Ahora LLC Engages Endavo to Launch Spanish Language Broadband TV

Endavo Media and Communications, Inc. (OTC BB: EDVO) announced today that it has entered into a Master Services Agreement with Ahora LLC to support the launch of several of Ahora's Spanish language broadband video service offerings.

Under the terms of the agreement, Endavo will provide digital content delivery and management services supporting the launch of "AhoraTV." AhoraTV will initially offer six channels of full screen, DVD-quality Spanish language programming to Microsoft Media Center PC and standard PC users. The Company plans to aggressively add new channels to the AhoraTV lineup throughout 2006 to become a leading provider of Spanish language programming from around the world. The AhoraTV platform is currently being tested and expected to launch in January 2006.

"We selected Endavo because they provided us with the tools to offer full screen, DVD-quality Spanish language video programs to broadband enabled users through their PC or Media Center PC," said Luigi De Angela, President of Ahora LLC. "Working closely with Endavo over the next few months, we expect to meet our overall goal of delivering more than 100 Spanish language channels over the AhoraTV platform by the end of 2006."

AhoraTV channels will be powered by Endavo's EnGage platform and represents the debut of this new broadband TV solution. Although the service interface will function on a standard web-enabled PC, one of the most important benefits of the EnGage solution for Ahora is that it seamlessly enables any Microsoft Media Center PC owner to easily access AhoraTV. A simple download of the 'plug-in' from the AhoraTV website will provide Media Center users with everything needed to easily navigate and view AhoraTV channels on their Media Center PC or other enabled devices. With Media Center Extender, a user can access content residing on a networked Media Center PC using the remote control to navigate the programs residing on the networked Media Center PC and view them on their television set. Microsoft recently reported that more than 4 million Media Center PCs have been sold in the U.S. and that Media Center PCs accounted for 43% of all desktop personal computers sold in the U.S. retail market.

"AhoraTV represents the first of many Spanish language service offerings that we plan to help launch in the coming year. Once the AhoraTV service is fully deployed and operational, we will be able to offer Spanish language content owners the option of establishing its own service with EnGage or simply becoming part of the established and branded AhoraTV service," stated Jorge Tomassello, VP of Latin Content for Endavo.

"Launching our first EnGage customer, and one with the potential of Ahora LLC, is an important milestone for Endavo," said Paul D Hamm, Endavo CEO. "As the AhoraTV service is promoted to the millions of broadband enabled users that have a thirst for on-demand Spanish language programs, Endavo and Ahora LLC will quickly gain a foothold and build a sustainable business in a very important niche market."

Ahora LLC also plans the launch of three web-based communities using Endavo's EnHance platform: Ahora Musica (music), Ahora Novelas (soap operas), and Ahora Noticias (news). Registered users will receive a steady flow of desired programming, delivered in DVD-quality to their PCs or other web-enabled devices.
