HIGH FINANCE MEETS HIGH DEFINITION: MOJO MONEY NIGHT LAUNCHES IN JANUARY 2008
Wall Street Warriors Returns for Second Season, Joined by New Shows Bobby G: Adventure Capitalist and Start-Up Junkies
NEW YORK, Nov. 5 – MOJO, the high definition channel geared to affluent men, is launching a new programming block Thursday January 24, 2008 revolving around the lives and personal experiences of individuals who inhabit the world of high finance called “MOJO Money Night.” MOJO delves into the daily lives of "money people" with three long-form and personality-driven series about stock traders, venture capitalists and startup entrepreneurs. These shows give a perspective on the world of finance unlike anything currently seen on television. Viewers get to witness the pressures, the intensity, the pace, the big wins, the frustrations and the lavish lifestyles of these driven business men and women. “Last year we found that the world of Wall Street finance struck a chord with the MOJO audience,” said David Asch, Senior Vice President, Programming & New Media for MOJO’s parent company iN DEMAND Networks, “so this year we’re not only going back to Wall Street, but also exploring the equally fascinating worlds of venture capital and entrepreneurship.” Starting in January '08, MOJO presents three series (two new and one returning) on “MOJO Money Night” with each one approaching the financial arena from a different discipline. The shows, which will air every Thursday, are: Wall Street Warriors - Season two. In this new season, MOJO viewers follow six individuals from the high-flying world of finance: a hedge fund manager, floor trader, private equity fund manager, commodities pit trader, a rookie trader and a pair of stock brokers to the super-rich. These six “warriors” fiercely battle to generate as much money as possible while volatile markets rise and fall. (Ten half-hour episodes). Wall Street Warriors was created by Scott J. Gill and Sean Skelton for Radius Productions, Inc. Scott J. Gill and Sean Skelton are Executive Producers.
Bobby G: Adventure Capitalist – New series. A first-hand look at the life of powerful capital management investor Bobby Genovese as he flies around the world buying, selling and turning around money-losing companies, ranging from an underwater mortuary in Florida to a Canadian bottled water corporation. Bobby G: Adventure Capitalist exposes Bobby’s charismatic style, powerful deal-making and extravagant lifestyle. (Eight half-hour episodes)
Bobby G: Adventure Capitalist is produced for MOJO by Nick Davis Productions. Nick Davis is Executive Producer. Start-Up Junkies - New series about "serial entrepreneurs" who thrive on the excitement of working in startup ventures. MOJO gathers a group of passion-motivated "addicts," in a compelling character-driven series that captures the emotional highs and lows of launching an organization from scratch. Start-Up Junkies, filmed over a seven month period, follows the recently established Seattle-based company Earth Class Mail™, a global service that delivers postal mail online, much like an electronic post office box. (Eight half-hour episodes.) Start-Up Junkies is produced by Screaming Flea Productions. Pat Barnes is Executive Producer. Executive Producer for all three MOJO series is Emilio Nunez. Siobhan Graham is Supervising Producer.
