BroadRelay Enters Into Online Video Distribution Deal with Egami Media

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BroadRelay, Inc. (http://www.broadrelay.com/), a Philadelphia-based technology, media and entertainment company, and a wholly owned subsidiary of BroadRelay Holdings, Inc. (Pink Sheets: BDRH), announced today that it has entered into an online video distribution deal with Egami Media, Inc., a subsidiary of Image Entertainment, Inc. The two-year agreement covers Egami's entire library, which includes hundreds of films, concerts and special interest programs in English, Spanish and a variety of other languages. BroadRelay will initially distribute Egami's Spanish programming as part of the Company's existing slate of programming currently offered under the "SIVOO(TM)" brand name (http://www.sivoo.com/). The remaining programming will be added to future BroadRelay properties.

"BroadRelay will give consumers access to the ethnically diverse programming in our library. Films by Luis Bunuel, the Latinologues by Rick Najera and our other Latin titles will find a home on SIVOO," said Burgess Wilson, Egami's VP of Business Development. "Egami will continue to support our retail partners by aggressively acquiring programming for distribution by partners like BroadRelay."

BroadRelay currently has agreements with international content providers covering hundreds of movies in 17 languages. SIVOO's first offering, a Spanish-language pay-per-view movie channel, is currently in beta testing; the Company plans an official launch, featuring additional content including the programming from Egami, in the 4th quarter 2005. The Asian movie channel is also expected to launch in the near future with hundreds of titles. Additionally, in a joint venture with the C3 Group, BroadRelay is developing AsiaCrossing.com, an English-language news portal serving the Asian community in the U.S. and abroad. AsiaCrossing.com is currently in beta testing, with an anticipated 1st quarter 2006 launch date.
