Alfred Haber Holds On to VGAs

PALISADES PARK: Following on the international success of the 2009 Video Game Awards (VGAs), Alfred Haber Distribution will again serve as the exclusive distributor for the Spike TV event.

The VGAs are a two-hour tribute to the video gaming industry, honoring outstanding achievement of games, designers, animation, technology, music and performances of the past year. The awards are set to air on Spike this December. This will be the show’s eight year in existence, but only the second time that it is being offered around the world, both times by Alfred Haber.

“The world of video games is the fastest-growing segment of the entertainment industry, worth approximately $31 billion, and gamers are extremely loyal customers,” commented Alfred Haber, the company’s founder. “The VGAs is the industry’s biggest event and we’re excited to bring this special to the huge young gaming audience around the world.”

“After a great international launch that covered 180 countries we’re looking forward to working with Alfred Haber to take the show to the next level overseas,” said Eddie Dalva, the senior VP of content at MTV Entertainment Group.
