Novacom opens Novacom Kids Center
Novacom Broadcasting officially opened the
doors on its latest enterprise-the Novacom Kids Center-last week. The Kids
Center incorporates a wide variety of Novacom programming into interactive
displays and attractions. "Kickboxing Kids," "Space Wars," and "The Rex
Files" all had displays related to them. Manager Ricky Mullens expressed
pride in the new venture. "This will be a great opportunity for kids to just
come and enjoy themselves. We're very proud that children are going to be
provided with such a high-quality entertaining environment."
The name of the center will change in the next few weeks as the Center
conducts a "Name Game" contest. Participating children who visit the center
can submit their suggestions on names for the place. "We're anticipating a
lot of creativity on the contest and hope that the children have fun
thinking up monikers for our place," said Mullens, general manager of
Novacom.
Some parents don't like the "high intensity" and fast action of the games at
the Kids Center, while others have commented how similar the place is to
Whit's End. John Whittaker, owner of Whit's End, wouldn't comment
specifically on the Kids' Center, but said that he didn't see competition as
a bad thing. "Competition can really help business and I think that the
Novacom Center may force us to re-think Whit's End," said Whittaker.
