NATPE Booth # 3264 ~ New Media Pavilion

San Francisco, CA - January 18, 2000 - ClickMovie.com, a world leader in Internet video-on-demand technology, today announced it will be at the National Association of Television Program Executives (NATPE) Annual Conference and Exhibition to acquire material from content providers to distribute via their industry unique Web site. The 37th annual NATPE, being held January 24-27, 2000 in New Orleans, will showcase the effect of the digital age and emerging technologies on the television industry. ClickMovie plans to take advantage of this opportunity and make content acquisition a priority.

"We know there are a lot of content providers out there simply itching to find an Internet distributor for their product, and we want them to know ClickMovie.com is the hands-down solution," said Scott Redmond, CEO of ClickMovie. "We offer many benefits for content providers, including profit sharing and control of content. We will be at NATPE aggressively pursuing all offers."

"We want content providers to know that we are the people they need to meet at NATPE," said Gregg Schoenborn, VP Business Development, who recently joined ClickMovie from Universal Pictures where he was VP Business Development. "We have the high-profile Web site to effectively distribute and market their content to the masses."

ClickMovie.com delivers full-screen, high-resolution quality straight from the Internet to the television. In addition to providing industry leading transmission speed and quality, ClickMovie's Tranz-CastTM technology also incorporates five layers of copy protection, including anti-piracy technologies. A Tranz-Cast movie automatically self-erases from the hard drive as it plays, preventing unauthorized copying.

"ClickMovie.com recognizes that content providers are the key ingredient in media-on-demand," says Tranz-Send COO Ted Hoff, formerly of Sega and Time Warner Interactive. "The studios are justifiably nervous that their investment in product may go down the drain. That is why we offer bulletproof copy-protection."
