GoTV Kicks Off First Mobile TV Channel for Fantasy Sports Junkies

Fantasy Sports Edge Gives Fans Power to Manage Multiple Team Rosters Anytime, Anywhere

SHERMAN OAKS, Calif., Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Just in time for the start of football season, GoTV Networks today launched Fantasy Sports Edge -- the first and only mobile channel made for the millions of fantasy sports fanatics everywhere. In addition to providing up-to-the-minute sports news, Fantasy Sports Edge (FSE) allows users to customize and track up to three teams per sport -- up to four leagues -- with the "My Lineup" feature. According to statistics from the Fantasy Sports Trade Association, 15 to 18 million people in the U.S. participate in a fantasy sports team annually, with that number continuing to grow rapidly each year.

Whether sports fanatics are waiting in line or heading to their local sports bar to watch the game, FSE users can tune in anytime to view the latest video highlights; commentary and updates from leading fantasy sports resources Rotowire.com and Sporting News Radio; standings, draft tips, rumors, transactions and injury updates; team and player alerts; and daily scores and schedules for the National Football League (NFL), Major League Baseball (MLB), National Basketball Association (NBA), National Hockey League (NHL), NCAA Football, and NCAA Basketball. Subscribers with video-enabled phones can access all FSE features for $5.99 a month via most major carriers.

"Fantasy sports allows devoted fans to become part of the game. By interacting and competing, they're not just watching from the sidelines," said Daniel Tibbets, GoTV's executive vice president of studios. "With Fantasy Sports Edge, fans stay even more connected to their favorite teams and leagues and impress their friends and competitors with all the latest stats, scores and news at a moment's notice."

Erika Lewis, vice president of sports, has assembled an impressive team of commentators and producing talent, resulting in a starting lineup that includes Mark Willard, co-host of The Tony Bruno Show on Sporting News Radio; Courtney Friel, former host of "World Poker Tour" on the Travel Channel; and Chris Rix, the Florida State University quarterback who helped guide the Seminoles to a Gator Bowl appearance in 2005. Also rounding out the team is GoTV's award-winning senior sports producer, Dave Denicke, formerly of Fox Sports Net, as well as some of Rotowire.com's best commentators, including Chris Liss, Jason Thornbury, and Janet Eagleson, providing game predictions and fantasy analysis. Sporting News talk show hosts Tony Bruno, Arnie Spanier and Tim Brando will also provide commentary.

To gain access to FSE, fantasy sports enthusiasts can text "FSE" to 44688 or visit gotvsports.com.
