Earlier this week, FlamesNation managing editor Ryan Pike received a text from Nation Network CEO Jay Downton requesting a quick phone chat. After nervously deleting all the anti-Edmonton content from his social media feeds, Pike called him back.
The boss had an announcement that he wanted to share.
“What we’re going to be announcing today is we are forming a partnership with a company called Altitude Investments,” said Downton. “And they’re going to be placing an investment in the Nation Network to help grow this entity. We’ve been talking with them since October and the reason why they approached us is they recognize the brands that we’ve built, they recognize the communities that exist because of all this, and they also understand the potential of this space.
