Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Private Television Network?
A Private Television Network (PTN) is your dental organization's own branded television network that creates a relaxing atmosphere and reinforces your brand with place-based marketing. An eScapes PTN creates a pleasant, stress-free environment by combining captivating HD video and soothing music with your custom messaging that raises customer awareness and promotes your products and services. Your PTN is a company/organization-wide, statewide, regional, national or international in-house communications, education, and entertainment platform. It supports on-demand, dynamic messaging and playlist management. It has never been easier to enhance your brand and professional image with your own PTN – whether you have two or three offices in the same city or thousands of locations across the globe.
What is a Private Television Channel?
A Private Television Channel (PTC) is your own branded television channel just as a local TV station is affiliated with a national TV network. Your PTC is your own in-house communications, education, and entertainment platform at a cost that's significantly less than your monthly cable or satellite bill. .
What are the benefits and features of a PTN & PTC?
A PTN offers you and your patients many benefits:
• eScapes-patented 24/7 Hybrid Radio/Television (HRT) content provides powerful and serene episodes of scenic locations and subjects combined with soothing music that engages your clients, patients, visitors, and staff. Over 40 hours of non-repeating HRT programming with monthly updates refreshing the playlist.
• Maximize your patient/client experience – relaxed customers perceive time differently and waiting times seem much shorter. Research has demonstrated that people in a relaxed state of mind retain more information and they also perceive goods and services as having higher monetary valuations.

Community outreach, event calendars, products, and services are opportunities to inform and promote, on a continual basis, to your customers

How does the PTN/PTC technology work?
eScapes HRT content originates from our studio and is played out locally to one or more screens using our Ethernet-enabled PTN controller. Content and episode files, ads, and playlists on the PTN controller are managed and loaded via the Internet. This technology supports a single facility or disparate, multi-point locations alike. Our technology team works with you or your IT staff to deliver the right solution for your organization.
