10 New Writers To Contribute To The First and Only Consumer Website and Newsletter Dedicated to the Nearly 50 Million Home VOD Market

On Demand Weekly announced the launch of a free email newsletter to send the most topical Video On Demand news and editorial to subscribers on a daily basis. The email newsletter will officially begin on September 15. Readers can subscribe at www.ondemandweekly.com

On Demand Weekly will inform readers about the best of VOD with an entertaining and informative voice in the vein of other niche email newsletters such as the Comcast-owned Daily Candy. The independently owned and operated On Demand Weekly will follow the below daily editorial schedule:

• Monday: Top 10 Movies On Demand and Music On Demand Lists;
• Tuesday: The Week’s New Movie and New Music Video On Demand Releases;
• Wednesday: Exclusive New Independent Movie On Demand Reviews;
• Thursday: VOD Hidden Gems (Exclusive to Email Newsletter Subscribers);
• Friday: Premium Picks - The Best VOD Programming from Premium Networks (HBO, SHO, Starz, etc.)

"A publication like On Demand Weekly is going to do a great service to the VOD industry," said Mark Cuban, Chairman and Co-Founder of HDNet. "It will be very beneficial to have a source in which readers can get the latest in VOD offerings, including information on our monthly Sneak Preview movies that are available on VOD before they are in theatres."

Writer/Director/Actor Ed Burns exclaimed On Demand Weekly is a "very cool site you should check out if you find yourself watching more and more movies on demand than in theaters," via Twitter @edward_burns.

"Nothing could be more welcome than a go to source to what's on demand for consumers.  Every day there are more choices and On Demand Weekly's email newsletter is just what consumers need," commented Ryan Werner, SVP Marketing & Publicity, IFC Films.

Movies On Demand On Cable Facebook App Allows Movie Fans to Share Opinions And Win Prizes

Movies on Demand® On Cable has created “List It!” – a new application at facebook.com/moviesondemand. Movie fans can answer questions like, “What are your Top 5 Johnny Depp movies, romantic comedies and children’s fanasy?” The app allows you to share movie opinions with friends, compare with critics and also get a chance to win prizes.

Users are encouraged to create Top 5 lists inspired by a different Movies On Demand (MOD) new release each week. Each new list entry is automatically entered into a sweepstakes for a chance to win daily prizes ($5 in Cable Cash good toward an MOD rental) and the grand prize of a 46” 3DTV. The app includes lists from critics such as Leonard Maltin, Matt Singer, Terra King and the On Demand Weekly (T. Tara Turk, Chris Claro, Cynthia Kane, etc.) team.

"On Demand Weekly is dedicated to reviewing and promoting the best movies on demand. 'List It!' is a great way for movie fans to engage with our critics on facebook,” Britt Bensen, Editor-in-Chief, On Demand Weekly.

“List It!” is a complement to the year-long 2011 MOD marketing campaign supported by the top U.S. cable companies and ten major movie studios. The MOD campaign features hit movie titles, many of which are available on MOD the same day as on DVD, reminding consumers that MOD is the simplest and best way to rent movies.

The MOD Facebook page and the new "List It!" app as well as the www.rentmoviesondemand.com website is created and managed by iN DEMAND, the nation's leading distributor of Movies On Demand to cable. The site is the central source for listings, reviews, orderings info and a personalized "WatchList." iN DEMAND also populates @moviesondemand on Twitter

Each week, On Demand Weekly will List our Top 5 fiilms based on a theme of a top new movie on demand. You can compare your own and share with friends on facebook.
