LOS ANGELES, Nov. 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via OTC PR WIRE -- OKTV (Opportunity Knocks Television), a wholly owned subsidiary of Purespectrum Inc. (PSRU:OTC), has completed production of the first episode of its flagship reality series, “Opportunity Knocks”.
The much-anticipated show, hosted by Lanika Wise and OKTV’s CEO, Xavier “X” Mitchell, aims to reward the silent heroes of America who put others before themselves each and every day. It’s a show centered around the concept of giving back to those who have given so much to others.
The 12-part series aims to give deserving individuals throughout the U.S. opportunities to pursue their dreams. Applicants can nominate either themselves or somebody else through a simple submission process where they have the chance to expand upon the achievements and sacrifices made by the individual.
This positive message of the show helps OKTV to support its mission of bringing families back together through engaging programming.
Discussing the new show, OKTV’s CEO, Xavier “X” Mitchell, who also directed the show which was produced by Providence Film Group, spoke about the challenge of capturing the positive feelings created while shooting:
“Shooting was an incredible experience and we are confident that we have captured that magic in the very first episode. We can’t wait for our viewers to explore the touching story we have to tell. I personally feel very privileged to be able to tell these stories and shine a light on some of the special people that do amazing things for people each day. I believe that the surge in viewership is strongly correlated with anticipation of this unique show.”
The impending release comes at a time where traditional TV models are being upended by original programming created by digital companies. Speaking about this, Mitchell added:
“These are indeed exciting times for the entertainment industry and we strongly believe that ‘Opportunity Knocks’ can add momentum to the wave of quality original programming.”
Just last month OKTV announced record monthly viewership with over 250 million unique visits in a 30-day period. The network hopes original programming will help to maintain this positive momentum. In addition, Purespectrum Inc. (PSRU:OTC), parent company of OKTV, has acquired two full-service film production companies with owned content featured on Netflix, Starz and Hulu.
