VET Tv to launch Online TV network using humor to help veterans heal
SAN DIEGO, CA-- VET Tv is preparing to launch an exciting new online streaming television network dedicated to post 9/11 veterans. The network will use dark humor to examine the post 9/11 experience that veterans endure. VET Tv is dedicated to programs and events that bring veterans together, using humor to help heal the mental wounds of war that often leave vets depressed and contemplating suicide.
"Veterans use different ways to cope. In the face of tragedy, a veteran is more likely to use humor and camaraderie as a coping mechanism than anything else. That's why with our new shows, we're giving them a chance to laugh about their experiences. It will be raw, gritty, offensive, and controversial, but it's a sort of dark humor only a veteran and their family members will appreciate," says Donny O'Malley, a veteran, and President & Founder of VET Tv.
Several shows are set to launch in the summer of 2017 with one episode streaming every week. VET Tv shows will include sketch comedy, sitcoms, reality shows, and serial dramas that recreate the unique perspective and experiences of post 9/11 veterans. VET Tv is foregoing investor funding "to keep the purity of our content," according to O'Malley. VET Tv is using crowdfunding to fund the creation of the network and the first season of at least two shows. The crowdfunding campaign launches on Kickstarter October 11, 2016 to help provide this much-needed program to veterans and their families. The goal is to raise $250,000 dollars.
"We're excited to create a network full of shows about military life that accurately depict the good, the bad, the ugly, and with our sense of humor. There's nothing else like this out there," says O'Malley.
