Freeplay Energy Signs Licensing Deal With CBS Survivor Show
LONDON, Freeplay Energy Group, the world's leading developer of self-sufficient energy technology and manufacturer of the internationally renowned line of self-sufficient Freeplay radios and lanterns, today announced that it has signed a licensing agreement with CBS that will make its Freeplay S360 Radio and 2020 Flashlight official gear of the Survivor show, which in 2000 ranked as the highest rated summer series ever.

The Freeplay S360 Radio and 2020 Flashlight, which will feature Survivor logo and packaging, contain patented technology that makes it possible to convert physical energy into electricity by simply winding a built-in handle, allowing them to work anytime, anywhere. Even on a deserted island. In addition to the wind-up capability, these lightweight and durable hand-held products incorporate a solar panel and rechargeable battery option, giving users the freedom to choose and control the source of their energy. With the Freeplay S360 Radio and 2020 Flashlight, there is no need to worry about the hassle of power cords or batteries, which makes them great gear to pack along on a trip to the Australian Outback, or to stash in the trunk of a car in case of emergencies.

"The self-sufficient design of the Freeplay S360 Radio and 2020 Flashlight was created with survivors in mind," said Rory Stear, chief executive officer of the Freeplay Energy Group. "With these products, you can have reliable access to information and light wherever your adventures take you in the world.

Freeplay's official Survivor gear, which will feature special packaging and a four-color Survivor logo, will soon be available in retail store locations nationwide. If you are a distributor and are interested in the Freeplay Survivor S360 Radio or 2020 Flashlight, please contact George Heywood or Ed Brooks at (845) 680-2233 for more information.
