Millennium Media Entertainment President, John Sheehan, says the company will be offering Local News Consulting Services for US Television Stations in 2014, which will increase Stations’ News Ratings and revenues.

“Adding content to attract Minority Viewers is not a new idea and this is a no brainer, because there is no language barrier. Plus, they have the second highest household income of any group in the US.

Filipino Americans are the second largest Asian group in the US and already speak English,” Sheehan says.

“This would a great concept too, for Digital or Subchannels,” he said. “You can get 24 hour programing from the Philippines Networks, but they still run ads and station promos in English.”

“Add some human interest stories about the Philippines and they will watch local stations. Here’s the deal, whomever does any of this will gain their loyalty,” Sheehan says.

Filipinos are brand loyal, culturally,” he said
Sheehan says there are Four Million, English Speaking, American Filipinos living in the US, according to the State Department’s 2011 estimates.

“Imagine if only five percent of Filipino Americans watched your Network or Station’s News. That’s potentially 200,000 Viewers. There are 660,000 Filipino Americans in the LA DMA. A LA Station might attract over 6,000 new viewers by recruiting only one percent of them,” he said.

He said that it was recently reported that at 6:00 AM, KABC averages 195,000 viewers, KTLA is second at 160,000, with Fox 11 News at 76,000.

“I have to think any of these guys would welcome 6,000 additional viewers from the English Speaking, Filipino American population. What if one of these Morning Shows picked up five percent? That’s 30,000 more viewers,” Sheehan said.

“What MME brings to the party is that we have a foot in both worlds.
I have been in Local TV News for over 30 years as a News Consultant and know this would work.

I live in Philippines and see fun, interesting content all time, which would appeal to the general audience, as well recruit Filipino Americans,” Sheehan says.

“This is a Win-Win for all involved. FIL-AMs get news from home, potential American Tourists and Investors learn more about The Philippines and Stations increase their News Shares,” he said.

Sheehan said Millennium Media Entertainment will provide clients:

Weekly News Alerts about The Philippines, of interest to Filipino Americans, which would also interest the general audience.
Insights to the Filipino American Audience
Major Stories will be monitored daily for Clients.
Relevant stories will be followed and updated.
MME will make itself available for daily email and reasonable telephone News Story Content Consultation.
One Month Trial for $500, per Station. More for an exclusive.

“FIL-AMs are not like other groups. Filipinos have been immigrating to the US since the early 20^th Century, when the Philippines was an American Territory. They understand the American culture since they have been part of it for generations,’ he said.

“They would love to see material about the Philippines. Adding stories about The Philippines will impress them and they’ll watch your Station,” Sheehan says.

Sheehan says that there’s a wealth of interesting stories in The Philippines, which would attract Filipino Americans and the general audience, too. “We have put a presentation together on our blog with story ideas, which work on anyone,” he said.

Sheehan said that Filipino Americans nationally have an average household income of $75,000, half earned a Bachelor’s Degree or better and 90% have High School Diplomas.

He says many FIL-AMs come here speaking English and with undergrad or post graduate degrees.
