In the 30 years I have been associated with Paul Allen and NightMoves we have hit a number of landmarks, created a number of firsts in the industry. Our awards show is the 3rd longest running in the industry behind AVN and XRCO. In 2011 we began the All Adult Network (AAN). Since that time the website has undergone several changes and makeovers. Since it’s latest makeover in late 2014 and into 2015 it has grown into one of the top adult informational web sites in the industry with daily press releases, industry news and features. These features appeal to a wide segment of the world wide web population because of their diversity. The response we get for these features, DVD reviews and press releases come from every corner of the globe and the numbers on Facebook, Twitter, etc. are incredible.
As the National Features & DVD Editor with NightMoves since the beginning I have come up with a lot of different ideas that were part of NightMoves and the beginnings of AAN. I am very proud of the segments I put together for AAN and some are reaching their own landmarks. For example, my “Girl of the Week” feature enters its 5th year in 2019. The very first appeared on January 20, 2015 and featured Jillian Janson. To date we have featured over 200 female porn stars in this popular biographical feature and the one I am most proud of.
There is the “Porn Classics Revisited”. In this feature we review a particular year, the cost of living, the news and entertainment headlines from that year and a review of a porn classic from that year. While the majority are from the 70’s and 80’s, there some from the 90’s deserving of the word ‘classic”. I use twenty five years or older as a guide. The very first one in this series appeared on February 2, 2015. It was 1986’s “The Ribald Tales of Canterbury” starring Hyapatia Lee. Since then we have done over 150 in this series. I have repeated many of them and always update them for the large number of new viewers that are constantly coming onto AAN for the first time.
I wanted to bring back many of the stars from the past so I put together “Where Are They Now??”. This is a biographical piece with photos of porn stars from the golden age and beyond and their life story from beginning to the present. A number of stars from the golden age have passed on but the legacy they left behind and their places in the AVN and XRCO Halls of Fame speaks volumes. The very first in this series appeared February 18, 2015 and featured Arcadia Lake. Since then we have done over 125 stars. We have also repeated a number of these always updating them for the benefit of our many new viewers to AAN.
There is also our twice weekly “Additional New Releases” where we give you a short overview of six new DVDs in each edition. Thus far this series has reviewed close 500 different titles. Then there are our other features like “Ladies Day”, our special holiday features and of course our regular full DVD reviews plus the Friday 4 and 5 Star Features. Last year we began “Art’s World” that covers many different subjects, not all sexual in nature. For trivia buffs and people who like fun things there is Paul Allen’s “Shit We Should Know” and “Comedy Corner” that are very fun and popular. As you can see there is a lot for folks to enjoy each day on AAN to keep everyone informed and entertained.
With tomorrow the start of 2019, I can promise you these features will continue. We will do our best to come up with some new ideas for your entertainment. It’s been a fantastic ride for nearly 30 years with Paul, Tracy and NightMoves. The addition of AAN and the response from all of you has been terrific and we will continue to make it even better. Thank you for your continued support.
Have a very Happy New Year everyone!
Art Koch, National Features & DVD Editor, NightMoves Magazine and AAN
