Small Business Spotlight BIZTV REACHING THE WORLD Arlington has long been a city driven by innovators and forward-thinking leadership. For decades, the City has generated global interest through sports, entertainment, and television and has been home to several radio stations, broadcast and cable ventures. Ten years ago, a new network launched its service rights in the City. BizTV started broadcasting from its downtown Arlington office at 810 E. Abram Street and has expanded its reach to over 50 national TV stations. Two years ago, BizTV began the process of localizing its stations and has since hosted local businesses, non-profits, major brands as well as a plethora of musicians, comics, magicians, mayors, political candidates, authors and restaurateurs. In the DFW-Arlington metroplex, BizTV broadcasts “All in with Bryan Weatherford” and airs twice a day, Monday through Friday. The show is hosted by Bryan Weatherford on KFWD 52.2. The most innovative thing BizTV has done is change the face of tradition- al advertising. Each of their local stations limit the number of advertisers on the channel to only 35. All advertising time is divided among these members delivering a promotional value that is unparalleled and provid- ing afforable broadcast options. Members also have excluive advertising in their specific industry categories. Members can participate in added benefits, meet-ups, networking and events that add value to the mem- bership. BizTV is proud to call Arlington home and pleased to be a longtime member of the community. BizTV is a member of the Centerpost Media family of networks. Sister networks YTA and BizTalkRadio are also based in Arlington. “The City and Mayor have been very supportive and encouraging to the continued growth of Centerpost Media, and you can rest assured that BizTV Texas and its sister networks are promoting our community every chance we get,” stated Bryan Weatherford.
