Music Plus Television Network, Inc. (MusicPlusTV.com), the leading 24-hour online television network specializing in under-the-radar music and media, is pleased to announce licensing agreements with internet television/video providers Microsoft Windows Media Guide (www.windowsmedia.com), Akimbo (www.akimbo.com), Tvext (www.tvext.tv) and Globe7 (www.globe7.com). Under the agreements, MusicPlusTV.com's wide array of original entertainment television programs will be made available for distribution via the technologies of the respective providers.

The latest agreements come on the heels of MusicPlusTV's seven figure opening of first round funding with Kenai Investments LLC, and aim to develop MusicPlusTV's access and visibility in accordance with the Company's projections to reach 1 million viewers a month by the beginning of 2007. Concurrently, WindowsMedia.com, Akimbo, Tvext and Globe7 will have access to MusicPlusTV.com's fresh, cutting-edge, music-entertainment content, including clips from M+ favorites "Grab Tha Mic,""Rock This," and "10 Deep."

"These new agreements are true partnerships," explains Henry Goldman, Director of Business Development. "By distributing our content, WindowsMedia.com, Akimbo, Tvext and Globe7 all have access to our lineup of cutting-edge, network-quality television video. At the same time, MusicPlusTV.com will be exposed to millions of new viewers, allowing us to organically grow our audience and further develop our brand."

"Since the decline of the 'M' in 'MTV', MusicPlusTV.com is fashioning itself as the frontrunner in music entertainment, especially in the emerging internet era," said CEO and co-founder Marc Cubas. "The quality of our in-house produced programs are fit for traditional network syndication, but as these latest round of agreements illustrate, we're capable of utilizing a wide range of technologies in getting these shows out to our viewers -- when, where and how they want it."

Working with WindowsMedia.com, Akimbo, Tvest and Globe7 means that millions of new viewers will have access to content from MusicPlusTV.com. The WindowsMedia.com portal boasts over 20 million hits a month. Globe7's video-streaming soft phone application has been downloaded over 22 million times, while Tvest's downloadable proprietary software application, Text Desktop TV, has been downloaded onto tens of thousands of desktops. Akimbo, the world's first Internet video-on-demand service for television, is available on the brand new RCA Akimbo Player as well as through the Online Spotlight area of Microsoft Windows Media Center PCs. In the next few weeks Akimbo will also be available to subscribers of the AT&T Homezone home entertainment service.

The agreements have already begin to pay-off for MusicPlusTV.com. According to Co-Founder and Creative Director Dennis Tzeng, "Within hours of being featured on WindowsMedia.com, MusicPlusTV.com website experienced a direct boost in its viewership."
