VH1 Renews Original Broadband Series for Second Season

NEW YORK, March 28: VH1
has renewed its original broadband comedic series Home Purchasing Club for a second season of eight new weekly episodes,
which will be available exclusively on demand on its broadband channel VSPOT
and its companion syndicated player, beginning April 16.

Called "uproariously
funny" by TV Guide, the original scripted series, which was developed and
directed by Emmy Award-winner Brian K. Roberts (Drew Carey Show, Everybody Loves Raymond, One On One), takes an edgy and irreverent look at home shopping channels with
segments like "Kid's Corner" and "Men's Hygiene forum." In
addition to the ensemble cast from the first season, the second season will
also feature Jeff Garlin (Curb Your Enthusiasm) and David Koechner (The Office). Home Purchasing Club was created by writer/actor Sean Masterson (Whose
Line Is It Anyway, Jimmy Kimmel
Live, The Second City-Chicago) and co-written by writer/actor Jonathan Mangum (Drew
Carey Show, Wayne Brady Show, Reno 911). The series is executive produced by Generate and produced by Tom
Lowe. Tony Carbone and Tina Imm are executive producers for VH1.

Launched in July 2005 the
broadband channel VSPOT’s streams grew an average of 38 percent each month in
2006. The VSPOT syndicated player allows users and web publishers the ability
to "snag" the player and VSPOT content for their own sites. When a
user snags an episode of Home Purchasing Club, a new episode will automatically update in the
player the following week and will be available alongside the originally
"snagged" episode. The VSPOT syndicated player also offers search and
"send-to-a-friend" capabilities, which allow users to easily watch
and share episodes of Home Purchasing Club and other VSPOT content.
