HDNet to Premiere New Comedy Series

DALLAS, March 5: On March
9, HDNet will premiere The All-For-Nots, an original comedy series following a fictional indie band, which is
produced by Michael Eisner’s independent new-media studio, Vuguru.

The series’ March 9
premiere will air as a lead-in at 7:45 p.m. to HDNet’s Sunday Night Concert
Series, and will subsequently air
on multiple platforms via the Internet and mobile services, including Bebo,
YouTube and Verizon Wireless’ V CAST Video service. Following its premiere the
show will move to its regular time slot of 7:30 pm every Sunday.

The original comedy series
follows a documentary crew filming a fictional indie rock band called “The
All-For-Nots” as they travel the U.S. on an ill-fated, poorly planned,
under-funded tour. The band visits 24 cities during the filming of the series.
Each episode incorporates music and live performance events and will run
between 7-10 minutes in length. In addition to Vuguru, the show is produced by
Thom Woodley and Kathleen Grace of Dinosaur Diorama.

“We’re thrilled to be a
part of this multi-platform series,” said Mark Cuban, the
president and co-founder of HDNet. “It’s a perfect fit for us. Viewers can keep
up with the series via phone and the Internet, but every Sunday they will get
the ultimate experience by watching it on HDNet in true high definition and 5.1
sound.”

“As Vuguru strives to
continuously produce the highest-quality content with its new series, The
All-For-Nots, HDNet delivers the
highest level of digital broadcast quality available,” said Eisner. “Broadcasting
outstanding story-driven content through the best possible technology available
provides the audience with the ultimate viewing experience.”
