+Added: President, Secretary, Treasurer, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting
+Added: As of the date of this Annual Report
+Added: and since the last day of the year ended December 31, 2022, we have not been able to timely repay certain of our other outstanding
+Added: debt obligations in addition to those obligations to Arena and Z4 described above, with an aggregate of approximately $3.5 million
+Added: currently in default, including accrued interest, default interest and late fees.
+Added: As a result of the Change of Control, we intend

+Added: Since October 2023, and as a result of
+Added: the Change of Control, we have had minimal operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash.

+Added: 2023, we held discussions with the head of content production of BCTV regarding initial plans to continue the Company’s business
+Added: plans described above as intended prior to the Change of Control.
+Added: However, we cannot make any guarantee as of the date of the filing

+Added: Foreclosure Agreement”).

+Added: As a result, the revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities of Sovryn were deemed discontinued operations for the year ended December
+Added: Competitive Conditions
+Added: Through our BCTV content, we intend to
+Added: compete for viewership in a marketplace that is fragmented and niche.

+Added: which operate CNBC and MSNBC, respectively, deliver content about cryptocurrencies, but none have a dedicated source for viewers
+Added: to continuously consume that content.
+Added: Dependence on Customers
+Added: Currently, we are not, and plan not to
+Added: be, dependent on one or a few major customers.
+Added: Our business is designed to generate revenue from four primary categories of customers:

+Added: Platform”), applications and websites, as well as through third-party broadcasters, cable television operators, and alternative
video distribution platforms, such as YouTube, Roku, Pluto and Xumo;

−Removed: networks as well proprietary content for BCTV.
−Removed: One example is their creation of an unscripted series, “Woke up Rich”, that
−Removed: details rags to riches story of individuals who got involved in crypto.
−Removed: plan to derive additional programming content by aggregating the world’s top influencers in the space, bringing larger than life
−Removed: personalities to the screen and elevating their viral content into long and short-form programing that we push out on all platforms from
−Removed: social media to broadcast television.
−Removed: We envision airing gaming content with viewers enabled to play along interactively and be rewarded

−Removed: operate the stations remotely and centrally, eliminating the need for in-market personnel or a studio facility.
−Removed: Remote operations of
−Removed: stations results in significant cost efficiencies.
