			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Company Rolls Out the First of a Series of Targeted Entertainment Channels</em></p>
<p>SAN FRANCISCO, October 7, 2008—Leading broadband entertainment network MEVIO (<a title="Mevio.com" href="http://www.MEVIO.com">http://www.MEVIO.com</a>), today announced the launch of <strong>TeXtraTV</strong>, a live hosted technology entertainment channel that combines the best technology shows, reviews and video clips with some of the top celebrity hosts in technology. See <strong>TeXtraTV</strong> in action on the home page of MEVIO (<a title="Mevio.com" href="http://www.MEVIO.com">http://www.MEVIO.com</a>). TeXtraTV is hosted by former MTV superstar and MEVIO co-founder Adam Curry and features other internet and traditional media tech personalities such as columnist and author, John C. Dvorak;  former MarketWatch reporter, Bambi Francisco; co-founder of Girls in Tech, Adriana F. Gascoigne and GeekBrief.TV host, Cali Lewis. MEVIO management expects to announce the addition of additional programming from top tech brands in the coming weeks.</p>
<p><strong>TeXtraTV</strong> is the first of several, premium online channels MEVIO will unveil in the coming weeks. According to Ron Bloom, co-founder and chief executive officer of MEVIO, “These days technology isn’t just a piece of our lives; it’s integrated into every aspect of our lives. Yet there is no real place to find technology programming that is provocative, entertaining and informative.  In the same way that MTV created a new category of entertainment with music video, we are doing it with technology. I call it techertainment.”</p>
<p><strong>TeXtraTV</strong> is hosted by former MTV celebrity and MEVIO co-founder, Adam Curry, with a smart lineup of top internet technology shows and video clips, interspersed with personalities who provide both insight and attitude. “We  want to reach and engage a broader audience, and help them not only discover cool content but also introduce them to evocative personalities that bring it all alive,” enthuses Curry, co-founder of MEVIO. “It’s time for technology to take a front-row seat in your entertainment lineup, and TeXtra is the place where you’ll find it.”</p>
<p>With a consistent top 20 ranking in Multimedia and Music,* MEVIO has experienced explosive growth, measured by unique monthly visitors, page views, video streams and registrations, with over 9 million unique visitors last month.** Visitors can sit back and enjoy MEVIO’s channels, featuring top programming brought to you by people you can relate to, create their own channels and share channels and shows with friends. Channels are dynamic and update automatically as fresh content becomes available. The TeXtraTV channel is produced by MEVIO and includes fresh content daily plus hosted segments produced by MEVIO. Management is planning on launching more hosted channels in the near future.</p>
<p>In response to the overwhelming reception of TeXtraTV, MEVIO is planning on launching a full-scale technology network, combining TeXtra’s rich video and audio programming with a headline-driven editorial content. Shows include John Dvorak’s Tech 5 Report, GeekBrief.TV, Games Weasel, Lab Rats and Root Access, as well as freshly-produced content from MEVIO producers in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York and London. “This is the first step in what we believe is a complete re-definition of entertainment,” continued Bloom. “We know that a much broader audience is hungry for compelling tech content, and we are just beginning to create the type of programming that excites and engages. Look for exciting developments as we roll out the entire TeXtra Network, with more networks to come.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>MEVIO to Offer Advertisers “Brand-Safe” Programming with<br />
Audiences that Rival Broadcast Television</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>SAN FRANCISCO, July 9, 2008</strong> — MEVIO today announced that it has secured $15 million in a Series C funding round led by Crosslink Capital and including Kleiner Perkins Caufield &amp; Byers, Sequoia Capital, Sherpalo Ventures and DAG Ventures. MEVIO will use the investment to continue expansion of its broadband entertainment offering and to launch new vertical entertainment networks that offer advertisers a “brand-safe” platform to reach audiences on the scale and frequency offered by traditional broadcast networks.</p>
<p>With a top 20 comScore ranking in both music (May, #10) and Multimedia (May, #16), MEVIO has had an explosive year of growth, witnessing dramatic increases in unique monthly visitors, page views, video streams and registration. In the last six months alone, MEVIO launched a new online entertainment network, doubled the amount of media it delivers, re-branded the company (formerly PodShow) and introduced a growing lineup of top shows that generate over 50 million views per month, strictly from MEVIO’s wholly-owned properties and without the benefit of integration of an ad network. With this funding round, MEVIO expects accelerate its growth with particular focus on offering premium brands the opportunity to reach and engage online audiences safely and effectively.</p>
