Music Plus Television Network, Inc.
(MusicPlusTV.com), the leading 24-hour online television
network specializing in under-the-radar music and
media, is pleased to announce licensing agreements
with internet television/video providers Microsoft
Windows Media Guide (www.windowsmedia.com), Akimbo
(www.akimbo.com), Tvext (www.tvext.tv) and Globe7
(www.globe7.com). Under the agreements, MusicPlusTV.com's
wide array of original entertainment television
programs will be made available for distribution
via the technologies of the respective providers.
The latest agreements come on the heels of MusicPlusTV's
seven figure opening of first round funding with
Kenai Investments LLC, and aim to develop MusicPlusTV's
access and visibility in accordance with the Company's
projections to reach 1 million viewers a month by
the beginning of 2007. Concurrently, WindowsMedia.com,
Akimbo, Tvext and Globe7 will have access to MusicPlusTV.com's
fresh, cutting-edge, music-entertainment content,
including clips from M+ favorites "Grab Tha Mic,""Rock
This," and "10 Deep."
"These new agreements are true partnerships," explains
Henry Goldman, Director of Business Development.
"By distributing our content, WindowsMedia.com,
Akimbo, Tvext and Globe7 all have access to our
lineup of cutting-edge, network-quality television
video. At the same time, MusicPlusTV.com will be
exposed to millions of new viewers, allowing us
to organically grow our audience and further develop
our brand."
"Since the decline of the 'M' in 'MTV', MusicPlusTV.com
is fashioning itself as the frontrunner in music
entertainment, especially in the emerging internet
era," said CEO and co-founder Marc Cubas. "The quality
of our in-house produced programs are fit for traditional
network syndication, but as these latest round of
agreements illustrate, we're capable of utilizing
a wide range of technologies in getting these shows
out to our viewers -- when, where and how they want
it."
Working with WindowsMedia.com, Akimbo, Tvest and
Globe7 means that millions of new viewers will have
access to content from MusicPlusTV.com. The WindowsMedia.com
portal boasts over 20 million hits a month. Globe7's
video-streaming soft phone application has been
downloaded over 22 million times, while Tvest's
downloadable proprietary software application, Text
Desktop TV, has been downloaded onto tens of thousands
of desktops. Akimbo, the world's first Internet
video-on-demand service for television, is available
on the brand new RCA Akimbo Player as well as through
the Online Spotlight area of Microsoft Windows Media
Center PCs. In the next few weeks Akimbo will also
be available to subscribers of the AT&T Homezone
home entertainment service.
The agreements have already begin to pay-off for
MusicPlusTV.com. According to Co-Founder and Creative
Director Dennis Tzeng, "Within hours of being featured
on WindowsMedia.com, MusicPlusTV.com website experienced
a direct boost in its viewership."
