Today, we took the wraps off the new digital venture from MTWD Entertainment. Contemporary Living Network will be an all digital network designed around today’s mobile lifestyle. This is the project I mentioned recently as part of our reinvention. We’re not only going to greatly expand our original content production, but we’ve created the new network home for it all as well. Here’s the official press release and yes, you’ll be able to follow along as the network builds and launches here on WalterBiscardi.com. This site is dedicated to sharing knowledge with other creatives and I guess launching an entire new digital network qualifies. So strap in, I’m sure there will be bumpy portions to the ride….
