Dear Reader,
The recent premiere of “The Wizards NYC” online reality show delivered to the viewing public by Gen2Media Corporation (OTCBB:GTWO) is a tremendous event for the Florida based online video pioneer.
Obviously, it’s yet another top-level agreement with an entertainment entity. But there’s more beneath the surface.
Gen2’s pedigree in the ever-growing online video arena is well-established. A simple review of their news feed and the “Who’s Who” roster of elite companies, brands and entertainers assures as much. But the real value in the Wednesday release may be in the existence of the series itself, that a project like The Wizards, which features a reality show based around the D.J.-driven nightlife in New York City nightclubs, went directly to the web.
Not MTV, VH1, or any of the other traditional reality show purveyors. This show was distributed on a popular radio station’s website and legendary rapper 50 Cent’s domain. And the viewers tuned-in in huge numbers.
And Gen2, of course, delivered the video using its proprietary technology.
It seems clear that this is a sign of things to come, that the television is no longer the exclusive province of video. In fact, the advent of video content on the web should further unsettle network executives. Factor in video friendly smartphones like the iPhone or BlackBerry and you know that the times they are a’changin’.
And as it does the early leaders, those with the technology of the near-future like Gen2 Media certainly stand to benefit.

Gen2Media and Emmis NY Premiere Reality Show on Legendary Hip Hop Artist 50 Cent's Official Website and Hot97.com
ORLANDO, Fla., March 3, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gen2Media Corporation (OTCBB:GTWO), an innovative video technology company offering an Online Video Platform, video production and online video advertising, and Emmis NY announce the premiere of the reality show The Wizards NYC. The show is executive produced by Ben Finley, VP, Branded Entertainment, and Emmis NY and delivered over Gen2Media's Online Video platform. Gen2Media's production team worked directly with long time MTV producers Pamela Gimenez and Serife Turhan, the creators of the show.
The docu-series is a symbolic parallel to "The Wizard of Oz" with disc jockeys as the "wizards" behind the booth setting the rules and tone of the night, controlling the crowd through the power of their hands. Through different perspectives -- the promoters, the club managers, the party girl, the wife/girlfriend, and the kids -- Gen2 and Emmis explore the world they truly live in; a world filled with glitz, glamour and more grinding -- where anything can happen.
Gen2Media partnered with Emmis NY to premiere the show. The first episode aired to viewers online at legendary hip hop artist 50 Cent's website www.thisis50.com and Emmis' Hot 97 site www.hot97.com/tv on Wednesday, February 24th.
"It was not a surprise that a huge audience tuned in to the radio station's website at www.Hot97.com or on 50 Cent's website at 8PM in the evening to watch The Wizards NYC reality show. It is truly groundbreaking, and a win-win for both the audience and advertisers," notes Benjamin Finley, VP, Branded Entertainment, Emmis Communications Corporation.
"Advertisers have the opportunity to be integrated into upcoming productions of The Wizards NYC. In addition, online video advertising will be delivered using In-Stream Video Advertising with Pre-Mid-Post Rolls, and Skinned player around the programming. Sponsor messaging carries through to partner sites such as iconic Rap Artist 50 Cent's website," states Mary Spio, Co-Founder and President of Gen2Media.
