About Hobnox
Hobnox is the entertainment network for creatives and their fans.
Hobnox was created by artists, for artists. It is an initiative to provide necessary tools for better self-determined artistic expression on the internet. The Hobnox-channels Sly-Fi, 99stories and Str33t.org provide an aesthetic guideline and content statement to demon-strate the opportunities of web-TV in subject matters such as music, film and urban cul-ture. In spring 2008, the portal was launched and its community-, production- and pub-lishing-functions were united with the web-TV channels. Since June 2008, the site is in its public-beta-phase.
The Hobnox management and development sections are based in Cologne, Berlin and Munich.
