UNVEILING A NEW 26 X 1HR FACTUAL CONTENT SERIES:

THE CONSPIRACY SHOW

WITH RICHARD SYRETT

FIRST EPISODE OF RICHARD SYRETT’S TV LAUNCH

POSTED ONLINE OCT 21, 2009.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

TORONTO – Starfield Releasing is proud to unveil the new TFC Productions /

WOWTV production of broadcaster Richard Syrett’s high quality, edgy, and thoughtprovoking

new television series: The Conspiracy Show With Richard Syrett.

Richard Syrett, a 20-year, major-market veteran of talk radio first came to note on The

Richard Syrett Show originating at Toronto’s CFRB Radio where he soon drew a wide

audience that became ever more focused on issues related to conspiracy theories and

the paranormal. Richard provided a calm, intelligent and respectful environment which

generated a big and loyal fan base.

Richard produced and hosted a similarly themed weekly show for UK’s famous

Glastonbury Radio, at the same time becoming a hot guest-host on the US Coast to

Coast show with an audience ranging from 10-17 million.

Speaking about the TV series, Richard notes:

“We aim to rattle some cages, take people out of their comfort zone, and get them

asking questions of their own. After watching I expect people will soon realize that

just because something appears on the front page of the New York Times doesn’t

necessarily mean it’s true. People are so hungry and so ready for this information.

Many of us have always suspected “the world is being pulled over our eyes”, to

quote Morpheus from The Matrix. The time for this type of television is now.”

Producing The Conspiracy Show With Richard Syrett came about when TFC

Producer Ron Craig did some research supporting his suspicion that interest in

conspiracy theory had become mainstream. Realizing this growing global constituency

was underserved in television Ron and his partner Tony Luan at TFC Inc. joined forces

with WOWTV Studios (Toronto) to co-produce the first season of 26 one-hour episodes.

“We are now in an era in which people who would never consider

themselves “conspiracy theorists” commonly have interest in the

propositions that might once have been considered a fringe realm” notes

Ron Craig. “Interest in paranormal phenomena and unexplained

mysteries, from alternative energy and health to forbidden archaeology

and suppressed scientific discoveries are now fair game for all”.

TFC is a new Toronto-based, internationally oriented TV and webcasting company. The

Conspiracy Show With Richard Syrett is the flagship venture for this new team.

Ron and Tony brought in Starfield’s Executive Producer Philip Jackson (Starhunter,

Critical Tensions) to help develop the concept and direct the initial episodes, setting

the template for the series.

“It’s time for something really new in this genre,” said Philip Jackson. “This

is something refreshing, energized and a perfect launch pad for a new

paradigm in this factual content. There is a lack of high-quality TV

programming giving respectful and professional presentation to these

great and ongoing debates.”

TFC Producer Tony Luan adds: “We have a fantastic partner in Richard

Syrett and the co-production relationship with WOW TV brings the

resources needed to make this something very exciting and very special.

We are commercializing this growth area of public fascination and raising

the bar in the quality of the debates in The Conspiracy Show with

Richard Syrett”.

The show is designed with a sense of accessibility that reflects Richard’s radio roots.

The series encourages its audience to feel comfortable in rationally exploring and

debating views about subjects that run the gamut from 9/11 conspiracies to health

“secrets”, assassinations and shadow governments to suppressed science.

“We couldn’t be more pleased to be the distributors of this exciting new series,”

notes Starfield President Mark Pickering in a call from Starfield’s London office.

“With such a strong production team and the talent of Richard Syrett, The

Conspiracy Show With Richard Syrett is sure to be one of the next great names in

this TV format. With its intensive interaction in parallel web content, the series offers

innovative engaging and highly-targeted programming.”

The series offers a respectful, but not unchallenging, platform to its guests. The always

thought-provoking and sometimes controversial guests can be further engaged by the

audience via the The Conspiracy Show With Richard Syrett website.

The site will provide access to documentation the guests refer us to, and countervailing

mainstream documentation. Episodic critical reasoning guides will enable interested

viewers to engage in reasoning and sleuthing work on their own.

Unedited interviews will also be available to audiences. Broadcasters will be able to

link directly to these functions. The further functions of the site – affirmatively

connecting the international conspiracy and paranormal communities- via Richard

Syrett’s highly respected identity- is expected to bring audiences to the broadcasters,

reversing the typical draw of the web from television.

“It will be a fully cross-branded product,” notes Jackson, “with the TV series, a

content cross-reference to its interactive website offers broadcasters a vast reach

with multiple opportunities for cross-branding.”

The trailer for The Conspiracy Show with Richard Syrett (click on trailer at

www.starfieldstudios.tv) was posted at MIPCOM, resulting in buyer interest in North

America, UK, Australia and New Zealand with educational and non-theatrical rights

distributed by Distribution Access.

In the first episode Richard has a fascinating, in-depth meeting with a thoughtful,

engaging international spokesman for the UFO disclosure movement, holds a live-totape

past life regression session and interviews the subject as she comes out of the

experience, and meets an archivist and scientist exploring allegations that Nazi’s had a

much larger role within the US government than is publicly acknowledged with direct

consequences on current events.

The radio counterpart to The Conspiracy Show With Richard Syrett (an independent

show not taped from the TV sessions) is broadcast from Toronto’s Zoomer Radio AM

740 and is heard from Thunder Bay Ontario to the Carolinas, Maine to Minnesota, New

York, Washington and Chicago.

The Conspiracy Show With Richard Syrett is shot, post-produced and delivered in

HDTV, running 47:30 each of 26 episodes.
