MediaZone to Offer Free Exclusive LIVE Coverage of CCTV Chinese New Year's Gala.

Online Broadcaster Provides Unprecedented Global Distribution of Biggest Chinese Celebration

SAN CARLOS, Calif. -- Social TV pioneer MediaZone today announced continued momentum in its vision to broadcast premier content globally and revolutionize how people around the world interact with professional video programming. Through its exclusive LIVE online broadcast of the CCTV (China Central Television) Chinese New Year's Gala and Celebration from Beijing this weekend, MediaZone again demonstrates the power of Social TV to bring global audiences both the content they desire and the means to actively engage with that content. The broadcast will be available through MediaZone's shared-streaming platform on SocialTV.MediaZone.com and its ChinaPortal.com, plus other select distribution partners.

MediaZone's latest broadcast allows audiences worldwide to celebrate the Year of the Pig by providing overseas Chinese the opportunity to view and experience this momentous event, also known as the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, filled with dance, drama and song. Viewed by approximately 700 million each year on New Year's Eve, this gala provides a unique blend of patriotism and tradition and encapsulates the beauty and intrigue of this holiday celebration.

Building off the excitement of last year's festivities, for which thousands of spectators gathered in the streets while Chinese President Jiang Zemin and other recognized national leaders enjoyed from Tiananmen's balcony, this year's spectacle is sure to draw the same crowds and viewership.

This unprecedented global online coverage of the six-hour 2007 CCTV Chinese New Year's Gala and Celebration is available LIVE, free of charge on Saturday, February 17th starting at 8pm in Beijing (7am EST/ 4am PST), and will be repeated for continued viewing starting shortly after the end of the LIVE program. This and two additional channels will show archive footage from the 2002, 2004, 2005 & 2006 parades to wet the appetite for event coverage later this week.

"It is a tremendous opportunity to offer exclusive worldwide coverage of such a high caliber event," said Michelle Wu, CEO of MediaZone. "Our LIVE online broadcast of the 2007 CCTV Chinese New Year's Gala and Celebration reinforces MediaZone's leadership and continued effort in delivering premier international events to global audiences."
