Somatic Systems, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SMAS) is pleased to announce
that the first airings of the upcoming national television show
featuring the company and its proprietary Clinical Somatics pain
relief system, clinics, products, and training programs will begin
next week. The television program will be the largest exposure for
the company and its services so far, increasing Somatic Systems'
audience from a population of tens of thousands to tens of
millions.
The half-hour television series, "Health Forum," dedicates an
entire segment to showing viewers how Somatic Systems can help them
achieve lasting relief from chronic pain, injury, and
musculoskeletal disorders without surgery or dependence on
medication. The segment begins airing at a time when rising medical
costs and growing economic concerns have increased consumer outcry
and demand for affordable, effective non-invasive solutions to
these kinds of epidemic health complaints.
Features of the segment include Somatic Systems practitioners
working with clients to relieve back and shoulder pain, and
interviews with company CEO Steven Aronstein and with clinical
Somatics practitioners and trainers from Somatic System's
Professional Training Program. The program also features interviews
with clients about how Somatics helped them out of pain to the
point of "changing their lives," and discussions with Professional
Training Program students who were so moved by the impressive
results of Somatics that they chose to make Somatics their
career.
The program on Somatic Systems will air at least 50 times in the
coming months, including nationally on the Women's Entertainment
television network (WE tv) and the Travel Channel, as well as in
syndication locally in other television markets throughout the
country.
The first airings will occur in two different markets. In New
York, the show will air on WRNN-TV at the following times:
-- Tuesday, December 2, 6:30 AM
-- Tuesday, December 9, 6:30 AM
-- Friday, December 12, 6:30 AM
WRNN-TV serves New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut; coverage
also includes Albany and the Hudson River Valley region of upstate
New York. Albany is not only New York's state capital, but it is
also only 2 hours west of Somatic Systems' Northampton,
Massachusetts headquarters, with other areas of the surrounding
Hudson River valley only 1 hour from the headquarters; Connecticut
is only 25 minutes south of Somatic Systems headquarters.
WRNN is one of the largest independent television broadcast
stations in the country, reaching over 5 million households in the
tri-state area. The network is featured on Cablevision, Time-Warner
Cable, RCN, Comcast, and DirectTV. Furthermore, the network's
service of the New York metropolitan tri-state area provides
invaluable exposure to members of a population exceeding 20 million
people, including the largest city in the US and the 5 largest
cities in both New Jersey and Connecticut.
New York city is only two-and-a-half-hours from Somatic Systems
headquarters and training facilities, and is the home of one of
Somatic Systems' offices, with a small satellite clinic located in
New Jersey.
In Washington state, the show will air on KWPX ION at the
following times:
-- Wednesday, December 3, 7:00 AM
-- Wednesday, December 10, 7:00 AM
-- Wednesday, December 17, 7:00 AM
KWPX ION serves Seattle, Washington and the surrounding
Tacoma-Bellevue metropolitan region. With a population of greater
than 4 million, the region is the 15th largest in the United States
and the largest in the Pacific Northwest. The region has been
ranked the most affluent in the state, as well as having the 17th
highest per capita income nationwide. Seattle has also been rated
as the most literate city in the US, and the most educated city as
well.
Somatic Systems has been heavily engaged in efforts to become a
fully approved healthcare provider for the US military, veterans,
and their families. The company has also announced plans to open
clinics nearby military bases to serve these populations, in
addition to its other efforts to rollout clinics nationwide for the
general population as well. To this end, the company stated that
its representatives have already been in talks regarding the
Seattle-Tacoma area's large concentration of military-related
populations, and views the Seattle-Tacoma television coverage as
particularly strategic.
The Health Forum television feature is an important element of
Somatic Systems' overall expansion of its promotional and branding
efforts in support of its ongoing nationwide expansion activities.
The company is preparing to launch a major redesign of its website
to capitalize on the increased exposure and traffic expected from
the television shows. Somatic Systems is also working with
consultants and public relations firms on other components of its
larger expansion strategy, including new consumer products to meet
the increased demand, large-scale affiliate and franchise programs,
co-marketing, leveraging strategic relationships, new web-based
services, and additional media coverage.
Airing of the television program will continue throughout the
coming year, and the company will announce show times as they are
scheduled. Those airing schedules will also be posted on the
company's website, at www.somatics.org/healthforum/schedule, and
interested parties can sign up on that same page to be notified of
the airing schedules by email as soon as they are announced.
In addition to the 50 guaranteed airings, networks may pickup
the television segment on Somatic Systems for additional
broadcasts. The company also stated it will make portions of the
television program available on their web site,
www.somatics.org.
