FORT WORTH, Texas, May 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- UATV, the television- programming arm of Urban Television Network Corporation, (BULLETIN BOARD: URBT) announced a national campaign to promote the "Happiest Celebration On Earth" at Walt Disney World Resort marking 50 years of Disney theme parks.

The promotion will air daily now through June 2, 2005 directing viewers to uatvn.com for a chance to win a Walt Disney World vacation package.

"UATV is focused on providing our urban audience with positive family TV entertainment so we worked very hard to put together this promotional opportunity with Walt Disney World. We felt that Disney's appeal to a family audience would resonate with our viewers," said Sandra Pate, Executive Vice President Programming for UATV. "The urban market, African Americans and Hispanics love Disney."

The 18-month celebration at the Walt Disney World Resort officially kicked off May 5, 2005 with the biggest four-park premiere of blockbuster attractions and shows in Walt Disney World history including: "Cinderellabration," an enchanting musical spectacular debuting in the Magic Kingdom direct from Tokyo Disneyland, Soarin' a hang-gliding journey over the magnificent landscapes of California open at Epcot and imported from Disney's California Adventure in Anaheim and "Lights, Motors, Action!

UATV is also providing opportunities for its programmers and affiliates to participate with large Fortune 500 companies in promotions and other activities.

"We are going to be a very focused company as we move forward with our new look and outlook ... focused on bringing value to our program suppliers, our affiliates and our Fortune 500 partners," said Jacob Miles, Chief Executive Officer for Urban Television Network Corporation.
