Dedicated to all the passions of night life. Clubs, bars, lounges, restaurants, and any and all hip and trendy venues. Insightful interviews, city reviews, music, movies, style, advice, features on drinks and beverages, as well as DJ and industry issues and much more. Nightlyfe TV will be a national HD channel,  with programming appealing to a wide variety of tastes. Dance/Electronic Music (in all its forms) will take a prominent stage in this channel, giving coverage to a widely popular but severely underserved genre nationally. We are looking to launch late fall 2012 and will initially debut with several original shows, along with musical videos, live events and some syndicated content. Then over the course of the year, roll out the rest of our anticipated lineup of shows and programs. The emphasis here will be on delivering content to an already eager audience of night life aficionado's as well as finally providing a TV network that does justice to the totality of the night life experience in a stylish and sophisticated manner. That's Nightlyfe TV, your guide to the other 9-5.

Nightlyfe TV started as a magazine over 4 years ago and quickly built a strong following for a stylish publication in an area severely under-covered by media. In 2009, we decided to make the bold move from a print publication to full fledged television network. At first the goal was to make it only an online TV channel but then we thought...why not a cable channel?

We spent the better part of a 2 years working on this transition motivated by our belief that such a niche channel will have more than a receptive audience. We launched the website, relocated to New York and have begun the process of developing our shows and concepts. Now we are ready to start producing promo episodes of several shows to officially kick off the online channel which will help us grow our audience as well as to entice the advertisers and cable carries to consider Nightlyfe TV.

WHY YOU SHOULD CARE

Well, if you love night life, dance/electronic music and having a channel that speaks to your passions, then you would love to see this channel get launched. Heck, if there is an entire channel about Retired living, Green lifestyle, Models, extreme sports, and handy work, then surely there is a place for night life. Most of us old enough to get a drink, actually spend a considerable amount of time and effort in our night life activities. So naturally, a channel that puts a focus on all these activities. trends and attractions would serve as a welcomed gateway to this world. Apart from the good feeling of being part of the process, there are a bunch of perks that come with investing in this project. But most of all, it will be part of creating something that you actually partake in.  If you care about night life then you care about Night life TV. 

WHAT WE NEED & HOW IT HELPS

While our needs are many, we decided to limit our initial campaign goal here to a workable number and a specific set of goals. We are now moving into our NYC office and hiring key staff. Nightlyfe TV has been completely self financed to date and we want to continue building this channel from the ground up. We are now ready to commence the first phase, which is to create the promotional episodes for various shows that will be showcased online, to advertisers & networks and provide the most critical step in getting the channel on cable.

The money raised here will exclusively go towards the production of  10-15 minute promo videos for each of the following shows: Cityscape, DJ Tech, Essentials, Happy Hour, In Focus, Live @ The Club, Music Nation, Profiles, Sessions, The Bar, The News, Venues, Voyeur The Underground and our WMC 2012 Special. Funds will be specifically used to acquire additional lighting and camera equipment and green screen equipment, studio costs, talent and freelance expenses, hair and makeup, music licensing, as well as marketing and post production costs. 

Most of what we want to do can be achieved on a fairly tight budget with the only major components being the studio space and set rental for Music Nation, Essentials and Happy Hour ( each projected at about $4-$5,000 apiece). Cityscape will be shot on the fly, DJ Tech & Sessions filmed at a club DJ Booth, Profiles, in a Hotel Room, Live @ The Club and The Underground and Venues filmed on location, The bar filmed at a bar, and The News in shot in front of a green-screen.  

At the very least your contribution will help launch Nightlyfe TV as an online broadcast network and at the very best a full-fledged cable television network.

HOW ELSE YOU CAN HELP

Sometimes Nightlyfe TV gives the impression that it is some big enterprise by the very nature of its carefully crafted image. In one way we are happy to be perceived as such, but the real story is that the entire operation is run by a small staff of dedicated folks along with many others working for free, and a good network of barter and partner relationships. 

The secret to the success of this campaign is by getting the word out to as many people as you know. Be it twitter, facebook, Google+, emails, page referrals, and or simply telling someone else about Nightlyfe TV or this campaign. That's how we have made it this far and how we hope to continue to see grow. We are counting on you to spread the word!
