−Removed: create, develop and launch BlockchainTV (“BCTV”), the first-to-market 24/7 television broadcast and streaming communications
−Removed: network designed to bring the most up-to-date cryptocurrency information and entertainment to the masses in the U.S.
−Removed: We believe there is an information void
−Removed: in the blockchain global community where there is no credible, reliable and unbiased source for the most up-to-date information.
−Removed: We created BCTV to fill that void with a live broadcast network and distribution platform to deliver unbiased information in the
−Removed: global blockchain marketplace.
−Removed: We intend for BCTV to engage with viewers by bringing experts, entrepreneurs and entertainment programming
−Removed: into their living rooms and on their devices with a focus on unpacking trends, separating fact from fiction and providing insight

−Removed: delivered by a team of anchors who will provide breaking news, in-depth stories and interviews around the clock in studio settings
−Removed: and on location through contributing journalists.

−Removed: To achieve the North American rollout,
−Removed: we are focusing on strategic partnerships and distribution deals that deliver BCTV to households through more than 300 over-the-air
−Removed: television stations, through television distributors such as Comcast Cable, DirecTV and DishTV and through alternative distribution
−Removed: platforms such as Roku, Hulu, YouTube, Pluto and Xumo.
−Removed: The core revenue streams envisioned for

−Removed: Recent Developments
−Removed: On February 17, 2021, we entered into a
−Removed: securities purchase agreement with funds affiliated with Arena Investors, LP (collectively, the “Investors”) pursuant
−Removed: to which we issued convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of $16.5 million for an aggregate purchase price of $15 million
−Removed: (collectively, the “Notes”).
−Removed: We used proceeds from the Notes to acquire KNET and KNLA, Class A television stations
−Removed: in Los Angeles, California, KVVV, a low power television station in Houston, Texas, and KYMU-LD, a low power television station
−Removed: in Seattle, Washington.
−Removed: The Notes accrued interest at a rate of 11% per annum, subject to increase to 20% per annum upon and during
−Removed: the occurrence of an event of default.
−Removed: We did not make the $0.4 million interest payments on the Notes that were due on April 1,
−Removed: 2022, July 1, 2022, October 1, 2022, and December 31, 2022, and accrued default interest accordingly.
−Removed: The Notes were secured by
−Removed: a blanket lien on all of the Company’s assets and the shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company
−Removed: (“Common Stock”) and the Company’s preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (collectively, the “Pledged
−Removed: Assets”), held by Philip Falcone, FFO 1 2021 Irrevocable Trust (“FFO1”), FFO 2 2021 Irrevocable Trust (“FFO2”)
−Removed: and Korr Value LP (collectively, the “Pledgors”), which shares the Investors had been granted the right to vote in
−Removed: the event of default.
−Removed: On January 28, 2023, Arena Investors, LP
−Removed: (“Arena”), in its capacity as the agent (the “Agent”) for the Investors delivered a notice to us (the “Acceleration
−Removed: Notice”), which stated that the Agent and the Investors (a) elected to cause the outstanding principal amount of the Notes,
−Removed: plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts owing in respect thereof, to become immediately due and
−Removed: payable in cash, (b) intended to commence legal action to collect any or all of the amounts due under the Notes, and (c) sought
−Removed: the appointment of a receiver or trustee as a means of realizing proceeds on their collateral.
−Removed: On September 21, 2023, the Agent for the
−Removed: Investors delivered a notice to us that the Agent exercised the Investors’ rights to vote the Pledged Interests (as defined
−Removed: in such notice) and to exercise the Pledgees’ rights, powers and privileges, to pass certain resolutions and to amend our
−Removed: then-existing bylaws to, among other things, (i) remove the board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”)
−Removed: and all officers of the Company, and (ii) reduce the number of the Board of Directors from three directors to one director.
−Removed: a result of the Agent delivering such notice and exercising its rights to vote the Pledged Interests, a change of control of the
−Removed: Company occurred (the “Change of Control”).
−Removed: On November 6, 2023, the shareholders of
−Removed: the Company removed Philip Falcone and Warren Zenna from the Board of Directors and appointed Thomas Amon as the sole member of
−Removed: the Board of Directors.
−Removed: Amon removed all of the Company’s then-serving officers and appointed himself as the Company’s
−Removed: President, Secretary, Treasurer, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting
−Removed: As of the date of this Annual Report
−Removed: 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
−Removed: debt obligations in addition to those obligations to Arena and Z4 described above, with an aggregate of approximately $3.5 million
−Removed: currently in default, including accrued interest, default interest and late fees.
−Removed: As a result of the Change of Control, we intend
−Removed: to strategize with the holders of such notes to extend, modify or otherwise revisit the terms of such indebtedness in order to
−Removed: resolve such outstanding defaults.
−Removed: Since October 2023, and as a result of
−Removed: the Change of Control, we have had minimal operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash.
−Removed: However, in December
−Removed: 2023, we held discussions with the head of content production of BCTV regarding initial plans to continue the Company’s business
−Removed: plans described above as intended prior to the Change of Control.
−Removed: However, we cannot make any guarantee as of the date of the filing
−Removed: of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (this “Annual Report”) as to the timing
−Removed: and success of these plans, business relationships or reaching any self-imposed expectations, or that we will ultimately continue
−Removed: the Company’s business as so described.
−Removed: See “Cautionary Note Regarding Future Looking Statements”.
−Removed: Discontinued Operations
−Removed: On February 1, 2023, we entered into a

−Removed: Commission (“FCC”) licenses and other broadcast television assets associated with the broadcast television business
−Removed: of SovRyn Holdings, Inc (“Sovryn”), then our subsidiary, to a third-party entity controlled by the Investors (the “Partial
−Removed: Foreclosure Agreement”).
−Removed: In consideration therefor, the Investors agreed to reduce the indebtedness under the Notes by $11,600,000.
−Removed: As a result, the revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities of Sovryn were deemed discontinued operations for the year ended December
−Removed: Competitive Conditions
−Removed: Through our BCTV content, we intend to
−Removed: compete for viewership in a marketplace that is fragmented and niche.
−Removed: Major media organizations such as Bloomberg and Comcast,
−Removed: which operate CNBC and MSNBC, respectively, deliver content about cryptocurrencies, but none have a dedicated source for viewers
−Removed: to continuously consume that content.
−Removed: Dependence on Customers
−Removed: Currently, we are not, and plan not to
−Removed: be, dependent on one or a few major customers.
−Removed: Our business is designed to generate revenue from four primary categories of customers:
−Removed: (1) advertisers and sponsors of our BCTV content airing on our broadcast over-the-air content distribution platform (the “OTA
−Removed: Platform”), applications and websites, as well as through third-party broadcasters, cable television operators, and alternative
−Removed: video distribution platforms, such as YouTube, Roku, Pluto and Xumo;
−Removed: (2) viewers of our BCTV content, who form the audience that
−Removed: attracts advertisers and sponsors;
