"We're confident our music fans will love the stunning quality of the shows, our amazing interviews with top artists, and exploring some of the hottest spots in and around Los Angeles with our host, Internet sensation iJustine. This is the first in a series of original content shows we are creating, and we will soon be launching an American Idol style national competition to discover and promote America's most talented Video DJ's."

Her videos have received more than 30 million+ views on the Internet. Justine's legions of online fans follow her exploits on YouTube, Twitter, MySpace, and her own site, ijustine.com.

"I've been a music fan all my life, so combining my passion for creating unique online content with the PluggedIn vault of videos is like a dream come true for me," said iJustine. "We're breaking new ground with the programming we're creating for PluggedIn and the Web, and I know music fans across the web are going to love it."

"We're excited that PluggedIn continues to harmonize great content with superior technology," said Guy Primus, Head of Interactive Media at Overbrook Entertainment and PluggedIn advisor. "PluggedIn 5 is the latest in what we expect to be a steady stream of customer-centric innovations from the PluggedIn team."
