Canoe.ca to Use iMedia's XML Feed to Supplement Current Resources With Entertainment Videos


SANTA MONICA, CA and TORONTO--(Marketwire - March 5, 2008) - iMedia International, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: IMED), a provider of digital entertainment content for the publishing industry, today announced that Canoe Inc. has licensed iMedia's video entertainment content and content management services. Canoe.ca is a leading local and national interactive media provider of news, entertainment and services for all of Canada. Canoe.ca attracts more than 8.8 million visitors per month to its network of sites, which includes Canoe.ca, top information verticals like Cnews, Slam!, Jam! and Lifewise, as well as the Sun Media newspaper sites.

The iMedia Hollywood Previews division supplies its video entertainment content, which includes over 2,500 videos, pages and exclusives, to Canoe.ca through an XML feed. The content includes red carpet and celebrity interviews, movie trailers, video game reviews, music videos and other entertainment-related video content. The content feed is managed by Canoe.ca and available through Canoe's video channel at http://videos.canoe.ca/.

"This content distribution model is a natural extension of our Hollywood Previews model where we host, manage and update a complete entertainment vertical solution for publishers," said Henry Williamson, Chief Executive Officer of iMedia. "Many organizations have built entertainment channels and need specific content to supplement their current data sources. Canoe.ca has opted to take our Hollywood Previews content feeds and manage them within their own environment. Our XML feed option gives publishers increased control via a wealth of high-quality content that can be managed and displayed in a manner they are comfortable with."

iMedia gives publishers the option to license a completely hosted entertainment channel or access to a proprietary content feed. Both solutions provide end-users with access to the latest information in the entertainment world, from exclusive previews of new movies to one-on-one interviews with celebrities. The content also provides publishers with premium, incremental ad inventory for their websites.

"iMedia's XML feeds make it easy for us to integrate high-quality video entertainment content with our other aggregated content," said Ray Ostor, Senior Product Manager for Video at Canoe.ca. "Every month, our network attracts millions of unique visitors looking for entertainment videos, so we anticipate a large demand for iMedia's content. iMedia offers a customizable solution that can be used to further promote the Canoe brand to our customers."
