CABLE PROGRAMMING USES WEB SITE TO DRIVE DEMAND
Web Site Design and Development Company is Awarded Fox Sports Net Web Site Development Contract
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - Fox Sports Net Florida, a basic cable channel currently available to 3.1 million cable subscribers and nearly 600,000 satellite customers, has contracted tmg3.com, the Internet Division of The Meridian Group of Virginia Beach, Va., to build its Web site, at www.iwantfoxsportsnet.com.
The objective of the new Web site is to educate current Florida cable subscribers about the Florida-focused sports programming available on Fox Sports Net. The site will include all Fox Sports Net programming to inform Web site visitors that the cable channel is the ultimate "one stop shop" for hometown Florida sports programming.
Florida residents who want to immediately and directly show their support for bringing Fox Sports Net to their local cable lineup can complete an online petition to let their local cable operator or satellite provider know that they want Fox Sports Net added to their basic cable service.
Rick Richter, president of tmg3.com adds, "Growing up with the influence of the "I Want My MTV!" advertising campaign, this Web site was a perfect fit in designing an interactive, TV-like Web site, with a heavy branding component. As marketing professionals, we focused on positioning the Fox Sports Net brand to people who don't currently have that cable channel, to ensure the new site will have more Florida residents demanding 'I Want Fox Sports Net!'"
