K2 Studios and Pamela Anderson Unveil New Channel Showcasing Premier IMAX / Giant Screen Theater Documentaries Alongside TV Series and Specials From Top Producers In Nature, Science, Space, Exotic Travel And More

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The highly anticipated EarthDay 365 channel has made its debut exclusively on Pluto TV, the leading free streaming television service. EarthDay 365 finds its home on Pluto TV’s “Animals + Nature” category, offering viewers a dedicated space to explore and celebrate the wonders of our planet.

Pamela Anderson and K2 Studios unveil new EarthDay 365 channel on Pluto TV

Established IMAX format documentary film studio and unscripted TV producer/distributor, K2 Studios, has joined forces with global icon and dedicated environmental activist, Pamela Anderson, to unveil the new channel in the United States and worldwide, commencing with Pluto TV. EarthDay 365 is dedicated to delivering content that delves into the exploration and celebration of our world, showcasing individuals who challenge boundaries and unravel the mysteries of nature and science. Additionally, the channel shines a spotlight on real-life heroes engaged in the most crucial battles of our era, working tirelessly to safeguard our planet and secure a sustainable future. As part of this mission, 5% of all proceeds will be donated to environmental causes; simply watching the channel will automatically generate more ad revenue and donations.

The channel will initially draw from an extensive 2,500-hour content lineup, showcasing award-winning TV series, specials, and IMAX documentary films sourced from the world’s largest library of 100+ titles, with a steady stream of new content across various genres is in the pipeline. The content spans nature, science, space, and thrilling exotic/adventure travel experiences. Exclusive features include a selection of IMAX format documentaries, and the premiere of original series such as the visually stunning Shark Heroes and Wonders of Wildlife, shot in cutting-edge 4K and 8K. Notably, EarthDay 365 aims to address the scarcity of nature-focused channels, presenting viewers with a unique offering of premium content at no cost. This move aligns with the rising trend of free ad-supported channel viewership, providing audiences with unparalleled access to diverse and high-quality programming.

“I’ve always believed in the symbiotic importance of respecting nature, animals and our environment,” said Pamela Anderson. “I’ve been active for many years helping to raise awareness for worthwhile causes in each of these areas, and the EarthDay 365 channel is a great opportunity to provide engaging and inspirational content that’s free and accessible to anyone 24/7/365. It’s inspirational, hopeful – mostly about exploring and celebrating our world… along with passionate people who are willing to put themselves out there to make a positive difference.”

EarthDay 365 will feature content with broad appeal that is underrepresented in the current media landscape. 78% of US adults think the country should do whatever it takes to protect the environment (Pew Research), and 82% of 18–35-year-olds say climate change is important to them, including 77% of right-leaning respondents (American Conservation Coalition Poll). 90% of consumers say they are likely to switch to a brand that supports an environmental or social cause given similar price and quality (Cone Communications). And a USC Media Impact Project study found that just 2.8% of scripted film and TV episodes from 2016-2020 mentioned climate change, while 78% of climate-conscious viewers wanted to see more of this or are open to it.

“EarthDay 365 brings together K2’s unparalleled library of super-premium IMAX format documentary films, TV series and specials from top producers, and high-end original productions with our founders’ history launching and operating the Havoc Television cable TV network carried by the largest US cable TV operators for over 15 years,” said K2 Partner and EVP Television Ryan Kresser. “Now the FAST channel world is exploding, and we love the opportunity it provides to reach many millions of viewers around the globe with this new, incredibly worthwhile channel, completely free!”

“We know that our viewers are more passionate about the environment than ever before, and Earthday 365 is providing a way to make an impact simply by watching television,” says Amy Kuessner, EVP Programming, Pluto TV. “We’re proud to partner with environmental activist, Pamela Anderson and K2 Studios to bring inspiring documentaries, stunning nature shows, and engaging series that celebrate our planet and the people who are working to protect it, all while giving back in a tangible way.”

Audiences can access EarthDay 365 channel for free on Pluto TV. Pluto TV is available anywhere content is streamed – across all major mobile, CTV and web devices.

AGEDB Announces Preliminary Technical Evaluation of Graph Database and AI Data Platform Opportunities

Published

on

By

VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 21, 2026 /CNW/ — AGEDB Technology Ltd. (TSXV: AGET) (“AGEDB” or the “Company”) announces that it is evaluating opportunities to re-engage in its historical graph database business area through preliminary architectural design and technical assessment of potential AI data platform applications, following its entry, on September 16, 2026, into a memorandum of understanding (the “MOU”) with a Korea-listed company exploring opportunities to enter the AI sector (the “Korean Company”).

