Wi-Fi TV Teams With Poker TV Network to Offer Live and On-Demand Gaming Content

Wi-Fi TV Inc. (OTC: WTVN), which streamed the first full-length movie on the Internet in 1995 and in 2005 became a pioneer in Internet TV, announced today that it has formed a strategic content alliance with Poker TV Network Inc. to offer Poker related live and on-demand content at www.Wi-FiTV.com. Wi-Fi TV also announced it has added Gaming and Poker categories to its live and interactive TV web site.

"Poker TV Network offers live and on-demand Poker related content from around the world, and we are delighted to be adding Poker TV today as Wi-Fi TV Channel 65. Poker TV is our Channel of the Week, and can be found on our home page and the category pages for Las Vegas, Gaming and Poker. Soon we will be adding on-demand content produced by the Poker TV Network," said Alex Kanakaris, Chairman, Wi-Fi TV Inc.

"Poker TV Network.com is pleased to bring our exclusive programming to the global content platform offered by Wi-Fi TV. We look forward to working with Wi-Fi TV to expand our audience and the reach of our sponsors," said Eric Rosenberg, president of Poker TV Network Inc.

Wi-Fi TV Inc.'s distribution platform is called InterSat(TM) because it utilizes both satellite and Internet delivery technologies in tandem to offer a global delivery platform compatible and accessible to the widest possible number of TV stations, radio stations and content producers.

Wi-Fi TV InterSat(TM), like satellite radio, offers stations the opportunity to reach a large geographic audience and to do so without the licensing associated with traditional TV and radio. Wi-Fi TV InterSat(TM) delivery also offers a number of interactive features not possible with traditional TV and radio.

The Wi-Fi TV InterSat(TM) system was successfully implemented by Wi-Fi TV in a Beta format for two live events: New Year's Eve from Times Square and the Tarver-Jones 3 pre-fight weigh in. In each case live coverage from cameras on the scene were uploaded to a satellite, retrieved from the satellite at the location of Wi-Fi TV Internet servers, encoded on the fly, and streamed by Wi-Fi TV both live and archived to a global audience. In the case of the New Year's Eve webcast, a live Wi-Fi TV chat feature included comments from viewers in such countries as China, Russia and the United States.
