Bonko TV, the Next Generation of Digital Television is Here

Ronkonkoma, NY, January 21, 2016 --(PR.com)-- At last, there’s an alternative for educated consumers in search of original programming. Bonko TV, a leader in the next generation of streaming television.

Bonko TV is an intelligent content service that puts a new spin on traditional programming offered through mainstream media sources.

The new digital platform will be available to subscribers on February 1st, and is accessible via all broadband connected devices, including (but not limited to) Google TV, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Android based phones, tablets, TV’s, gaming consoles, laptops and personal computers (Bonko TV is in development to expand its reach to Apple TV and all iOS devices in 2016).

According to Harry Oates, CEO/President of Bonko TV, “Bonko is a revolutionary concept using the latest in streaming, OTT technology to provide our users with the best possible customized viewing experience. Because it offers proprietary content that is designed specifically to meet the expressed needs of its subscribers, Bonko TV is a welcome add-on to the programming already being offered by Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, and other media platforms.”

Among the shows that subscribers can choose from are The Vic DiBitetto Show, which features esteemed comedian and YouTube sensation Vic DiBitetto (his “Bread and Milk” video garnered over 14 million views) and a lineup of intriguing guests with dynamic personalities. Vic was featured in Kevin James’ movie Mall Cop: Blart 2, which premiered in April 2015, and recently signed a TV development deal with Lionsgate, a leader in worldwide media. He also appeared on television's America's Funniest People (ABC) where he was a $10,000 Grand Prize winner as well as Stand-Up Spotlight (VH1) and Last Laugh at Pips and acted in a pilot with Woody Allen and Danny Aiello.

Often called a “killer” by his fellow comics and the “Godfather of Comedy” by his fans, Vic will be headlining The Three Tenors (Who Can’t Sing), a 22 city national tour that starts on January 22nd in Boston and runs across the country, ending April 8th in Phoenix.

Another rising star in the Bonko constellation is retired firefighter Ray Cooney, the host of Firehouse Kitchen, an innovative cooking show that combines great recipes with America’s Bravest (and is now one of the most-watched shows on WNYC TV). Firehouse Kitchen’s new partnership with Bonko TV will provide viewers with even more exciting cooking entertainment and a higher distribution through its food network channel. Firehouse Kitchen is also joining Bonko to create a comprehensive cooking and food product line.

For the health-conscious viewer, charismatic and well-spoken celebrity dentist Dr. Gerry Curatola, DDS hosts The Dr. Gerry Show, a groundbreaking new talk show that highlights the link between Oral and Systemic health. “The mouth is both a mirror and the gateway to our health,” says Dr. Curatola, who is the first ever dentist to host a TV show in the USA. Many studies show that poor dental health is linked to more than just bad teeth and gums. When gingivitis and periodontal disease goes untreated, it can lead to chronic illnesses such as heart and thyroid disease, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, cancer and many autoimmune disorders. As the American healthcare system grows progressively stressed, patient-centered care is becoming increasingly difficult. As a result, people are looking for supplemental information to support the conventional health care model.

Offering expert interviews, patient stories, cutting edge science and the latest health technologies, the show is designed to empower the public with the latest and most accurate information about how to live a healthier life. The Dr. Gerry Show will focus on the whole person meaning, body, mind, spirit, and community, offering complimentary integrative, functional therapies with traditional medical treatments.

“Bonko aims to provide valuable and compelling content that attracts a more expansive viewer demographic currently overlooked by existing platforms,” said Mr. Oates. “From talk shows to reality shows, Bonko TV has something that will entice the hard-working baby boomer while engaging the multi-tasking millennial.”

Simply put, what sets Bonko TV apart is that all of its original content is created and produced by an executive team with over 25 years of writing, producing and directing experience.
