Milestone Highlights Position as the On Demand Television Market Leader

Burbank, California – July 23, 2007 - TVN Entertainment Corp., the world’s leading television on-demand company, marked an important milestone by signing its 100th affiliate partner – Alaska’s largest broadband operator, GCI (NASDAQ:GNCMA.) The deal underscores TVN’s position as the largest provider of video on demand services and marks the first time consumers in Alaska will be able to enjoy the benefits of video on demand.

“Signing GCI, our 100th affiliate, demonstrates the value of TVN’s comprehensive package of on demand content and services, and punctuates the importance of the on demand category for all multi-channel video distributors,” said Jim Riley, executive vice president at TVN Entertainment. “For over seven years, TVN has consistently set the standard with the broadest selection of video on demand content, ever more sophisticated asset management tools, advanced encryption and innovative platform solutions – all of which support a dynamic and engaging on demand TV experience for viewers across North America.”

TVN utilizes its sophisticated asset management system, ADONISS 2, to package, distribute, and manage more than 8,000 hours of content from over 150 content owners, including all Hollywood studios.

“TVN has a proven track record of providing customized VOD solutions - and we have been pleased with their support and can-do approach as we formulate our launch strategy,” said Bob Ormberg, Vice President, Content & Product Management of GCI. “We have a diverse and demanding customer base, so it was critical that we had a VOD partner on whom we could rely for the technological, programming and marketing expertise required to support this exciting new product launch.”

Most recently TVN announced the launch of VOD Complete, the first end-to-end video on demand solution for small market systems that can be customized to meet specific market and system requirements. The offering is designed to reduce complexity, time, and cost in deploying a fully-equipped on-demand service.

Not only does TVN provide the industry-leading television on demand distribution and asset management platform, but they also develop creative new nationally distributed VOD networks.

TVN recently launched their eighth VOD network with BODVOD Networks called Saavn: an exclusive suite of on demand channels featuring unique Bollywood content from the top South Asian producers. Saavn will join the ranks of other exclusive TVN networks including: Kids Unlimited, Caught On Demand and The Karaoke Channel, TVN’s wildly successful network which now reaches over 17 million homes.