<p>“The first wave of online video was a total failure for brand advertisers,” said Ron Bloom, co-founder and chief executive officer, MEVIO. “In order to attract the billions of dollars of brand advertising spending that is still dedicated to television programming, online companies will have to provide audience and frequency at a scale to compete with traditional broadcast, and build it around brand-safe content that is relevant and entertaining. MEVIO is building that network.”</p>
<p>In May of 2008, the company attracted over 9 million unique monthly visitors, up over 800 percent in the last twelve months. For the second quarter of 2008, MEVIO estimates page-views to exceed 140 million, up over 1,800 percent quarter over quarter. With the launch of its vertical entertainment networks, the company is exploring syndication opportunities that management believes will dramatically enhance MEVIO’s already impressive reach.</p>
<p>“From distribution and licensing, to format and delivery, to basic underlying business models, the entertainment industry is continuing to undergo a dramatic shift as the Web evolves,” said Jim Feuille, Crosslink Capital. “MEVIO’s rapid growth, both in audience and programming, is testament to its focus on delivering a vision for entertainment that cannot be found elsewhere on the Web. We look forward to helping MEVIO continue to execute on this vision.”</p>
<p>“We have always focused on high-quality, episodic content and have always questioned the relevance of single-clip video upload models for brands,” said Adam Curry, co-founder and president of MEVIO.  “MEVIO is building a full-scale entertainment network that incorporates all of the positive elements of traditional media along with the benefits of scale and insight offered by the Internet.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>Thousands of Original Episodic Shows and Powerful Personalized Channels Give Users Choice and Voice, and Give Advertisers a Brand-Safe Network that Rivals the Reach of Television with the Efficiencies of the Internet</em> </strong></p>
<p><strong>SAN FRANCISCO, April 23, 2008</strong> —  PodShow, which exploded in 2007 as the third fastest growing site on the Internet* is continuing its trajectory with the launch of a new site and new name. Launching today, <strong>MEVIO.com</strong><a href="http://www.videnov.com/"><img src="http://www.videnov.com/images/mebeli.jpg" alt="furniture Videnov" /></a> is the culmination of PodShow&#8217;s transition to a complete broadband entertainment network for the social Web.  MEVIO gives users direct access to an incredible collection of shows, music and video as well as a powerful set of tools for personalizing their content into channels, sharing them with friends, putting on their favorite blogs or sites and even downloading to their favorite portable player. MEVIO also provides advertisers with a brand-safe platform that combines the reach, frequency and audience visibility of television with the scalability, interaction and data offered by the Web.</p>
<p>Conceived on the premise that audiences would continue to move away from TV and begin to move beyond single-clip video Web sites, MEVIO has evolved from PodShow&#8217;s ground-breaking podcast and music networks, which primarily focused on downloaded entertainment. In 2007 PodShow began its move to the Web by producing and distributing a broad range of episodic video and audio shows, attracting an impressive array of brand advertisers along the way and causing an explosion in growth that has resulted in the company reaching comScore&#8217;s Top 20 Sites in both Music (#10) and Multimedia (#16) in March 2008. Today MEVIO provides its users with access to over 1,000,000 hours of entertainment that can be played online, downloaded, or combined into channels.  MEVIO expects to double its roster of top-programming in the next 90 days.</p>
<p>&quot;We have never believed in user-generated content as a business, or even as a sustainable entertainment offering,&quot; said Ron Bloom, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, MEVIO. &quot;We have focused on developing and delivering episodic content that engages the audience, building a feature-rich network for our users to personalize their programming and share with others &#8212; and it is working. Over the last six months, our network has exploded and we are seeing larger audiences, spending more time, viewing more content and returning more often.&quot;</p>
