NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / October 20, 2021 / Madison Technologies, Inc., (OTCQB:MDEX) today announced a binding deal to acquire the production company 'The Jay & Tony Show.' The acquisition marks Madison's initial foray into television production as it greenlights plans to offer unique content for its OTA broadcast platform, GO.TV.
GO.TV currently broadcasts multiple streams of content for stations across the country as an independent distribution platform, serving as an alternative to existing cable, OTT and internet platforms. With owned stations in markets including Seattle, LA, Houston, San Diego, and signed deals to acquire stations in Chicago, Phoenix, New York, Miami, Tampa, Atlanta, Nashville, Indianapolis, Minneapolis and Kansas City, GO.TV plans to air original content in early 2022.

The acquisition comes as Madison continues to build out its TV station base with the goal of ultimately expanding to 100 TV stations nationwide.
While 'The Jay & Tony Show' will continue its core business of creating and producing innovative and disruptive programming for third-party networks and platforms, it will also bring a creative team to Madison to complement GO.TV's OTA distribution - creating and aggregating unique content for distribution nationwide with the ability to reach all viewers.
