Launch highlights PodShow Emergence as new media network as Industry leader predicts PodShow will “transform the Internet like MTV transformed cable television”

SAN FRANCISCO and LONDON — October 18, 2007 — PodShow, the leading broadband entertainment network which allows users to play, collect, share and create millions of hours of episodic programming, videos and music, announced the success of its new dynamically generated, live entertainment channel, “thePLUS.” The channel featured the premier of a new show, BackStage Pass, produced by BTPodShow in the UK, live from the BT Digital Music Awards in London to more than 1 million viewers around the world. The visionaries behind thePLUS are industry veterans and PodShow founders, former-MTV VJ Adam Curry and music writer-producer Ron Bloom.

“It’s fascinating when history repeats itself, especially with the same person as the standard bearer. Adam Curry is once again out in front of a media revolution, not just developing video content for broadband platforms, but introducing to the world a completely new programming vision, just as he did in the earliest days of MTV,” said Jack Myers, entertainment industry analyst and editor of mediaVillage.com. “Advertisers, agencies, networks, online publishers and content producers should take a look at PodShow and thePlustv.com to see the future of broadband video and to understand new media industry business models.”

thePLUS is powered by PodShow’s new mediaPLUS scheduling system which dynamically assembles pre-produced and on-location “Entertainment Modules” into what PodShow believes is the first dynamically generated, live entertainment channel. The launch of thePLUS generated more than 1,000,000 views in the first 72 hours, with average simultaneous viewing time reaching 25 minutes during the peak of programming. Management estimates that the viewership for BackStage Pass exceeded the televised broadcast of the Digital Music Awards by over 200 percent.

“The Internet has given us a new platform for distribution, but we have yet to develop new entertainment formats that truly take advantage of the platform,” said Adam Curry, co-founder of PodShow and one of the most popular VJ’s in MTV history, who quit MTV in 1994 to form his first internet company with PodShow co-founder Ron Bloom. “PodShowTV and thePLUS are helping us create new formats that are the foundation of a true social entertainment network. We are taking what we learned from television, music and the net and creating new entertainment formats that can be enjoyed on your computer, television, or downloaded to virtually any device.”

The successful launch of thePLUS comes on the heels of PodShow’s emergence as a force in online entertainment, skyrocketing to comScore top 30 sites in both multimedia and music, and further demonstrates PodShow’s position as a revolutionary force in online entertainment, dramatically changing how online media is created and consumed.
“thePLUS combines television-quality production, dynamic programming, unique formats and the social connectivity to generate a consistent entertainment experience which keeps viewers connected,” said Ron Bloom, co-founder of PodShow. “The ability for millions of users to simultaneously watch dynamic round-the-clock entertainment and contribute directly to the programming of the channel is just the tip of the iceberg of what viewers can come to expect from the new PodShow network.”

About thePLUS
thePLUS features multiple Entertainment Modules (EMs), which are independent content packages that can be streamed as a channel or made independently available for download. Each EM is scheduled through PodShow’s unique MediaPLUS Software which can break down an entire day of programming into minute-by-minute segments. The software automatically generates overlays and promo inserts and can cut to live interviews from any connected location on the planet. Top features on thePLUS are packaged into channels for free download to any connected device.

About Curry and Bloom
Curry and Bloom have a towering and auspicious track-record of being at the forefront of significant trends that shake up the entertainment industry, taking their first company, Think New Ideas, public in 1996, growing it to an international Web media company prior to selling it in 1999. The pair reunited in 2005 to form PodShow, which has grown from a podcast directory to become a new media powerhouse that last month alone delivered over 1,200,000 hours of episodic entertainment to computers, televisions, radios, iPods, cellular phones and other devices.

Curry Concludes, “I can already hear the chanting… ‘I want my PodShowTV!’”
