As you know those spots covered every cool and note worthy gadget and consumer product that CES had to offer. Our viewer numbers are already hitting record numbers for us, and will continue to accumulate views as Google drives traffic to all of that content on our host sites and Tpn.tv.

If you appreciated our coverage over these past 7 years, we are on the hunt for our 2013 sponsors for the show, and we have one amazing advertising opportunity for no more than three sponsors spots. You only have a few days to react before we distribute the media kit, so get your hooks in early for a shot of being one our 2013 CES sponsors.

Never a Charge!

CES 2013

We have been asked by a number of vendors whether we charge for our Interviews.

Never have, Never will. We would not compromise our editorial integrity to even consider charging for an interview. The handful of sponsors we have for the show will be clearly designated in signage, on air and in post show produced content.

Because some think we are a vendor we have received email solicitations from some media outlets asking us to pay for an interview which is quite shocking. Frankly we are surprised that the Consumers Electronic Association puts up with media companies that do this. We believe in covering vendors that have cool an innovative products not pay for play.

Our expenses to cover CES exceed $40,000 but the value of the conversations and new relationships is worth the expense. Millions of people will watch our coverage because they know from history our team’s integrity and our ability to dig down in weeds and find the cool stuff.

While we would not be able to do this show without our sponsors, we look forward to bringing you unbiased coverage of the show.
