Intra-Asia Entertainment Corporation Enters Digital Television Industry

Intra-Asia Entertainment (HK) Co., Ltd. Establishes Joint Venture in Hubei Province, Which Has Population of 63 Million and More Than 5.7 Million Cable Television Subscribers

MONTEREY PARK, Calif., July 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Intra-Asia Entertainment Corporation (BULLETIN BOARD: IRAE) ("the Company") today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Intra-Asia Entertainment (HK) Co., Ltd., will pursue equity investments and operating roles in the digital television industry in China.

Since its inception in May 2005, the Hong Kong subsidiary has invested 83 million Yuan (US$ 10 million) to establish a joint venture company (JVC) with Hubei Provincial (Chu Sky) Broadcasting and Television Network Co., Ltd. The joint venture is committed to the digital transformation of the cable television broadcasting in Hubei Province, which has a population of approximately 63 million and currently has a cable television subscriber base of over 5.7 million. Industry experts project that the number of cable television subscribers in the province will exceed 18 million by the year 2015.

Intra-Asia Entertainment (HK) will be responsible for all of the businesses previously operated by Hubei Provincial, including the transmission of digital cable television programs, the consolidation of programming, and development of the JVC.

Intra-Asia Entertainment (HK) will gradually expand into mobile terrestrial and satellite digital television as a complement to its digital cable television activities. At the present time, management is in the process of researching relevant industries and has entered into negotiations with a television broadcasting network operating Shandong Province (population = 96 million) and other provinces.

"Digitalization is an inevitable trend in global television broadcasting, and our subsidiary is developing cooperative relationships with provincial departments of broadcasting and television in several regions throughout China," stated Joseph Visconti, CEO of Intra-Asia Entertainment Corporation. "In 2003, as a first step in the digital transformation of the television broadcasting industry, The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) tentatively established a new cable television infrastructure comprised of digital, transmission, service and supervisory platforms. The Chinese government will require all Chinese television programming to be broadcast digitally by the year 2015, and our subsidiary has exclusive rights for digital television operations, and as a supplier of set-top terminal boxes, in a number of provinces."

"We plan to invest in platform resources and reception terminals in order to gain 'first mover' advantage in key markets," continued Visconti. "We believe Intra-Asia's operational skills, access to capital, and in-depth research in the digital television industry have positioned our Company to effectively respond to growing pressure for the advancement of digital transformation, the integration of local network resources, and the realization of the potential for digital television at the provincial level."
