    TLC to give a slice of Italy with ‘Mama’s Boys of the Bronx’

    MUMBAI: TLC brings an exciting and unique concept series Mama’s Boys of the Bronx. The series explores the relationship that 5 boys – Anthony, Frankie, Giovanni, Peter and Chip – share with their mothers. From cleaning their rooms, washing their clothes, preparing their favourite foods, to shopping for their groceries, these boys rely on their mothers for everything.

     

    The eight-episode series captures the everyday life of these proud Italian-American men who grew up together and still live with their mothers. Mama’s Boys of the Bronx will premiere on 7 July every Monday at 10 pm.

     

    The five boys are in their 30’s yet they let their mothers do everything for them. They work, they party and they go out looking for the Italian woman of their dreams.

     

    Anthony, Frankie, Giovanni, Peter and Chip are attractive, employed, in their 30’s and don’t have to clean their rooms or buy gel for their hair. Their mothers take care of everything. The mothers would love to see their sons married off to ‘good Italian girls,’ but until that day comes, they’re perfectly happy having their precious boys at home.

     

    Giovanni is one of them. He is 38, and is known as Johnny Margarita (because his father’s bar, where all the mobsters hung out, was called Cafe Margarita). He is an aspiring fashion designer. Frankie is also 38 and he grew up as a street kid. He now is a construction worker and he wants to find a girl just like his Italian mother, Gina, to start a family with. Peter is the youngest, 28, and he is a math teacher who aspires to be an actor. Chip, 36, is a personal trainer and Anthony, 35, is constantly on the prowl.

     

    The five men are portrayed at work, at home, out on the town and on their street, Arthur Avenue. Mama’s Boys of the Bronx gives a glimpse into the Italian-American culture in the Bronx, yet, is designed to entertain.

  • Exset introduces DMS for the cable operators of Uttarakhand

    MUMBAI: Netherland-based Exset has announced the availability of its award winning Digital Monetisation Solution (DMS) for the Television Cable Operators of Uttarakhand. 

     

    DMS is a revolutionary all-encompassing service which includes technology at the core, surrounded by localised applications, supported by business alliances delivering the objectives on the TV screens via a low cost Set Top Box (STB). One advantage via DMS – an operator asset has the potential to give the largest thrust to governance in the coming decade. 

    The Uttarkhand initiative announcement was made at the Press Conference at Dehradun recently. During the Conference, various models which could be adopted by the Cable Operators during the digitization process across Uttarakhand were also shared. 

     

    “Keeping in view the digitisation of the Cable Television in this country, we have introduced a unique proposition for the cable operators which will enable them to meet the challenges of digitisation, and also result in positive impact on their revenue stream,” said Exset BV MD and CEO Alex Borland.   

     

    “With adoption of DMS, the local cable operators of Uttarakhand will not only witness an increase in their revenues, but will also enable them to further enhance the end customer experience.
