Description:
GIMP TV’s Web Property is an “interest-based” new media network specifically created for people to encounter the “lean forward” experience. GIMP TV fosters community surrounding similar interests, rather then friend groups or cliques. Our “lean forward” experience is the interaction of people with media including: Articles, Forums, Commenting, Announcements, Events, Games, Blogs, Magazines, and Interactive Advertising throughout the entire website. The website’s structure facilitates community at three distinct levels: Channels, Programs, and Episodes. Channels currently offered are Motorsports, Entertainment, Teens, Lifestyle, Technology, Children, Business, and Sports. These Channel categories boast 18 High Definition Programs with over 200, Episodes drawing more than 2,000,000 people per cumulative episode. GIMP TV’s content is known as the new media standard for High Definition interactive entertainment according to industry leaders, such as Apple and Adobe.
GIMP TV is available to view online or offline in over a dozen standard formats, and is currently available on a wide variety of devices ranging from mobile phones to High Definition Televisions. This distribution is made possible by GIMP Content Management System’s dynamic technologies found in the on-the-fly encoding/ transcoding systems which is built directly into the website allowing for syndication of each format. GIMP TV prides itself with a strong partnership distribution model. The company's media is displayed through venues such as the Apple iTunes store, Microsoft's Zune Marketplace, Google's YouTube, News Corporation's MySpace, and Facebook. Other venues include many cell phone carriers, such as Helio, and cell phone hardware developers. It is a sure bet that whenever, however people want your content, it will be seen.
Global Independent Media Productions was founded in August 2005 with an 8400sq/ft primary studio in the heartland of southern California. GIMP brings choice to people through interactive communities and programming that is accessible wherever, whenever, however you want it.