<p>Already generating nearly 8 million unique visits a month and growing, MEVIO hosts more than 15,000 shows within the new platform. MEVIO also produces its own programming and plans to add 600 shows and produce a total of 50 original shows by the end of 2008. The top shows on MEVIO generate millions of views every month, with audiences that are beginning to compete with hit cable and television series.</p>
<p>&quot;Our combination of premier, high quality content with a growing and return audience gives brand advertisers the kind of online viewer engagement that they are hard-pressed to find anywhere else on the Web,&quot; said Adam Curry, co-founder and President of MEVIO. &quot;We have an incredible talent pool of producers and developers who understand what it means to build and engage an audience, and we are just beginning to roll out even more entertainment options.&quot;</p>
<p>Brand advertisers are using MEVIO to provide a platform to create deeper engagement over longer periods of time. The network has provided campaigns for a broad range of world-class brands, and provides more advertising solutions than virtually any other network, including pre-rolls, embedded ads, page takeovers, host-endorsements, product placement, custom production and special promotions. Along with the MEVIO launch, the company will be rolling out vertical networks that target specific demographics or entertainment genres.</p>
<p>New features available now at MEVIO include:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Feb 12 &#8212; </em>PodShow, the leading and fastest growing broadband entertainment network today announced that it has achieved major growth milestones in 2007, according to two of the top independent measurement services <a title="comScore" href="http://www.comscore.com/" target="_blank">comScore</a> and <a title="Compete.com" href="http://compete.com/" target="_blank">Compete.com</a>, with trends continuing into 2008. Since the launch of its new entertainment network platform in April 2007, PodShow has jumped from virtually no listing to the top 30 performers in comScore&#8217;s Multimedia and Music categories, and is continuing to grow in January 2008. In an even more dramatic indicator, Compete.com just released data that listed PodShow third in its Top Moving Sites in 2007, with a phenomenal growth rate of nearly 30,000 percent.</p>
<p>&#8220;The massive explosion of single-click, disposable content is just the first crack in the foundation of traditional media networks. We are now seeing audiences coming together around new forms and formats of episodic content,&#8221; said Ron Bloom, CEO and Co-Founder of PodShow. &#8220;As audiences continue to grow, it means we will be able to compete head-to-head with the biggest media companies in the world in terms of audience reach, content relevance and episodic frequency. We are building a network that provides both a great entertainment experience and a trusted platform for advertisers to engage.&#8221;</p>
<p>PodShow is one of the only sites to experience growth in multiple comScore categories including Entertainment Multimedia and Entertainment Music as exemplified in its January 2008 Media Metrix rankings. Since April 2007, in the Entertainment Multimedia category, PodShow jumped from 59 to 23, ranking ahead of sites such as Heavy Networks, Veoh.com, ManiaTV.com, Ripe Digital Entertainment and Revver. In the Entertainment Music category, PodShow now holds the number 14 position, up from 44 in April 2007, and ahead of Pandora, Napster, Billboard.com and Last.fm Ltd.</p>
<p>This growth is further confirmed by the annual data reported by Web analytics firm, Compete.com, which reported that PodShow was among the top three fastest growing sites on the Web within the time period spanning from December 2006 to December 2007, with a traffic increasing 29,144 percent.</p>
<p>&#8220;PodShow has approached broadband entertainment with the ambitious goal of building a media network that bridges the gap between mainstream media and single-click video sites,&#8221; said, Adam Curry, President and Co-Founder of PodShow. &#8220;By focusing on building audiences instead of visitors, we effectively create media properties that can be successful on virtually any network.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Hit Shows from Leading Broadband Entertainment Network Now Available<br />
‘On-The-Go’ through Microsoft’s restocked and reinvented online store</strong></em></p>
<p>SAN FRANCISCO — November 13, 2007— PodShow, the leading broadband entertainment network, which allows its users to play, collect, share and create millions of hours of episodic programming, videos and music, today announced that its top shows in music, comedy, fashion, and tech gadgets will be included in Microsoft’s newest version of Zune Marketplace, which is being relaunched today along with new Zune media players. </p>
