Pyxix Introduces Three New Broadband Entertainment Channels

Los Angeles, CA (Billboard Publicity Wire) December 21, 2006 -- Pyxix™ Corporation, a diversified global media company, today announced three new entertainment channels: DocuPyx.com™, ComedyPop.com™ and UrbanChillers.com™.



Pyxix Launches Documentary Channel - DocuPyx.com™

In introducing DocuPyx.com, Pyxix CEO Amit Tripathi observed that documentaries are the ultimate reality show, and the Internet the ultimate distribution channel.

"DocuPyx.com improves communication, awareness and understanding among diverse peoples by virtually connecting the artist to the audience," Tripathi said.

The premiere of DocuPyx.com™ Documentary Channel™ showcases winners of the first DocuPyx contest. Over a dozen filmmakers were awarded cash for displaying their work on the new broadband channel.

The Grand Prize was won by the documentary "The Last Stand--Heroes at Ballona Wetlands" by Sheila A. Laffey. The film highlights successful efforts by celebrities and ordinary citizens to save the largest natural wetlands remaining in Southern California. Ed Asner, Martin Sheen and Ed Begley, Jr. are among the activists.

Second Prize was won by the film "Night Visions" by Kathy Huang. The film reflects on life and loss through the eyes of a young soldier returning from service in Iraq.

DocuPyx will benefit both creators and viewers, observed Professor Pat Aufderheide, director of the American University's Center for Social Media, who was recently honored by the International Documentary Association.

"Documentary filmmakers are searching for ways to reach new audiences over the Internet, without losing an ability to recoup their creative investment. This documentary channel will be closely watched by both veteran and emerging filmmakers. It also promises to bring hitherto unavailable films to new viewers," Professor Aufderheide said.

"Pyxix is on the cutting edge of experimentation with new business models for online platforms," she added.

Pyxix Introduces ComedyPop.com

Pyxix is introducing a new broadband comedy channel, ComedyPop.com, and inviting artists from around the world to submit their comedy material. Suggested material spans the whole range of comedy, including satire, stand-up comedy, improvisation, and political humor, among others.
