Fox Interactive Media Offers Simpsons Preview

LOS ANGELES, September 8: Several Fox Interactive Media
sites, including MySpace.com and FOX.com, are offering up the first 7 minutes
of the first episode of The Simpsons’ 18th
season, in advance of its television launch this weekend.

Through a campaign sponsored by Burger King, the preview
launched today on MySpace.com, FOX.com and IGN TV. Further, FIM will also offer
fans exclusive footage of an episode in the making. Other FIM sites are also
part of the campaign, with AskMen.com becoming "AskHomer" for the day
and profiling Homer as the site's Man of the Week; FoxSports.com on MSN
presenting Homer's week one NFL picks; a Simpsons-style graphic takeover of the homepage on Rotten Tomatoes, and more.
The promotion will culminate with The Simpsons’ season premiere on Sunday, September 10.

"This sneak peek at The Simpsons' 18th season is a huge bonus for dedicated
fans," said Peter Liguori, the president of entertainment for FOX.
"Being able to preview the first episode of the new season will surely
whet viewers' appetite for the premiere on Sunday."

"We're thrilled to be able to offer an exclusive first
look at The Simpsons to our core
audience of 18-34 year olds, who have embraced this show as one of the most
popular TV programs of our time," added Ross Levinsohn, the president of
Fox Interactive Media. "We are seeing an increasing demand for video
content across FIM sites, and we are focused on delivering that content in a
variety of ways—blending established media and user-generated content in
a meaningful way."
