NPOWR Digital Media Inks Promotional Content Deals with Major Hollywood Studios; Broadband Entertainment Network to Include 10,000+ Titles at Q1 2006 Launch

Business Wire, Dec 5, 2005

LOS ANGELES -- NPOWR Digital Media Inc. has finalized a series of promotional and marketing content deals with several major Hollywood studios. On the heels of these signings, as well as others expected to soon follow, the company has announced a Q1 2006 launch of stimTVcinema(TM), the second channel on the stimTV(TM) Network. The company recently launched stimTVmusic(TM) this past October.

The stimTV(TM) Network is a broadband television network designed to give viewers the ability to tap into the world's vast media content like never before. Such content can include music or the feature films and home video catalogs of their favorite studios. Built upon America's passion for channel surfing, the stimTV(TM) Network initially streams a random flow of seven-second film clips consisting of everything from movie trailers and celebrity interviews to director commentary and behind-the-scenes footage. Viewers can opt in to anonymously personalize their search, while progressing to the next level.

Featuring thousands of promotional clips from the studios' extensive catalogs of movie favorites and new releases, as well as independent and foreign films, stimTVcinema(TM) will incorporate NPOWR's patented, state-of-the-art technology--a unique interface designed to be both a one-of-a-kind entertainment experience, as well as the ultimate promotional tool.

"It's exciting to see Hollywood embrace broadband internet modalities that increase audiences and media industry sales," said Bob Whitmore, NPOWR Co-Founder and CEO. "Studio heavyweights like 20th Century Fox, Paramount and Buena Vista Home Entertainment have come onboard early to discover how we cost-effectively reach new audiences that otherwise might not have such easy access to so many terrific titles."

The company recently launched their first channel - stimTVmusic(TM). stimTVmusic(TM) features an extensive collection of promotional independent music clips and incorporates the same powerful patented software. Over the coming year, NPOWR plans to roll out a multi-tiered launch of the stimTV(TM) Network consisting of several more key channels.

"While all stimTV(TM) channels will be themed around particular subjects, they will also incorporate relevant clips from the other channels to create a rich, well-rounded viewer experience. For example, stimTVcinema(TM) may also feature music clips that will appeal to the college-aged Indie fan," commented Roland Perkins, NPOWR's Chairman.
