Нещо, което е било наша цел още от стартирането на в. “България СЕГА” и “The B lga ia Co ectio ” B si ess i ecto . Ето че вече телевизионната програма на BG7 TV се разпространява на няколко онлайн платформи, а също така и по най-голямата кабелна телевизия в САЩ Comcast Cable. маме много идеи за BG7 TV, които постепенно с помощта на нашите бизнес партньори ще реализираме на практика. С в. “България СЕГА”, BG7 Radio, BG7 TV и “”The B lga ia Co ectio ” B si ess i ecto ” сме близо до постигането на нашата визия за амбициозния ни медиен проект, чиято главна цел е осигуряването на комфортна среда за българите в Чикаго, САЩ и Канада и защитаването на техните интереси. скам да благодаря на всички бизнеси и на всички наши партньори и почитатели за тяхната подкрепа, благодарение на която не само че продължаваме да съществуваме, но и динамично израстваме в професионално отношение всяка година, всеки месец, всяка седмица. Ние имаме нужда от нови партньори, независимо дали това касае нашия печатен, електронен, аудио или видео медиен формат. Оча ваме да се свър ете с нас на тел. 773.317.8035 или е-mail: [email protected]. Както винаги, приветстваме обратната връзка с нашите читатели и почитатели и ще анализираме внимателно всяко едно предложение. През изминалите 15 години българската общност в САЩ и Канада и особенно в Чикаго, постигна много успехи. Пред нас сега стои нелеката задача да съхраним тази общност. ма хора в България с пари и влияние, които не желаят да има силни и сплотени български общности в чужбина. Затова не трябва да се изненадваме, когато се правят опити за саботаж, контролиране и експлоатиране на нашата общност. Независимо, че българинът по пририда е индивидуалист, защитаването на интересите на българските имигранти в САЩ и Канада е обща кауза за всички нас и ние трябва да проявим решителност и безкомпромисност. В. “България СЕГА”, BG7 Radio, BG7 TV, “The B lga ia Co ectio ” B si ess i ecto ” и всички останали наши медийни ресурси ще бъдат използвани за защита на интересите на българите в САЩ и Канада. В наш интерес е, в интереса на България и българската кауза, да бъдем силни и сплотени! Една ългарс а о ност се гради трудно в чу ина и о е о-трудно е да се за ази Пожелавам на всички Вас здраве, финансово благополучие и много позитивни емоции през следващата година!
