Adrenaline Nation Entertainment Signs Firestone Communications For Satellite Uplink Services

Satellite Expands Reach to a Broad Range of U.S. Cable and Satellite Operators and Television Stations, Increasing Revenue and Subscriber Base

Adrenaline Nation Entertainment, Inc. , which produces Adrenaline Nation TV, the leading channel for cutting edge independent music TV, innovative short films, motor sports, and adrenaline sports for the highly coveted 18-49 demographic, today announced that it has signed an agreement with Firestone Communications Inc. (FCI) to make programming broadly available to U.S. cable operators and television stations via FCI's uplink to the Intelsat Americas 13 (IA-13) satellite.

"The availability of our programming via satellite will skyrocket our current reach to a much larger audience, enabling cable, satellite operators and TV stations across the U.S. and its territories to preview and carry our channel," said Keith Dressel, ceo of Adrenaline Nation Entertainment, Inc. "This will greatly enhance our ability to generate additional revenues from advertising."
The agreement with FCI increases Adrenaline Nation TV's reach which is already available to 20 million households via cable and viewed by approximately four million Internet subscribers daily. The IA-13 puts Adrenaline Nation's channel on a popular satellite for cable companies which already carries such nationally distributed channels as A&E, ¡SORPRESA!, The Soundtrack Channel, The Documentary Channel and The History Channel.

"Adrenaline Nation Entertainment is a great addition to our current roster of channels," said Leonard Firestone, CEO of Firestone Communications. "We believe that our technologies are well suited for Adrenaline Nation in its goal to reach cable distributors and satellite distributors."

With its 24/7 network origination facility, Firestone provides its clients with access to cable and satellite distributors who can make their channels available to their audiences. Origination is one of Firestone's core services, providing master control and delivery of video programming using an optimal combination of high-performance fiber optic, satellite, Internet protocol, and conventional delivery methods to reach cable and satellite audiences.

"We chose Firestone Communications after extensive evaluation because of its successful track record in launching and maintaining networks and because it offers a combination of cutting-edge facilities, the right technology and deep management experience," Mr. Dressel said.

The Firestone Communications Operations Center is a fully automated digital playback and uplink and satellite services facility. The C-Band digital satellite uplink transmits multiple signals and multiple stereo audio channels in a PowerVue Plus format. Clients include America One, The Documentary Channel, and the Soundtrack Channel. Additionally, Firestone provides clients access to SeaChange Media Clusters, Sundance FastBreak Automation, VCI STARS II+ Traffic System and world wide connectivity via the facility's fiber hop.
