TVN Entertainment and AMC Entertainment Inc., in association with Showtime Event Television (SET) and Joe Hand Promotions, are proud to announce the first live broadcast of a heavyweight boxing event to AMC's digital Megaplex theatres utilizing TVN's revolutionary Digital Content Express service. The October 20th Tyson vs. Golota fight marks the second partnership this year between TVN and AMC to deliver a live event to AMC digital theatres in various locales across the country.

TVN Entertainment Corp., the leading digital distribution services company, will use its Digital Content Express technology to make the broadcast possible. This technology is able to take unique content, such as the Tyson vs. Golota fight, and deliver it to AMC theatres in a protected, efficient and revolutionary process, one that provides superior picture and sound quality upon screening. TVN will transmit the event live via satellite in cooperation with the event's closed circuit distributor Joe Hand Promotions and the National Cinema Network, Inc., a pioneer of cinema marketing whose Digital Theatre Delivery System (DTDS) provides the theatre operating infrastructure for event and other in-theatre programming.

"Once again, TVN is proud to assist content producers and AMC Entertainment with the ability to offer the theatre going public an opportunity to experience the new digital entertainment frontier," said Steve Rockabrand, senior vice president, New Programming Development and Distribution, TVN Entertainment.

"AMC is pleased to link our megaplex digital projection systems with TVN's enabling capability to showcase heavyweight boxing. Live events can now be offered on the big screen in AMC's deluxe auditoriums with the highest level of picture and sound quality," said Peter Brown, chairman and chief executive officer, AMC Entertainment, Inc. "TVN's Digital Content Express technology is a crucial component of our plan to offer consumers a wide choice of out-of-home entertainment options. Based on the success of our live in-theatre broadcast of the Rolling Rock Town Fair with TVN this summer, we expect this event will make our theatres known as the new venue of choice for the broadcasting of high-profile events."

The event features former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson (48-3, 1NC, 42 KOs) squaring off against contender Andrew Golota (36-4, 29 KOs) in Auburn Hills, Michigan.
