What Is Cool TV?

Young adults in Europe are crazy about Western-style programs, music, clothing styles, films, and broadcast entertainment.

Through exposure to satellite and cable television and the internet, most European youth speak and understand English. They want the kinds of programs that COOLtv offers: English-language music videos, feature films, and shows about extreme sports, poker, travel, and pop culture.

COOLtv was created to bring the best in English language television programs to the young on-the-go tech-savvy youth of today.  COOLtv offers a unique opportunity for advertisers to reach this audience directly and personally.

From Colorado to the Caucasus: COOLtv is a joint US-European venture, launched as a partnership between GlobalCastmedia Inc. of Vail, Colorado and our European partners. COOLtv broadcasts to more than 119 million homes throughout Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. We broadcast from Spain to Russia, and from Oslo to Tripoli.

Our Business Model

COOLtv offers several ways for companies to profit from advertising on COOLtv. We merge standard TV spots with a range of CRM, eCommerce and electronic media strategies. On COOLtv, we offer companies multiple ways to maximize their advertising dollar. You can run traditional ads as well as a host of new media concepts: interactive portals, video blogs, email marketing, event marketing, and direct merchandising.

Young people in Europe are years ahead of American kids when it comes to cell phone based texting, using their phones to immediately purchase what they see on TV. This means you can sell your products directly to your viewers rather than hoping your ad makes enough impressions to influence a buying decision later.
