InnerCityMedicine Networks TV
Welcome!
ICMN-TV is requesting your charter advertising-sponsorship
partnership for 2013 - 2015 across the first nationwide Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) Public Health IPTV Network.
ICMN-TV leverages traditional and digital, open-source
media platforms to deliver targeted news and edutainment-based preventative and disease
management content to socioeconomic and ethnic-diverse consumers and their practitioners. We provide
corporate socially-responsible brand marketers and their
agencies an innovative narrowcast vehicle to effectively
promote their wellness products and programs with
cultural acuity.
ICMN-TV's core mission parallels the U.S. healthcare and
broadband agenda outlined in the Affordable Care Act. ICMN-TV will “brand” its IPTV networks for local and
regional “channel partners” such as federally-qualified
health centers (FQHCs), charitable & free clinics,
community medical schools, ethnic-racial medical
societies, and critical access hospitals (CAH). ICMN-TV will
capitalize on the critical needs of these safety-net
providers to educate their patients on improving health
behaviors and becoming better informed & educated
health consumers.
PQ Media (www.pqmedia.com) was the first market
research firm to define the overall DOOH media industry.
PQ Media categorizes ICMN-TV as an in-
office/entertainment video advertising network (VAN). In-
office/entertainment VANs have been among the fastest
growing and most-measurable DOOH segments, as
consumer-patients and caregivers are often stationary when
viewing the content (e.g., sitting in the waiting-room), resulting in longer dwell time and higher content and
advertising engagement.
The next several pages detail our IPTV Network business case
including a brief overview of our patient and health care
provider (HCP) demographics, model electronic programming guide, and rate card formula whereby we give
you an “example” of our annual costs.
Again, with your charter support today, ICMN-TV will have a
unique window of opportunity to transform U.S. minority
health care disparities and inequalities, as well as overall U.S.
domestic spending on health care in qualitative and
quantitative terms.
A member of our media sales team will follow up with you
within a few business days to discuss your brand-specific
and/or corporate (wellness) strategies for 2013-2015.
Thank you for your initial desire to launch with ICMN-TV.

OverviewThe success or failure of any government in the final analysis must be measured by the well-being of its citizens. Nothing can
be more important to a state than its public health; the state’s paramount concern should be the health of its people—

What We KnowPoor communication or “low health literacy” with health care providers results in a host of problems including less access to
preventative care and higher rates of re-hospitalization. Asian-, African-, and Hispanic- Americans all reported having poor
communications with their doctor more often than Whites. Narrowcasting “What Questions to Ask Your Health Provider”
would improve patient-doctor communications, reduce re-hospitalization and improve national health outcomes.

What We DoICMN-TV leverages Health 2.0 and Internet 2.0 platforms to deliver news and edutainment-based health content to
socioeconomic and ethnic-diverse communities faced with the disproportionate burden of health care disparities and
health care inequalities.
Why We ExistICMN-TV recognizes that despite an increasing 900+ HDTV multichannel universe (Google®, Facebook®, Twitter®,
Android®, iPhone®, etc.), there are limited to no dedicated direct-to-consumer (DTC) public health TV channel(s) or
networks; limited to no radio outlets; and insufficient targeted print media speaking to 100-million health at-risk Americans.
In the same analysis, there are limited to no traditional and digital platforms helping America’s nearly one million safety-
net providers assimilate to the new clinical, regulatory, and health information technology landscapes.
Who We TargetOur IPTV health media network “channel partners” and stakeholders span community & minority medical schools,
multicultural medical societies, federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), charitable & free clinics, government health
agencies, and nonprofit patient advocacy groups historically committed to providing critical public health and clinical
health services to a growing 100-plus million underserved, underinsured, uninsured, and ethnic consumer-patient.
Who We Sell ToOur IPTV media network “customers” (e.g., brand advertisers & sponsors) span the biopharmaceutical, medical device,
health payor, fast-mover consumer package good (FMCG), healthy-focused fast-casual & quick service retail (QSR),
nutraceutical & cosmeceutical, sport-fitness & recreation, and consumer media technology sectors, among many others.

