WARNING: SHAMLESS SELF PROMOTION! Hollywood's VARIETY MAGAZINE features A3 (ALTERNATIVE TV) Check out A3 now at www.a3tv.tv Posted: Sun., Apr. 18, 2004, 10:44pm PT Finding ideas that float Entrepreneurs mine niches of Miami's diverse entertainment sector By VARIETY STAFF A3: ALTERNATIVE TV When friends and fellow nightlife mavens Justin Altshuler (known as Buster when DJ'ing) and David Mardini decided to launch a dance music video channel, they had only $1,000 between them to invest. But they parlayed that sum into leased time on a Charter Cable slot that previously had aired advertorials, and pre-sold the channel by calling in favors and relying on the goodwill of friends and acquaintances. "We were lucky so many people believed in us," Altshuler says. Alternative TV, branded as A3, bowed in September 2002 in just 100,000 homes and hotel rooms in Miami Beach, targeting nightcrawlers with an airtime from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. Within a month, it was making money, claims Altshuler. He declined to disclose revenue, but says, "Everything is going back into the business." Less than two years out, A3 has added carriage on Comcast, and now reaches some 1 million households and hotel rooms stretching from neighboring Broward County on down to the Keys. (On the mainland, the party starts earlier at 10 p.m.) A3 airs dance and electronica musicvideos, culled from submissions and solicited from labels in Europe, where the genre and the DJs who drive it are far more mainstream. "We're showing videos never seen before in the U.S.," says Altshuler. Stateside, outside the club scene, "the biggest exposure people get to this music is via commercials," he notes, referring to Dodge, Mitsubishi and Motorola ads that use the music to target youthful consumers. Altshuler and Mardini, with production director Luciano Alexander, created promos and interstitials, plus a half-hour show they call "Wildlife," in which they roam the night with a camera crew to showcase "parties you couldn't get into," plus club action and Miami restaurants. One seg, called "VIP For a Night," involves taking a club patron from the end of the waiting line and escorting him past the doorman for a night to remember. The pair hit multiple venues in a single night, then edit the footage on computers. "Wildlife," updated more or less monthly, is showcasing events that took place during the teeming dance world convention known as the Winter Music Conference & M3 Summit, held in Miami Beach in March. Focus includes the DanceStar Awards, whose founder-CEO Andy Ruffel came onboard at A3 as a partner in December. A3's trio of owners are at work on expanding the concept for export to other cities. "We're putting plans together to bring A3 to New York and Los Angeles within the year," Altshuler says. -- Mary Sutter

- Saleen was wrong......... Just to let you all know, love the station or hate it.........we have NEVER played a WU TANG Trance remix or any WU TANG for that matter. I will admit, if it wasn't for Saleen we probably wouldn't have a lot to talk about, but DUDE, get you SHI** straight before starting something! LOL Buster

So let me ask you nick as a full blooded American........ Would you kick Natalia out of bed?

I'll pass along your thoughts.

Wow, that was pure poetry.

Are we back to this same old tired thing again.............?????????? C'mon guys. I thought you were done with this........... simply put we do not program this radio station for the likes of you and I. It is designed for the poeple who have never been to nor like clubs. Party 93.1 is programmed LIKE ALL top 40 radio station. IE - high repetition of HIT SONGS. Average radio listener in this demo listens for appriximately 15-20 mins, usually in a vehicle, so we need to hit them with the BIG CHOONS constantly. Truth be told, we are turning more and more people everyday to this music, opening doors for them seek other styles of dance music, further exposing artists and selling CD's making you guys happier because the artsits get to keep releasing music because they can make $$$$. And the numbers don't lie..........we are the #4 station in our demo and the #1 NON HIP HOP station. I have devoted my life to bringing dance music to new levels in the US through telelvision and radio. IF you and the other peeps on this baord want to contribute to the cause then get off your ass and do something..........otherwise, shut the hell up and let us change the face of dance music in the US. I hear no complaints when we are at SPACE, MIA MONDAYS, Sunday nights with Oakie, and GDJB the rest....... My suggestion to you........get satellite radio..........listen to a CD. But if you have a true love for dance music, support those who are working to push the industry forward, otherwise get the hell out of my way and shut your mouth.......I have no time amatuers who sit on their asses and bitch. As for you SALEEN.........Phil Michaels convinced the #3 largest radio company in the US to dedicate a 100,000 watt radio station strickly to the programming of HIT DANCE MUSIC. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE LATELY..........? yes, the same 20 people that post on this board will hang off your every word when it comes to a review or a rumor........but Call me when you get to the point where you can shine Phil's shoes. until then....keep your fist pumping and your $10 K-mart shirt out of my scene.........Jackass.

happy B-day D! You're doing a great job! Buster

once it is done I will be one of the first people in the US to get it and it will be put on A3.

Now that's what I'm talking about! Anyone else?

thanks man, no offense taken. I have a couple of good questions here, but really guys.....here is an oportunity to ask a question to a person whom, like him or hate him, has helped push the music we love forward. Really, I though the peeps on this thread were serious about the music....but all I hear is "cheese" this and "sell out" that. People ask me what kind of dance music I like to listen to...truth be told, I love it all.....that is why I do what I do. So is this all I can expect from true lovers of dance music?

WILL BE INTERVIEWING TIESTO AGAIN THIS SUNDAY AND I WOULD LIKE TO INCLUDE QUESTIONS FROM FANS........IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL BE AT....
