OKTV uses open negotiation strategies to bring uplifting programming to airwaves

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Opportunity Knocks Television (OKTV), a television network with a progressive new philosophy and a subsidiary of Valiant Eagle Inc., today published a white paper entitled, “OKTV and Open Negotiation” 

As noted in the white paper, for decades, television has entertained, informed and inspired families. In recent years, it has strayed from these goals, but OKTV, a variety-based television network, is returning the medium to its roots with a mix of content and an innovative business model that encourages more creative programming.

Through the years – and especially with the millennial generation – the way people watch programming has drastically shifted. OKTV CEO, Xavier Mitchell, states, “As television producers seek greater control of their offerings to respond to these changes, they find themselves bound by limitations placed on them during negotiations by content producers, advertisers, financers, and legal and contractual teams.”

OKTV takes a different approach by ditching the broker and negotiating directly with producers. The move splits the risk between the producer and OKTV instead of placing it squarely on  the financier. This gives the network more control over its operations and programming, allowing producers more say from a creative standpoint. 

However, like traditional networks, OKTV does depend on its advertising stream to generate revenue. This profit potential is explained in detail  in the OKTV’s recently released whitepaper titled “OKTV and Open Negotiation”. The whitepaper goes into depth about the evolution of television networks and shifting audiences as well as open negotiation, OKTV’s programming and monetization.

The award winners were announced on Monday 24^th of February 2020 at Hotel Stefanie - the oldest hotel in Vienna - during a gala dinner.

The auction was held online and in the downtown Los Angeles gallery; 97% of all lots sold.

Downtown Los Angeles, CA, USA, February 26, 2020 -- The results of Andrew Jones Auctions’ first-ever auction of Collections Curated by Designers of Distinction were nothing short of phenomenal, as 97 percent of lots found new owners in a sale that totaled just under $2 million. The event was held February 23rd, online and in the downtown Los Angeles gallery at 2221 South Main Street.

The sale comprised nearly 500 lots, pulled from six California collections assembled by legends of interior design: Kalef Alaton, Craig Wright, Henrix Allardyce, Therien & Company, Inc., Steven Volpe and James Lumsden. Luxuriously upholstered chairs, elegant occasional tables, Chinoiserie decoration, fine art selections and exquisite objects struck a chord with bidders.

"We seem to have turned back the clock to a time when richly appointed interiors were the paradigm,” said Andrew Jones, president and CEO of Andrew Jones Auctions. “It was exciting to see so many decorators, collectors and grand millennials – many of them new clients – battle for each lot. It’s a great shot in the arm for traditional quality works with important provenance.”

A busy three-day preview in a gorgeously presented gallery led to a packed room on auction day with over 100 in-room clients, a full bank of phone bidders and two active online platforms bringing in buyers from around the world. Approximately 2,500 people registered to bid online.

Following are some of the major highlights from the auction. Internet bidding was facilitated by LiveAuctioneers.com and Invaluable.com. Also, 430 in-house registrations for absentee, phone and in-room bidding were recorded. All prices quoted include a sliding scale buyer’s premium.

The top lot of the sale was a beautiful ebonized Bosendorfer grand piano from the estate of Yasuko and Maury Kraines that fetched $46,250. From the same collection, a spectacular Victorian glass 24-light chandelier by Perry & Co. reached $40,000. The estate of Francis A. Martin III included a chic pair of Louis XVI bronze and marble étagères that achieved $45,000.

A wonderful collection from a Beverly Hills residence was highlighted by a colorful North Italian Rococo japanned commode in the manner of Pietro Massa, Piedmont that gaveled for $27,500, and a sinuous Chinese huanghuali armchair knocked down for $37,500. Also, Craig Wright’s stylish pair of Regence style bergères by Maison Jansen changed hands for $12,500.

Andrew Jones Auctions’ next big event will be a double-header of UnReserved on Main St. and DTLA (Downtown Los Angeles) Collections & Estates auctions on Saturday, March 21st and Sunday March 22nd, also online and in the gallery. Featured will be antique furniture, fine jewelry and silver, fine art and decorations. The preview begins on Thursday, March 19th.
