WHAT:       Buzztime Entertainment Inc. announced the company was
            named as one of the four finalists for the 2nd annual
            Bandies Awards, the broadband industry's premier awards,
            in the category of "Killer App." The Bandies Awards
            celebrate the creative evolution of the world's most
            important medium and each nominee reflects the leading
            role of major cable television networks in developing
            interactive programming.

            Buzztime Entertainment Inc. is nominated for developing
            an economic model that increases cable subscriber revenue

            Countdown(R) general trivia for free and may also preview
            five additional broadcasts such as Sports Trivia(R), Kids
            Only Trivia(TM) and TV Trivia that customers may subscribe
            to for a nominal monthly fee that is shared between the
            cable operator and Buzztime Entertainment.

            The BUZZTIME(TM) channel has already amassed a large
            following of trivia fans via the NTN Network of 3,500
            restaurants and sports bars, the Internet as well as
            mobile phones. Now providing content for the cable
            industry, Buzztime Entertainment designed the channel to
            appeal to every household family member, and can be
            distributed simultaneously to all subscribing cable
            systems, encouraging players to compete in real-time with
            families across the street or across the country.

            Based in Carlsbad, Calif., Buzztime Entertainment Inc.,
            with investment from Scientific-Atlanta Inc., produces
            BUZZTIME(TM), the interactive television trivia channel,
            and live sports predictions games such as QB1(R) Predict
            the Play(TM) football from its live interactive broadcast
            studio. Buzztime's partners include: Scientific-Atlanta,
            AT&T Interactive Television, Sun Java TV, Sprint PCS
            Wireless Web, Yahoo!, and the NTN Network.
