Betawave Announces Betawave TV

Betawave Corporation (OTCBB:GOFH) (www.Betawave.com), the first attention based digital media company, with a domestic reach of over 25 million unique users, announced today the premiere of Betawave TV, an ad-supported video platform. Betawave TV has launched on several publishers within the Betawave portfolio, and will also be available to select partners not in the Betawave publisher network. The product features advertiser-safe, family-friendly programming including quality animation, youth-oriented news, action sports, movie and video game information, special events, celebrity interviews, fashion, and health and beauty segments.

Betawave TV offers marketers a scalable video advertising and distribution solution and enables them to extend their relationship beyond display media and immersive integrations. The universal player is customized for each publisher’s look and feel and is incorporated into the navigation of each site ensuring a high level of consumer adoption. Sponsorship opportunities include the ability to feature messages before and after professionally produced video programming, as well as through overlays at appropriate points in the viewing experience.

"Broadband advertising represents a growing share of online revenues despite the fact that there is a shortage of programming in environments that conform to high editorial standards. Betawave TV allows us to provide advertisers and publishers high-quality video programming,” said Matt Freeman, CEO of Betawave. "Given the quality of our publishers and content providers, we see the introduction of Betawave TV as a safe and scalable solution unlike anything currently in the marketplace. This is one more example how Betawave continues to deepen its relationship with its partners.”

Jim Moloshok, Executive Chairman of Betawave added: "Our holistic programming approach leverages the unique attributes of each environment. We have been thoughtful in how the player is integrated into individual sites. Prominent navigation and editorial support will ensure that we are able to build audience quickly as users seamlessly migrate from video to publisher content areas and back again. This is unique in the marketplace, and enables brands to be woven into the fabric of the consumer experience. Betawave TV is a prime example of our commitment to deliver attention based media.”

Upon its premiere, Betawave TV will be integrated into sites including Cartoon Doll Emporium, Minyanland, Hallpass, GameGecko and others. Additional publishers inside and outside of the Betawave Network will be added post launch, increasing the reach for the sites carrying the broadband video platform to over 6.0 million unique users per month by the end of the first quarter of operation. This compares favorably against established video and TV network sites such as NBC.com with 7.3M users, ABC.com with 8.8M users, CBS.com with 4.7M users and Hulu with 5M unique users per month, according to comScore Media Metrix for January 2009.

Following its debut, Betawave TV will premiere original made-for-online branded content headlined by celebrities like Raven Symone, star of "That’s So Raven”; and high-profile programming such as the star-filled weekly show "Live from the Red Carpet” from Entertainment Premieres, Inc. These opportunities are designed for brand inclusion and will leverage the unique capabilities of various publisher sites with experiences that extend beyond video programming into gaming and virtual world integrations.

"We are thrilled about the upcoming launch of Betawave TV. The type of premium programming available through the product is in high demand by our visitors and the revenue implications of video ad formats is very meaningful,” says Evan Bailyn, CEO of Cartoon Doll Emporium. "We are also looking forward to the original programming opportunities that will be introduced, as I believe these will tap into the greatest strengths of Cartoon Doll Emporium. Imagine engaging a qualified audience of movie goers and influencers with both broad distribution of behind the scenes video segments and dress-up games customized around key characters from the film.”
