Thepuppychannel.com Has A Lot More Bite
Parent CHANNEMALS LLC Adds Social Community, New Partner, Technology, "Best-Of-Breed" Videos
Clearwater, FL—Aug. 5, 2009—CHANNEMALS LLC (CHN), parent to thepuppychannel.com, has deployed first-round funding to add new talent and technology, and to design a far more technically robust site including a "localize-able" social community of pet-lovers and new video sources.
Using investment received in four successive quarters, an expanded strategic plan for CHN's pet-centric, multi-platform media networks was prepared with new partner Scott Carmichael—an industry leader and one of the architects of successful businesses such as JibJab.com, ElfYourself/StarringYou, and Getback.com. Carmichael also has developed web presences and applications for major media conglomerates AOL, The New York Times and Cablevision.
In step with the "Dog Days of August," The Puppy Channel®, CHN's flagship network, now offers three kinds of video.

Puppy OverloadNovember 20, 2008
If you're like me, you're hopelessly addicted to following the day-to-day adventures of the puppy cam. You'd think they were my own canines by the way I track their every move. Well here's another doggie obsession to take over your life: The Puppy Channel. Serious cuteness with a side of slobber. I dare you to look and not go, "awwww!"From Twitter
Have you seen the puppy channel?! It's too cute http://www.thepuppychannel.... makes me want to get another puppy...hmmm...08:42 AM November 21, 2008 from web

Puppy Channel tops our list of web sites to peruse New on the 'net: Pooch parade: If watching a single Puppy Cam isn't enough for you, check out the newly relaunched Puppy Channel, at www.thepuppychannel.com. The site offers professionally edited videos that are "a lot more fun, a lot more varied and more interesting� than a single static camera, says Dan FitzSimons, the Cleveland advertising and marketing guy who first dreamed up the channel, for television, more than a decade ago. Its social networking and other features include an invitation for users to nominate the next White House puppy. Politics have their season and financial markets go up and down, FitzSimons said, but �America�s love for puppies is constant.�

All Puppies, All The TimeNovember 21st, 2008 by Jeanmarie Evelly
. . . I came across the story of a man who . . . decided it would be great if there was a channel . . . that was pleasant, soothing and void of all the noise that characterizes most television. Dan FitzSimons� idea? The Puppy Channel . . .
At first glance, FitzSimons� idea made me laugh out loud, especially the Puppy Channel jingles, composed by FitzSimons himself. These songs include: �Puppies, Puppies, Puppies�� �I Love the Little Puppies,� and �Puppies Are Everywhere.� . . .
But it looks like FitzSimons may have been on to something. A blog post on The Guardian describes a live puppy cam that�s getting tons of hits as the newest internet sensation . . . I was skeptical at first. But, seriously, it�s kind of the cutest thing ever. I guess FitzSimons was right: people just downright love puppies.
Web TV Interview
Also, we have a VIDEO of the CHANNEMALSSM founder talking about long-term plans for The Puppy Channel®.
Warning: It's 8 minutes long. And he sings the �Puppies, Puppies, Puppies� jingle in the first few minutes. (You might want to fast-forward through that.)
Among other things, he talks about The Puppy Channel on TV, which could really happen --- after you've made us a big hit on the Internet!
