Carson, CA,   In keeping with its company goal of providing original programming suitable for the entire family, Punch TV is pushing an aggressive plan to expand its animation programming.

Punch Television Network announced today that they have signed former Far East Disney Studio Production Manger Leo Sullivan to head-up its new animation division. Mr. Sullivan will be working closely with all Punch TV departments to create new and exciting animation projects. He will also be reviewing current animation programming for possible renewals, improvements, updates or possible cancellations.

A majority of the new animation projects will be geared to children, but with the success of Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, Punch TV is also hoping to offer new innovative animated series for adult viewers.

“We are thrilled to have Mr. Sullivan join the Punch TV family, said Punch Television CEO Joseph Collins, “his pedigree in animation is unmatched in today’s television landscape. I look forward to seeing what creative shows result from our collaboration.”

Mr. Sullivan has worked for most of the major studios including Warner Brothers, Bob Clampett, Hanna Barbara, and DIC before moving onto form his own production studio. For 10 years his company produced animation and educational videos. In 1992 it reopened to resume multimedia production and distribution. Mr. Sullivan’s work includes involvement with the groundbreaking Fat Albert series and Beany and Cecil from the 1960’s.

Punch TV

Punch TV is the only African American network that brings a roster that includes such a high percentage of new programming. Marketing research reveals that African Americans tend to be trendsetters in areas such as apparel, automobiles, and food.  Punch TV has incorporated this pattern into its core programming.  Our late night show, hosted by Damien Hall (who is currently with the new jack swing group Guy), is sure to quench your late night thirst.  We have a complement of original talk shows, one of which stars veteran actress, singer, writer and producer, Sheryl Lee Ralph.  Punch TV has selected as one of its anchor shows, “Get Thee Behind Me”, an original secular drama with faith-based messages that strategically integrates comedy. In addition, Punch TV has acquired rights to a never seen before documentary about the life and death of Michael Jackson-The King of Pop.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

 Punch TV Network differs from current “African American” television networks in another aspect. While definitely an African American network that uses research-driven approaches to target African Americans audiences, Punch TV was also designed to deliver entertainment to multicultural audiences.  Visit our website: www.punchtv.net.  Punch TV represents a Multi-Media experience that satisfies and excites viewers