<p>“The new media revolution puts a premium on easy access to compelling content.  Helping people easily find programming on all platforms &#8212; when and where they want &#8212; is important to create a dynamic user experience and speaks directly to the flexibility of our content delivery model,” said Ron Bloom, CEO and co-founder of PodShow. “We’re excited to have the best of PodShow’s content readily available for the new Zune players because this partnership marks a significant step forward in broadening the distribution of new media beyond the PC and television and into the pockets of consumers wherever they may be.”</p>
<p>Beginning today, Zune owners will gain access to more than 20 episodic video and audio shows across 10 diverse categories from PodShow. Some of PodShow’s leading technology-focused programming is featured, such as <a href="http://geekbrief.podshow.com/">Geek Brief</a>, <a href="http://tech5.podshow.com/">Tech5</a>, and <a href="http://textra.podshow.com/">TeXtra</a>; popular comedy shows like <a href="http://internationalsextherapist.podshow.com/">Dr. Cockney</a> and <a href="http://losttapes.podshow.com">The Lost Tapes</a>; and adult talk like <a href="http://dawnanddrew.podshow.com/"> The Dawn and Drew Show</a>. By early 2008, PodShow programming will expand to more than 40 shows in over 20 categories.</p>
<p>The availability of PodShow’s programming in Zune Marketplace further extends the reach of its content to various mobile devices, and the broadband entertainment network will continue to join forces with leading technology platform providers like Microsoft to ensure that consumers have immediate access to their favorite PodShow programs.  </p>
<p>“The Zune is unlike other portable media players in that it has the ability to share content through a wireless connection.” Part of PodShow’s mission is to ‘share’ entertaining, cutting-edge episodic content. That is something we found to be very complementary to the type of user experience that Microsoft is trying to propagate with the Zune platform,” said Rob Greenlee, Podcast Programming and Marketing Lead for Microsoft Zune. “Portable digital content is growing rapidly in popularity and, with the launch of the new Zune player, we want to offer compelling content from leading content providers like PodShow that share our progressive approach to entertainment access.”</p>
<p>With content available on the Internet and televisions, this latest portable option makes it that much easier to enjoy PodShow content on a device that comfortably fits in a pocket.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>blinkx to make the best new audio, video, series, and music fully searchable on<br />
 PodShow’s premiere episodic entertainment network</em></p>
<p>San Francisco, Calif. – Oct 31, 2007 &#8211; blinkx, the world’s largest video search engine, today announced that it will power video search for PodShow, the world’s #1 broadband entertainment network and leading distributor of independently produced episodic content.  The partnership combines PodShow’s advanced episodic indexing with blinkx’s comprehensive video search engine that takes entertainment search to the next level that PodShow CEO and co-founder, Ron Bloom calls “Searchertainment.”</p>
<p>“Searching for entertainment should be as entertaining as the entertainment itself,” Bloom said. “By combining PodShow’s deep trove of episodic content with blinkx’s video search engine, we will enable PodShow’s audience to discover and share the best in new media from PodShow and across the net.”</p>
<p>“Searchertainment” is scheduled to launch on the PodShow Network with a complete feature-rich suite of all new functionality in the first quarter of 2008. Under the terms of the agreement, blinkx will generate revenue by delivering software and services to enhance search and discovery on the PodShow network.</p>

With more than 220 partners and 18 million hours of indexed video and audio content, including favorite TV moments, news clips, short documentaries, music videos, video blogs and more, blinkx uses advanced speech recognition technology to deliver results that are more accurate and reliable than standard metadata-based keyword searches.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em> Launch highlights PodShow Emergence as new media network as Industry leader predicts PodShow will “transform the Internet like MTV transformed cable television”</em><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
SAN FRANCISCO and LONDON — October 18, 2007 </strong>— 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.  </p>
<p>“It&#8217;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.”</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>“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.”</p>
<p>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.<br />
“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.”<br />
<strong><br />
About thePLUS</strong><br />
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. </p>
<p><strong>About Curry and Bloom</strong><br />
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.  </p>
<p>Curry Concludes, “I can already hear the chanting… ‘I want my PodShowTV!’”</p>