The Company previously disclosed that it had discontinued its graph database management system operations during the year ended April 30, 2025 and was seeking new business opportunities. The Company is now assessing potential opportunities to leverage its existing Apache AGE-related technology and experience. These preliminary evaluations should not be interpreted as a resumption of full-scale development or commercial operations.

Under the MOU, AGEDB and the Korean Company contemplate evaluating an integrated package combining locally installed PostgreSQL and Apache AGE relationship-analysis database technology with an AI agent. The MOU also contemplates a separate “Personal AI Operating System” evaluation track, referred to as “AGE Brain,” for potential use in user-controlled computing environments. The proposed applications remain conceptual and subject to further technical and commercial assessment.

The contemplated preliminary work includes architectural design and technical evaluation of approaches to connecting relational data with graph-based relationships and supporting AI-assisted information retrieval and analysis. The parties may consider proof-of-concept testing and pilot activities, but no timeline or commitment to undertake such activities has been established under the MOU.

The MOU has a one-year term. Except for provisions expressly identified as binding, it is non-binding and does not require either party to complete development, launch or commercialize a product, make an investment, commit personnel, pay development fees, or enter into a definitive commercial agreement. Specific project scope, deliverables, schedules, responsibilities, costs and any commercialization terms remain subject to further discussions and, where applicable, separate written agreements. Each party will bear its own evaluation costs unless otherwise agreed in writing.

The Company’s evaluation remains preliminary. No product launch, commercial revenue or definitive commercialization arrangement has been agreed, and there can be no assurance that the parties will proceed with development, that the proposed platform will be completed or commercialized, or that the Company will obtain the resources required to advance the opportunity.

AGEDB may also explore potential collaborations with AI development companies in Korea and other markets, subject to available resources and further assessment.

Forward-Looking Information

Forward-looking information is based on management’s current expectations and assumptions and is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. The memorandum of understanding is generally non-binding, and there can be no assurance that the parties will proceed with or complete any development, pilot, product launch or commercial arrangement, or that AGEDB will enter into additional collaborations.

Acquisition follows a successful partnership between the two companies and advances Bose’s evolution into a multi-brand products and technology company

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. and PARK CITY, Utah, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bose Corporation, a global leader in audio innovation and research, announced today it has acquired Skullcandy, a lifestyle audio brand known for its bold products that bring together sound, style and performance. Bose and Skullcandy have each spent decades finding new ways to bring people closer to the music they love. Together, they’ll combine Bose’s audio expertise, technology and global reach with Skullcandy’s design, understanding of its consumers and authentic community connections to create new products and experiences and accelerate growth.

The acquisition follows a multi-year partnership that has already brought Sound by Bose technology to Skullcandy earbuds and headphones. The companies have seen firsthand how their strengths can come together to create products consumers love while staying true to what makes Skullcandy special, providing a foundation to accelerate further collaboration and innovation.

With a strong position at the intersection of audio, lifestyle and culture, Skullcandy will remain a separate brand within Bose’s Premium Consumer Audio business. Skullcandy’s deep roots in boardsports, including longstanding relationships with passionate supporters of the culture and its athletes, and authentic connections across music, gaming, fitness and other communities present new ways for Bose to meaningfully connect with consumers where it has less presence today.

“For more than 60 years, Bose has been committed to delivering incredible audio experiences however and wherever people choose to listen. As we work to reach even more people, we’re expanding how we do that, not only through Bose products, but through technology partnerships and a growing portfolio of brands,” said Lila Snyder, Chief Executive Officer of Bose Corporation. “As a privately held company, we have the freedom to make bold, long-term investments in opportunities we believe in, and Skullcandy is a great example of that. They have an established, thriving brand, and together we see tremendous opportunity to create new products and experiences and reach more consumers around the world.”

“We believe this is a win for Skullcandy and our fans,” said Brian Garofalow, Chief Executive Officer of Skullcandy. “Skullcandy was born on a chairlift in Park City, Utah, over 20 years ago, and we’ve always believed great music should be part of the experiences people love. Joining Bose gives us the opportunity to make those experiences even better by bringing more of their audio expertise and technology to our products, and it opens up even more ways to take Skullcandy further.”

Bose plans to invest in Skullcandy’s continued growth, providing greater access to technology, resources, global distribution and commercial relationships while giving the brand the freedom to continue evolving in ways that are authentic to its identity and consumers. Skullcandy will continue to be based in Park City, Utah.

Bose acquired Skullcandy from a fund managed by Mill Road Capital Management LLC, a Connecticut-based private investment firm. Jones Day acted as Bose’s legal counsel. Additional information, including financial and other terms of the transaction, will remain confidential.
