"Consumer reaction to SWRV has been phenomenal with over 60 million viewer interactions since we launched," stated Damon Williams, VP Programming & Content Development at Music Choice. "As a result, we decided to expand our programming slate to include genre based shows that we expect to resonate with our core audience of 18-24 year olds and help us gain new fans as well."
