This move for JKXJ is another step to become a diversified adult media and entertainment company that gives us the capability of leveraging our library of titles, add another channel of distribution and marketing, as well as create additional value for our loyal shareholders. This is an industry first for a US based adult media production firm to launch a TV channel and we’re very excited to broaden our business and be part of an industry that is experiencing increasing levels of consumer and social acceptance. The new TV Channel will provide the Company and JKXJ’s performers with ongoing television exposure that no other production company has been able to establish. We look forward to working with the ANI team in launching this channel together.”
