Couch Trip: BitGravity Broadcasts "Tom Green's House Tonight!" Live to Internet Viewers; Show Simulcast on TV

HOLLYWOOD, CA--(Marketwire - June 10, 2008) - OnHollywood 2008 -- BitGravity, Inc., the pioneer in Content Delivery Networks (CDN) for interactive broadcasting, today announced that outrageous comedian and not-so-secret technophile Tom Green has selected BitGravity LiveBroadcast™ to deliver content for his live Internet-based television channel and talk show. The channel features "Tom Green's House Tonight!" (www.tomgreen.com) with celebrity guests including Jimmy Kimmel, Val Kilmer, Andy Dick, Brooke Shields, Andrew Dice Clay, Bob Odenkirk, and Kathy Griffin. The live streaming capabilities convinced broadcast network executives to simulcast Green's Internet show on television.

BG LiveBroadcast is the first cost-effective, carrier-grade, live broadcasting solution enabling content creators to broadcast live over the Internet to massive audiences in a high-quality, highly reliable experience that rivals traditional television. Green selected BG LiveBroadcast because his show requires an instant-on, live streaming solution that could be quickly and easily deployed while enabling him to cost-effectively create his own web TV channel. Green created his website more than a decade ago and has been on the prowl ever since for innovative technology to further enhance his viewers' online experiences and expand with his ever-growing global fan base.

"Because we were not bound by FCC regulations or television executives, we had the opportunity to create a cutting-edge, one hour talk show that would break the traditional mold and enable us to go one-on-one with Hollywood. We scoured the market for the latest, coolest live streaming solutions to upgrade our site and BitGravity won hands down," said Tom Green. "By enhancing our site and providing our viewers with a highly immersive and interactive experience, we have made the leap from the Internet to syndication on TV and continue to expand the most outrageous nightly show possible."

BG LiveBroadcast is a flash-based streaming service that has removed the need for expensive hardware and proprietary software, as well as any downloaded media player to view live content. BG LiveBroadcast has driven the cost of the system down to less than half the cost of current installations.

"Tom Green has consistently challenged the status quo. 'Tom Green's House Tonight!' going live is another bold move that underscores the power of the Internet to rapidly become the single most powerful network for delivering video content and to redefine business models," said Perry Wu, CEO and co-founder of BitGravity. "We are impressed by Tom's foresight to launch his program from the Internet and are excited to be part of his milestone effort. We are confident that other artists will discover new ways to extend their audience reach and ultimately their brands, whether new or existing."
