Big Industry Show, were an amazing forum to launch WeedTV. We
could not have dreamed of a more enthusiastic embrace and welcoming
audience. Our goals were to introduce WeedTV to the cannabis
community and create awareness of our brand to sponsors; to produce
amazing program content around the cannabis industry and drive
membership to our new channel. We accomplished these goals well
beyond our expectations." Mr. Bradley continued" Through this
