Unorthodox Entrepreneur Vows to Create and Launch TV Channel in Just 31 Days
People who knew Patrick Knight, CEO of Me V (UK) Ltd, the UK-based company that promises to build and launch a TV channel in just 31 days, when he was young wouldn'st have trusted him to cut their grass much less head up a multi-million dollar e-commerce enterprise. High School drop-out, homeless and in trouble with the law, Patrick'ss life was spiralling down quickly. But just as in the fairy tales, a white knight rode into Patrick'ss life and snatched the boy from the jaws of defeat.
Patrick went on to grab the honour of becoming one of the first Mobile Entertainment millionaires who was smart enough to recognize the fortune waiting to be made in downloadable ringtones, as well as becoming a business coach, featured speaker and mentor for businesspeople who want to turn their professional or personal life around.
And now at 27 years old, he'ss about to turn the television broadcasting industry on its head with the launch of MeV.tv which Mr. Knight says is soon to be the fastest, easiest and most entertaining way for everyday people to share their talents with the world through a global web portal, global network of TV channels, and mobile phone networks.
According to Mr. Knight, The concept centres around a web portal where anyone can set up their own talent contests to attract anyone who wants to win a prize or have the chance to appear on national TV.
The contests are open to any type of legitimate, family-friendly contests including beauty contests, karaoke or lip synching contests, air guitar concerts, feats of intelligence or strength, stupid pet tricks, stupid human tricks, you name it.
According to Mr. Knight, The concept is also perfectly designed for companies that want to discover new spokes models or other talent to promote their products or services, pet food companies looking for the next Morris the Cat, or any organization that wants to be able to set up, promote and execute a nationwide, or even a world-wide contest without worrying about all of the infrastructure needed to support it.
Visitors to the site can view the contests and cast their votes online or via SMS on their cell phones. They can also sign up to run their own contests or become a contestant in an existing one.
Once the web-based portion of any competition is completed, the votes will be tallied and the final contestants will have their day of fame on national TV and around the world via the Internet, where the winner will be picked by viewers voting from their mobile phone with simple SMS messages!
Think American Idol but with an endless variety of acts and competitions, says Mr. Knight.
Mr. Knight is also planning to launch the concept in Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, France and he is looking for entertainment and broadcast industry partners in other countries.
Convinced that he'sll have his doubters, Mr. Knight has set up a
video blog where viewers can log in every day and watch him and his team as they progress through the intricacies of getting a TV channel launched in 31 days. After the launch, the
video blog will continue as a camera'ss-eye view into the daily business life of someone who is intent on becoming the next Sir Richard Branson. Doubters and believers both are welcome to visit the daily
video blog at [UnorthodoxEntrepreneur.com __title__ UnorthodoxEntrepreneur.com. It promises to be interesting, if not fascinating.
