While much of Genesis City’s programming is broadcast publicly, a few private networks exist broadcasting premium culture-defining TV.

One such private network conglomerate, The ABO (Alpha Box Office), is a multi-media conglomerate responsible for several critically acclaimed docs, blockbuster films, and numerous television shows. The ABO was founded by Frontier's famous Dolan Gotham (NFH 4115). Dolan grew up in Degen Alley, having a traditionally rough upbringing in a broken home. Ongoing gang violence on his block kept Dolan indoors. He often found himself in bed dreaming of flying away in a spaceship and escaping into the stars for adventures away from the chaos.

As he grew older, he stumbled across a talent call for young teens to star in the upcoming film adaptation of the wildly successful “Lord of the Stars” trilogy.  As he began to recite the script from memory word for word, their gazes turned from doubt to admiration. During his time locked away in his childhood, he would spend hours reading and rereading that trilogy fueling his imagination and creativity. Two years after that audition, “Lord of the Stars: A New Dawn” would debut in theatres worldwide and propel him into stardom, making Dolan Gotham a household name in Genesis City. His popularity took him out of Degen Alley and lifted him to a life of luxury in Uptown Genesis City. The trilogy of films took just over 7 years to produce when it was completed with the critically acclaimed releases of “Lord of the Stars: The Sovereign Retribution” and “Lord of the Stars: The Heir’s Return”.

When the studio heads sought to continue the series beyond the original material without consulting the original author, Dolan refused to participate in the production. In turn, Dolan invested all of his fortunes from the franchise into starting his own production studio and network to produce premium content for those in Genesis City and across the Frontier looking for their own escapes. Thus ABO was founded nearly two decades ago and has since delivered excellent programming since. Some channels that exist under The ABO umbrella include “Molotov” the destruction channel, “Neo News Network” an alternative news source, “Unknown Frontier Network” a history/nature channel, and “Animation Fans Network” the most popular pre-teen cartoon channel. Mr. Gotham is now one of the most respected media moguls in the industry, known for helping start the careers of fledging actors and producing some of the best TV on the air. The successes of these channels have made Mr. Gotham a particularly wealthy individual who now acts as a patron of arts in the city sponsoring many community programs.

The Molotov channel is very controversial because it is primarily catered to would-be Villains. Some of its featured programmings show real crimes being committed and the super-powered battles of Heroes and Villians in a battle recap show called "Battle Fight Die" (Destroy, Build, Destroy). Another show called "Chaoticness" shows super-powered mishaps and pranks aimed at younger audiences. The channel's programming is accosted by parents for teaching the youth to be reckless and dangerous, while thousands tune in every night to watch these shows. When questioned about the controversial programming, Mr. Gotham said, "Its every person's right to find whatever escape they so choose; who am I to judge one's taste? We will continue to make shows as long as our audiences come back night after night."
