Re-launch of Psychic Friends Network as publicly traded company showcased in Bloomberg Businessweek
LAS VEGAS, April 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Psychic Friends Network (OTCBB: PFNI)
"… the prevalence of such technologies as online chat, FaceTime, mobile text messaging, and social networking has created an environment in which psychic services can thrive online and on mobile devices rather than rely on phone lines." -- PFN CEO Marc Lasky

The Psychic Friends Network is pleased to announce that they have been showcased in Bloomberg Businessweek.
As the Businessweek article reports, the once highly popular Psychic Friends Network (PFN) is back – and this time, it's a publically traded company.
Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, PFN established itself as the second-highest grossing infomercial in television history, according to the Baltimore Sun. And now, more than a decade later, the former blockbuster TV program is attempting to rise anew in a decidedly different format.
"From a business perspective, the Psychic Friends reprise raises the question of whether an entity that was once such an integral part of the broadcast media can now make the transition into the online realm of social media," said PFN spokesperson Carter Clews.
"And from a human-interest perspective, the PFN revival provides a case study in the time-honored father-son dynamic. People will be interested in seeing whether the younger Lasky can replicate online the remarkable success story the elder Lasky spawned on air."
