GGM prepares to launch its very own Broadband Channel: the GlobalGirl Media Network (GGMN). “The Thinking Girls Channel: Putting Girls at the Center of the Story," GGMN is dedicated to girls' empowerment, leadership, self-esteem and gender equality -- providing content by, for, and about girls and young women, and global and much needed perspectives for girls ages 13-24, filling a space left barren by major media outlets. Through emerging broadband television leader TV4 Entertainment, GGMN will offer high-quality video content and news reporting, and be accessible to viewers across the globe via the web and mobile through a destination content portal and super-distributed video network on such platforms as Hulu, Amazon, Roku and YouTube. GGMN is scheduled to launch October 10 to coincide with the International Day of the Girl.
