Time Out New York on Demand Teams Up With Maven Networks for Launch of Internet Television Channel; New York City Comes Alive on the Internet Through Video Features, Reviews and Profiles

July 31, 2006

Time Out New York on Demand has launched its broadband video network www.timeoutnewyork.tv in conjunction with Maven Networks. Time Out New York On Demand is a robust consumer service with a series of more than 200 high quality video reviews and profiles of New York City’s best restaurants, nightlife, theatre, museums, shopping, spas, kids programs and much more. Timeoutnewyork.tv provides stunning visuals and need-to-know information that allows consumers to virtually “get to” these places before they even go to them. With new content being added weekly and covering all 5 boroughs, www.timeoutnewyork.tv is the premiere online destination for NY residents and visitors alike interested in information on the latest and greatest the city has to offer.

“Our mission is to provide our users with content that can be accessed whenever they want from wherever they are,” says Eric Levin, president and co-founder City on Demand, the creator of Time Out New York on Demand. “Thanks to Maven, we are now in the workplace, out in the suburbs, and available as an everyday resource to travelers and tourists who are planning trips to New York. We are thrilled to be able to reach these audiences and help make New York more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.”

Time Out New York On Demand’s broadband video network marks a new venture for TONY. “The Time Out New York brand is perfectly suited to multiple platforms, as demonstrated by our successful extension into video on demand, radio and now broadband. We’re looking forward to our continued expansion and expect many great things to come for Time Out,” said Alison Tocci, President and Group Publisher at Time Out New York.

“Time Out New York on Demand is a great asset to New York City. We are excited and hopeful for its expansion into broadband, which allows millions of people worldwide to see all of the amazing things this city has to offer,” said James Donofrio Senior Vice President, Sales and Partnerships for NYC Marketing.

With consumer demand for Internet TV skyrocketing, media and entertainment companies are constantly challenged by the costs and technical complexities associated with rapidly transferring large media libraries online, integrating with existing business systems and workflow processes, and creating compelling and engaging consumer experiences. Maven Network’s Maven Media System (MMS) enables media companies to quickly and easily design and launch professional broadband video channels that offer unrivaled consumer experiences to increase media consumption, and generate new and profitable revenue streams.

“With Maven’s platform, companies are finally able to use their wealth of video content to create new revenue streams and develop Internet TV channels that are professional, compelling and engaging,” said Hilmi Ozguc, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Maven Networks. “Working with TONY has been an exciting experience as we were able to watch them bring New York City to life in a way never before possible online. Visitors to timeoutnewyork.tv will be amazed at the breadth and quality of the content on the channel and the ease with which they are able to find relevant information.”
