America’s Energy Network will be launching a television service dedicated exclusively to the energy industry. The network will film the debut of its premiere show, NAPE TV, at the NAPE Summit in Houston, Texas. The show will be live-streamed on www.AmericasEnergyNetwork.com.

“We hope to be the positive voice for all of the energy industry,” Jim McGowen, President and CEO of America’s Energy Network, says. “We will be covering this space honestly and intelligently.”

In order to meet the network’s full-time launch in the fall of 2015, McGowen, a 42-year veteran of the energy industry, and AEN have teamed up with Dallas-based Arkleus Broadcasting to handle production.

“When we knew we wanted to start the network, we partnered with Arkleus Broadcasting to handle the launch of the network,” McGowen says. “The President of Arkleus, Joe Shults, was part of the launch of iconic television brands like MTV, E!, Nickelodeon and VH1. He has assembled a powerful team of media experts.”

Both AEN and Arkleus have been working exclusively with NAPE to make the new network’s premiere a resounding success.

Marty Schardt, Executive Vice President of the American Association of Professional Landmen (AAPL) noted, “NAPE is proud to be the place where AEN is born. Not only will attendees now have the chance to experience the country’s leading marketplace for buying, selling and trading oil and gas prospects and producing properties, but they will also be able to witness history in the making — watching America’s Energy Network and NAPE TV come to life.”

Joe Shults, President of Arkleus, echoes that sentiment.
“We are thrilled to partner with NAPE and AEN to provide attendees with a sneak peek of the first and only television network dedicated to America’s energy industry,” Shults added. “It’s time to set the record straight about America’s oil and gas industry.”
