BUSINESS
BRIEFS January 20, 2005 Plum TV adds Aspen station Plum TV, a 24-hour cable television network serving upscale resort communities including Martha’s Vineyard, has agreed to acquire Aspen’s TV-16 from the Aspen Skiing Company. The channel will be renamed Aspen Plum. The deal is subject to FCC approval as well as the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. Plum TV had its initial launch in July 2004 with local channels in the Hamptons in New York, and Martha’s Vineyard (cable channel 76) and Nantucket. “I’ve skied in Aspen many times and visited the mountain for years. We’re psyched to be in business with Aspen,” said Tom Scott, CEO and co-founder of Plum TV. According to a company press release, Plum TV programming includes regionally-focused feature pieces, tourist information (weather, traffic reports, restaurant reviews, retail and lodging information), a real estate show, local news, and specially targeted entertainment for each community’s interests. Craftworks honored for decorations The Oak Bluffs Association named Craftworks on Circuit Avenue as the “best-decorated” business in town for the past holiday season. The award is based on style, tradition, originality, and beauty — according to a press release. Craftworks is owned by Paula Catanese and Ron D’Orio. The shop features an eclectic collection of contemporary American crafts. Edgartown water author contributes to volume William E. Marks of Edgartown, a local author who specializes in water, has been invited to contribute five articles to The Encyclopedia of Water, a soon-to-be-released five-volume set published by John Wiley & Sons, with a price of $1,500. According to Mr. Marks, the encyclopedia “was created with contributions of scientists, educators and professionals to form the premier source of water information for the ages.” Promotion at Sovereign Bank branch The Bank of Martha’s Vineyard, a division of Sovereign Bank, announced the promotion of Ann K. Hunt to Vice President. She had been branch manager of the Vineyard Haven office. “After 15 years with the Bank in Vineyard Haven, I feel I know our customers well, and as Vice President, am in a good position to help them with their banking needs even more,” said Ms. Hunt. Ms. Hunt has been active with Martha’s Vineyard Youth Hockey and the Martha’s Vineyard After School program. Her son, Nicholas Moreis, attends Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School. Ms. Hunt began working for the Martha’s Vineyard National Bank in 1989 and remained after the bank was bought by Compass Bank and then most recently by Sovereign Bank. |
