ICOOLYOUOFF

During these uncertain times it was a major decision on my part to contract with TVA & BWN for a Level II Media Package. I have been in the HVAC/R trade for over (15) years. I submitted a story after the unfortunate attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001. My story line contained an inexpensive remedy to all types of indoor quality issues, also know as "Sick Building Syndrome," a 10 Billion dollar a year problem in North America alone. During the production of our show, the team members between our firms shared many ideas pertaining to the story line. The resulting Spotlight has and still is generating many responses due to the superb work and countless hours provided by the BWN news team.

TVA researched all aspects of the HVAC trade and when we are ready to discuss the production of a Level III International show on Icoolyouoff.Com, I would have no reservation to contract with TVA once again.

Since the airings commenced, the daily business activity at Icoolyouoff.Com has increased substantially---along with our website traffic! TVA & BWN far exceeded expectations from our staff and each day I thank God the decision was made to contract with the above mentioned firm. If you would like to discuss my working experience in conjunction with TVA & BWN in greater detail, please don't hesitate to call Icoolyouoff.Com at our worldwide toll free number which is 1-866-896-HVAC [4822]. Craig Lawrence Scher - CEO Icoolyouoff.Com Corporation

Senior Citizens Action Network

SCAN's Spotlight and Level III package was instrumental in getting new national legislation passed. Spotlight aired intensively in Washington D.C. while bill was being considered by Congress. From the Los Angeles Business Journal, Jan. 10-16: ...executives with several other companies also believe they have benefited from their association with the show. One such company is Long Beach-based Senior Care Action Network (SCAN), a non-profit "social HMO" that was the subject of an entire 30-minute episode. The reporters at "Business World News" convinced Congressman Bill Thomas and Senator Jay Rockefeller to do interviews on the segment. SCAN provides full long-term care benefits---such as the services of housekeepers, cooks, and personal assistants-so that people who would otherwise be forced to move into a nursing home can live at home. These benefits are paid for by Medicare, but SCAN had a cap on its enrollment of 36,000. The "Business World News" segment was used as part of a lobbying effort to get the cap raised. Ultimately, Congress did vote to raise the cap. While SCAN spokesman Paul Kenkel can't say for sure that the "Business World News" segment was the cause, he says it certainly helped." (See additional news article in Healthcare PR & Marketing News)

"I think your crews were excellent in working with a complex set of objectives and subject matter. Your professionalism was outstanding." Paul Kenkel, Director of Public Relation

"Now that a few weeks have passed since the Opening Day of our attraction ``Quest for Camelot Nights," I can catch my breath long enough to tell you what a tremendous success it has been. Judging from the thousands of ``oohs" and ``aahs" this show is getting every night, the show is a bonafide hit and we greatly appreciate your fine team's expertise and hard work in ensuring its success.  I realize it took many long and hard hours to provide the specially formatted 70mm 8-perf film. for projection on the World's largest floating Aqua-Screen - 96' x 182'. I'm proud to say this production is the largest outdoor spectacular in Six Flags History and is the only one of its type on the East Coast.
