PSN announced this week that Prinze Jr. is now a co-owner of the platform, along with Paul Owen, Josh Shernoff and Fred Shernoff.
Prinze Jr., who currently hosts the “Wrestling With Freddie” and “That Was Pretty Scary” podcasts, will help the continuing growth of the streaming service, both on-air and behind the scenes. He said he’s genuinely excited by the PSN team and their dedication, proven success, and in-depth understanding of the streaming industry.
“Premier Streaming Network has rapidly established an impressive, user-friendly platform that champions independent promotions and creators and their diverse content,” Prinze Jr. said. “I’m genuinely excited by the PSN team’s dedication, their proven success and their in-depth understanding of the streaming industry. Combining my own experiences with their passion, we’re forming a dynamic team focused on delivering the content viewers want to see and offering talented content creators a home to showcase their talents.”
