Boink TV: Coming Soon to a Channel Near You?

BOSTON — It started with a magazine. A book is on the way. Now, Alecia Oleyourryk and Christopher Anderson, founders of Boink Magazine, are pursuing loftier goals: The “Boink Show” may be coming to a cable channel near you.

While no deals have been concluded, Oleyourryk and Anderson are working on it.

“We are in the early development stages,” Anderson told XBIZ in an email interview upon his return from a photo shoot in the Caribbean for the Boink book. “We are working with our reps at the Gershen Agency to attach talent, package the project and sell it to a cable network buyer.”

The show would be a drama based loosely on the experiences Oleyourryk and Anderson have had with Boink Magazine.

While other college porn experiments, such as Harvard’s H-Bomb, have struggled to survive, Boink has been a commercial success. In addition to attaining a circulation of 20,000 (comprised of print and online sales), Warner Books has approached the duo to develop BOINK: College Sex by the People Having It. The book is expected to hit stores in February 2008.

Even with the book and hopes for a television show, Oleyourryk and Anderson have not forgotten the project that made it all possible. When they finish editing the photos from the recent excursion to the Caribbean, Anderson and Oleyourryk plan to begin work on the sixth issue of the magazine.

“The long-term goal is to develop additional distribution for the magazine,” Anderson explained, “and to continue to extend the brand with projects like the book and the TV show.”

The most recent issue of Boink, published in September 2006, sold 10,000 copies in print and another 10,000 electronically. A little more than one third of sales come from subscriptions.

Oleyourryk and Anderson started Boink with a $20,000 loan from a Boston University alumnus, despite hostility from the university’s administration. The first issue was released to wide acclaim in February 2005, offering what Oleyourryk calls “user-friendly porn” by college students for college students.
