Detroit City Council Streams Live and On-Demand City News Online Using DigitalFX International's helloWorld Studio

Municipality Streams Live Meetings Directly to Constituency

LAS VEGAS, June 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DigitalFX International, Inc. (AMEX:DXN), a digital communications and streaming video provider, announced today that the City of Detroit is using the DigitalFX helloWorld Studio, an all-in-one, robust streaming video suite of tools, to live broadcast its city council meetings and to send video email announcements to its' constituents. The continued successful use demonstrates DigitalFX International's viability for municipalities as a superior cost-effective solution for reaching citizens immediately.

Kwame Kenyatta, Detroit City Council Member, said the Detroit City Council "recognized the need for complete and accurate coverage of the City's business, so the decision was made to utilize the advancements of today's technology and allow citizens a new outlet for following the legislative process. Following that decision, the implementation has produced a mass of positive feedback, proving the necessity of such a service and at no cost to the viewer. As a subscriber to helloWorld, I not only acknowledge its advantage, but I also recommend this form of communication to other municipalities seeking to build the relationship between elective bodies and the citizens they represent."

The City also uses streaming video emails to raise awareness for its local school system with messages from local community leaders and sports celebrities,
