"We've developed a platform where people can join the national conversation. A place where they can be inspired, laugh together, or just sit back and enjoy entertainment with a similar outlook and perspective," said Kevin McFeeley, President and Chief Operating Officer, RIGHTNETWORK.

RIGHTNETWORK was developed for those 50 million Americans underserved when it comes to media entertainment choices reflecting their political alignments. The network is serving up original and acquired comedies, dramas, reality shows, news magazines, animated shorts and more.

RIGHTNETWORK has an increasing Video On Demand and Internet distribution with cable operators and online content providers, including 10 hours of free VOD programming on Verizon FiOS, together with offerings on Blue Ridge, Sky Angel, Roku, Sezmi and Amazon.com. The network will also provide content with Nokia through their Ovi mobile store.

PROGRAMMING

Sample programming at launch includes, among others:  

• Running: Follow first-time candidates as they run for public office. A reality series told primarily in the first-person, RUNNING is not just political, it's personal; a fly-on-the-wall expose of what real-life is like for these professionals and family members running for public office. Whether running for the Senate or a seat in the House of Representatives, their stories begin with the enthusiasm of someone determined to make a difference. It all leads right up to the day voters decide on November 2, 2010. 
• Moving Numbers: This sitcom takes you behind the scenes of the often dysfunctional and always entertaining Sanders campaign. Campaign Manager Jason Mahoney (Peter McCain) and his quirky cadre of consultants try to defy the odds on a quest to help Robert Sanders (John Colton) and his wife Beth (Monique Parent) win an election to the U.S. Senate.
• Right to Laugh: Join comedian Evan Sayet and some of the most popular stand up comics around for an evening of big laughs and good old-fashioned fun. Each episode features three or four comedians on stage to deliver biting political satire, pop culture skewering and a message we can all get behind, more laughter in our lives.