What We Also KnowChronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer are the leading cause of disability and death in the U.S.,
causing major limitations in daily living for about 25 million people, and 70% of all deaths, or 1.7 million per year. Although
chronic diseases are among the most common and costly problems, they are also among the most preventable. Narrow-
casting consumer-friendly tips and solutions towards adoption of healthy behaviors such as eating nutritious foods, being
physically active, and avoiding tobacco use can prevent or control the devastating effects of these diseases.

Multicultural DTC EffectivenessA 2002 and follow up 2007 study conducted by the National Medical Association found that direct to consumer (DTC) ad-
vertising was beneficial to underserved and minority communities. Real ethnic patients and physician testimonials that ap-
pear frequently across “minority owned & operated” media outlets genuinely stimulated patient-health provider conversa-
tion. As a result, patients filled prescriptions earlier, were more compliant-adherent to physician’s therapeutic regimens,
and experienced overall improved health outcomes.
Brand Advertiser ROI OutlookA March 2010 Nielsen Company study noted that the increasing percentage of the United States (U.S.) ethnic minorities
presents a tremendous opportunity to marketers and retailers of discount Rx, OTC, and CPG brands. Recent Census data
shows that 48% of all newborns in the U.S. are now non-white (African American, Hispanic, and Asian). This represents a
prescription and wellness-services market targeting multicultural parents and families of these infants, toddlers, and ad-
olescents. In the same analysis, this represents a tremendous opportunity to capture the brand-efficacy and wellness ser-
vices loyalty of prescribing pediatricians and family medicine providers of these growing families. Nielsen notes the eco-
nomic opportunity for brands in the multicultural CPG space is projected to grow from $270B to over $500B.
The New Rx and Wellness-Services MarketBarriers to health care reach beyond the insurance card; in many cases, traditional office-based physicians limit the
number of patients they will see or choose not to practice in areas with few health care resources. Research shows that
ICMN-TV “channel partners” have a higher rate of accepting new patients, particularly publicly insured and uninsured
patients. The acceptance rate for new Medicaid patients is 31 percentage points higher in health centers (97% vs. 66%),
and acceptance rate for new Medicare patients is 20 percentage points higher in health centers, compared to
traditional primary care providers (96% vs. 76%).
In order to remain brand competitive to prescribing HCPs practicing in expanding medically underserved, underinsured,
uninsured, and ethnic-diverse communities, product managers and their agencies of record (AORs) must look “initially” to
target their brands and wellness services to these socioeconomic and ethnic-diverse communities. These communities are
the New America.

Health IPTV Content StrategyICMN-TV will produce content categorized into primary care, specialty care, and video-on-demand (VOD) networks.
Primary care programming narrowcast to family medicine, general internal medicine, pediatrics, and Ob-Gyn type clinics
and feature the broadest preventative and chronic disease self-management topics. Specialty care channels display in
cardiology, rheumatology, neurology, and oncology-type practices with daily content divided 50% specialty content and
50% primary-care. Our VOD channels target critical access hospitals (CAH) patients aimed at pre-post procedure
education, care transition, and reducing 30-day readmission rates. Our professional VOD networks target HCP staff lounges
and private offices with Affordable Care Act policy news and content such as comparative effectiveness, evidence-based
medicine, health I.T. and CME/CE content.
Our network programming rationale is a composite of positive balance of healthy-lifestyle promotion; proactive chronic
disease management; enhancement of health literacy, patient-doctor dialogue, therapeutic compliance-adherence,
clinical trials education and recruitment, medical practice branding, and HCP-targeted health policy news and education.
ICMN-TV will produce seven (7) to (10) dynamic :20 min loops played daily across our primary care, specialty, and VOD
nets. Content will be refreshed monthly.
