The Veterans
Channel gives a voice to service men and women, past and present
Free global
service formally launches after two years of development
Toronto, Canada and Atlanta, USA, November 12,
2019 – Veterans Media Corporation Inc. (www.theveteranschannel.com), the first and only global media platform for
veterans and first responders, has relaunched The Veterans Channel – an
on-demand and free video-streaming service where veterans and first responders
can educate and uplift one other.
The Veterans Channel is a network where
veterans and first responders from around the world and from all branches of
service can share their experiences and their challenges in a way that is true,
honest, and authentic.
Veterans Media Corporation (VMC)
soft-launched The Veterans Channel in January 2018 with original programming
that quickly attracted hundreds of thousands of viewers in 42+ countries.
Original series to date include:
- Transitioned: This series documents the paths forged
by service men and women as they transition back to civilian life and find
purpose beyond their military duty. Show host Marc Wicks is a former Royal Marine Commando and a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the
British Empire (MBE). - Riding with Heroes: Host Paul “Trapper” Cane combines his
passions for motorcycling and modern military history to travel North America
and interview veterans about unheard stories of heroism. He is a former
infantryman and paratrooper with the Canadian Armed Forces and a Knight in The
Order of St. George. - 16:20: Men and women who fought
battles across the world share how modern alternative methods of healing have
helped them to fight their personal battles with pain and trauma. - Veteran Retreats: This series also follows
veterans on their journeys to healing, through retreats that help them to
reconnect with themselves and find a path forward through discovery, adventure
and fellowship.
A unique forum, founded from personal
experience
“What makes The Veterans Channel unique is that it is
veterans telling their stories, not the public or the mainstream media,” said Henah
Hannah, Founder and Chair of VMC. “The result is authentic content that
enables veterans to support and inspire each other and show the rest of the
world how much of an asset they can be in their civilian lives to a community
or an employer.”
Hannah founded VMC in response to her experiences with a loved one
– a veteran who struggles with PTSD. She greatly values the support they found
through the veteran community.
“A common thread links these men and women
and their families around the world – regardless of which uniform they wear or
once wore,” she said. “They collectively suffer emotional, physical, mental,
and spiritual wounds, but they also collectively lend a hand to help one
another. VMC exists to support that.”
Pending launch of The Veterans Lifestyle
App
In early 2020, VMC will complement The
Veterans Channel with the Veterans Lifestyle App, powered by BeMotion.
Veterans Lifestyle App will provide
veterans and first responders with:
- A
mobile link to The Veterans Channel programming - Discounts
and privileges on a variety of products and services that are relevant to veterans
and first responders - A
marketplace to find customers and self-promote, for veterans and first
responders who have started their own businesses - Feature
articles and event updates - Access
to career opportunities
The Veterans Channel and forthcoming The Veterans Lifestyle App are funded by
sponsors and advertisers so that their programming and services can be offered
to veterans and first responders, their families, and interested members of the
public at no charge.
