History

Cannella Media was founded by Frank Cannella in 1985. He received Bravo! Entrepreneur Award in 2006 for his contributions to the media industry.[3]

In 2005, Cannella acquired a Los Angeles-based firm which specializes in buying airtime.[2]

In June 2009, Cannella received an investmenet from private equity firms ZM Capital and Palladium Equity Partners.[4][5]

Operations

Cannella Media is buyer of television airtime for direct-to-consumer marketing, or telemarketing. It coordinates the buying of airtime for clients, and has even created their own OTA television "networks" that serve as another outlet for sales. The "networks" exist on digital sub-channels, especially with Innovate Corp. stations (HC2 and DTV Americas). Media Properties already had the REVShare network of sub-channels, and has since created Timeless TV and Magnificent Movies Network.[10] They also own Carz & Trax. [11]

Timeless TV broadcasts classic TV programming, as well as infomercials on a network of low-power television stations' sub-channels.[12] Magnificent Movies Network broadcasts old or classic movies in addition to the infomercials.[13] Carz & Trax broadcasts mostly car-related programming. [14]
