Since its inception, ME Television has filmed over 175 live music concerts for ME Live!, taped over one thousand interviews with top musicians, artists, actors and filmmakers and hosted over 300 in-studio performances.

The Texas expansion will include working with small to large cable operators to add the network to their lineup with a host of benefits that include: dedicated sales time, local sponsorship and concert ticket opportunities, marketing support, website inclusion, and VOD content.
