Blue Frog(TM) Media Sets Industry Standard for Text-to-Screen TV With Launch of Impulse on LATV Network

Flash-based overlay service, Impulse, instantly enhances the viewer experience for broadcast stations and cable programmers with a unique overlay application designed for promotionally driven, interactive television

SEATTLE, Oct. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Blue Frog Media, the leading creator of promotionally driven TXTV channels and overlay services, is setting the bar for iTV with the launch of Impulse, the company's innovative programming overlay text-to-screen application, on LATV Networks' affiliates across the U.S., it was announced today by Victor Siegel, President and CEO. LATV is the nation's first bilingual music/entertainment network distributed via digital multicast.

Impulse is the industry's first Adobe(R) Flash(R)-based overlay application that integrates seamlessly with most broadcast and cable environments. Designed as a turnkey product, Impulse enables broadcast stations and cable programmers to engage and entertain their viewers with simple to use text-to-screen technology. At the core of Impulse is Blue Frog Media's sophisticated promotions engine, designed to allow individual stations to customized promotional and prizing opportunities -- for their viewers and advertisers alike.

Two of LATV Networks' most popular programs, "Videos Por Favor" and "Videos a la Cart," will be the first to take advantage of Impulse's innovative technology. Throughout the programs, which air weekdays from 4 - 6 p.m. PT, viewers can "chat" via text messages from their mobile phones. Each message is sent to Blue Frog moderators who immediately review the content and approve the message for broadcast. Messages are then transmitted via the Internet to the station-specific Impulse installation and are displayed on the television screen, giving every viewer the opportunity to be "seen" on TV.

"Key to Impulse is our desire to enhance the broadcast experience through easy-to-use text enabled interactive solutions. LATV's core audience of 12- to 34-year-olds is the perfect demographic to take advantage of Impulse's integration of texting with traditional broadcast television. They love music and they're certainly into texting," said Siegel. "We look forward to attracting even more viewers to LATV's programming by partnering closely with their programmers and producers to enhance the viewing experience with our interactive technology, and build an additional profitable revenue stream for LATV at the same time."
