UPtv’s Post

UP Entertainment is celebrating its 20th Anniversary on October 30, 2024. To commemorate the big day, the company has established October 30 as National UPlift Someone Day. UPlift Someone is UP Entertainment’s core purpose and is a core value at the company. National UPlift Someone Day (October 30) will be a day to spread joy and appreciation. Acts of kindness such as a simple thank you or recognizing those who have made a positive impact can go a long way in making others feel connected and valued. When we see an uplifting act or are lucky enough to be the recipient, it energizes us to pay it forward. We encourage you to participate by volunteering, opening a door for someone, writing a thank you note or complimenting a stranger.

In addition, the brand has recently expanded to include acquisitions GaitherTV Plus, featuring country, gospel, bluegrass and Christian-music content, as well as a partnership with Christian-themed, kids-targeted SVOD service Minno. Spearheading UP Entertainment’s business operations is CEO Charley Humbard.

We are deeply saddened to announce the sudden passing of our colleague, Tony Dardeau.

UP Entertainment's Founder and CEO Charles Humbard recently spoke to Variety about our new streaming bundle offer providing value and ease of purchase for consumers. From Variety: In another sign of how the pay TV marketplace is evolving, Up Entertainment is expanding its streaming offering by bundling in outlets that fit with the company’s faith and family-oriented entertainment theme. Gospel legend Bill Gaither has teamed with Up to bring his GaitherTV+package of gospel music and specials to the Up Faith and Family streaming platform as of next month. Also joining the Up Faith and Family bundle later this year, during the third quarter, is Minno, the indie streamer focused on content for kids that draws on the Bible and other spiritual themes. https://lnkd.in/efYTJX2y
