RSSMARKET WIRE
The Actors Group (www.theactorsgroup.com), one of the most well-respected talent agencies in the Northwest, today announced it has negotiated a two-year deal for local voice talent Kymberli Colbourne to be the new "voice of KSTW-TV UPN 11" (http://www.upn11.com/) for all of the station's ID and promotional spots. KSTW-TV reaches more than 1.6 million TV homes in the Puget Sound region, and an additional 1.3 million cable homes throughout British Columbia and the state of Washington. In addition to her new role as "voice of UPN 11" listeners will recognize Kymberli as the voice of countless radio and television ads.
The Actors Group also announced today that it has secured a one-year contract extension for Chris Cashman to continue as host of the popular Sunday afternoon show "Movies on the Run" which also airs on KSTW-TV UPN 11. During the show Chris hosts a movie from various locations around Western Washington -- quite literally, while he is "on the run." Guest stars from around the area and across the country drop in on Chris's show to see what he's up to each weekend.
"The Actors Group continues to secure work for our talent at local affiliates... combine that with the increased profile our talent is commanding on a national level -- both radio and television -- makes this a very productive and exciting time for our agency," said Jamie Lopez, president The Actors Group.
The Actors Group roster also includes "Survivor" host and reality show icon Jeff Probst, "Voice of the Sonics" Kevin Calabro and King 5-TV "Evening Magazine" host John Curley. Its On-Camera Division will soon announce a six-figure network deal for a prime time special that will air later this year in conjunction with an Emmy Award-winning series.
