POPULUSTV.COM SIGNS DEAL WITH CLASSIC REEL ENTERTAINMENT TO OFFER HIGH-SPEED INTERNET MOVIE RENTALS

Washougal, WA (PRWEB) May 9, 2003 -- PopulusTV.com will offer pay-per-view movie rentals over their high-speed media network. PopulusTV has secured the distribution rights to broadcast almost nine thousand-movie titles with Classic Reel Entertainment and will begin rolling out the service to customers in North America over the next couple of months. The on-demand pay-per-view movie rentals will join the extensive category of free programming already offered by PopulusTV on their web site www.populustv.com.

Using the latest technology in digital media distribution and management, PopulusTV has developed a proprietary on demand system that allows viewers access to a multitude of programs ranging from sporting events to the arts. Co-founder Rick Young, President of Programming, and co-host of the nationally syndicated TV show Northwest Hunter found it easy to offer hunting/fishing shows to the Outdoor/Sports channel, which has become a very popular channel. PopulusTV viewers of the free TV show content can choose to watch a dedicated channel or select from a list of specific episodes. With a click of the button, customers can immediately watch television shows and full-length movies that in the past took hours to down load. Now viewers can achieve immediate satisfaction through streaming video without filling up their personal computers hard drive.

According to Sam Potter, co-founder of PopulusTV, President of Technology, The best feature of PopulusTV is that the basic programming is free and there are no revolving charges or lengthy registration procedures required to view it. It is easy to use; a viewer just selects a channel or a specific episode of their favorite show and can begin watching. Add the ability to rent a movie over the Internet saving a trip to the video store and those annoying late fees just make sense especially when there will be a selection of hundreds and even thousands of titles to choose from. Once the general public gets a taste of the ease, convenience, and selection, it will be hard to go back to the old way of renting movies."

To meet the bandwidth and delivery demands, PopulusTV will use cutting edge Internet video streaming technology. The multi-million dollar digital network we use to deliver our content has been specifically design for streaming media. With companies like Dell, Microsoft, and Cisco participating in the network architecture we feel confident that we are building for the future. PopulusTVs ability to provide consistent uninterrupted services will certainly benefit our viewers and keep them happy." Said Mr. Potter.

PopulusTV brings a unique blend of traditional programming mixed with technology to open the door for a host of filmmakers to showcase their work. So often many great films fall through the crack due to a lack of distribution channels. Our viewers will have instant access to view top programming in the country.
