Action Video Entertainment This is the official page of Action Video Entertainment, soon-to-be on-demand (coming mid-summer 2024) Shasta, California.

Action Video Entertainment was founded in 1992 by Bill Janis, John Googins and John McCarthy as a video production company. It provided goods and service in the field of broadcast quality videos and was the primary video source for Mt. Shasta's local cable channel 3 (King Videocable/Continental Cablevision/MediaOne/Northland Cable Television). It was taken over by Mike Summers in 2005 and was esse

ntially dormant until 2010. It is currently being run as a service as it restructures itself and looks to become and broadcast company. As a part of that broadcast company, AVE announced on July 3, 2017, that the company was returning to its old home base of Mt. We also merged with The Wacko Radio Network to create the new Action VR Network, which is based out of Coconut Creek, Florida, and officially hit the air on July 6, 2017. Out of it came Action VR TV, which would officially replace Action Video Entertainment in the summer of 2019. Action VR TV (and AVE prior) began airing content on YouTube, but deleted its YouTube channel in March 2021 immediately after the permanent banishment of theDove TV for supposedly "violating their community standard". That caused Action VR TV to take a stand against YouTube. We now broadcast our content and a few bonuses on our Rumble and Odysee channels! But as they say in the business, "Stay tuned... more to come!"

As of October 9, 2023, Action VR TV is co-owned by Siskiyou Broadcast Group of Mount Shasta, California and AVR Productions of Coconut Creek, Florida. In December 2023, SBG began the process of relaunching Action Video Entertainment as an on-demand internet streaming service. (Action VR TV is now solely owned by AVR Productions.)

AVE is splitting from Action VR TV, which is solely owned by AVR Broadcasting, who also owns Action VR Network and has dual ownership with SBG. SBG are now minority owners. AVE is set for relaunch around the same time as the slow launch of SBG radio and TV stations. More details to come...

On April 25, 2019, Action Video Entertainment has announced that it will cease operations on June 30, 2019. Operations officially ended on July 1, 2019, effectively ending 26 1/2 years of video excellence and broadcast production. The company will transition into a new entity known as Action VR TV sometime in the fall of 2019.
