A&E Television Networks, MobiTV Launch Mobile Video Channels

NEW YORK, July 23: A&E Television Networks (AETN) has
reached a deal to launch two made-for-mobile channels, A&E Mobile and The
History Channel Mobile, in the U.S. on mobile content provider MobiTV.

Available on the mobile channels will be acclaimed series
such as Dogfights and Modern
Marvels from The History Channel, and Dog
the Bounty Hunter and Criss Angel
Mindfreak from A&E Network.

The creation and distribution of A&E Mobile and The
History Channel Mobile to wireless video subscribers in the U.S. is part of
AETN's overall digital strategy to deliver its programs and services to viewers
on multiple platforms. This announcement marks the second agreement between
AETN and MobiTV for wireless distribution. In April 2006, the two companies
partnered to deliver The History Channel en espanol as part of the line-up on
MobiTV en Espanol, the first live Spanish-language mobile television service
offered in the U.S. In addition, AETN is offering broadband channels via MobiTV
Broadband Television for A&E, The History Channel, The Biography Channel,
Crime & Investigation Network, Military History Channel and History
International. Internationally, A&E and The History Channel Latin America
offer mobile services with MobiTV throughout the Latin American region.

"The mobile platform is an increasingly important
interactive screen that provides our consumers with access to our branded
programming wherever and whenever they want it, and we are pleased to partner
with MobiTV to offer A&E Mobile and The History Channel Mobile to
viewers," said Paul Jelinek, the senior VP of digital media at AETN.
"These mobile channels enable us to offer a new service to our existing
audience, and through cross promotion, to bring new viewers back to our linear
channels."
