LAGUNA NIGEL, Calif., July 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Radium Ventures, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: RDIU) , a leader in Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), today announced that Interactive Television Networks, Inc. ("ITVN") has signed a licensing agreement with Academy Entertainment for the rights to over 1400 classic cinema titles featuring such stars as John Wayne, Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin and countless others.

The Silver Screen Network will offer its entire catalog of titles to subscribers for only $4.95 per month, with the first month free for existing ITVN subscribers.

"ITVN's new Silver Screen Network will bring the Golden Age of cinema to what will surely be called the Golden Age of Internet Television," said Charles Prast, CEO of ITVN. "The Silver Screen Network adds a whole new dimension to our programming, and sets the stage for the addition of multiple mainstream networks including sports, international local news, lifestyle and much more."

According to Alan Miller, President, Academy Entertainment, "We are delighted with this license arrangement with ITVN. ITVN's technology allows for unlimited viewing of content on a real time on-demand basis. We believe that Internet-delivered television service providers, among which ITVN is a leader, are of benefit to both consumers seeking a broader range of on-demand entertainment and content owners looking to meet that demand."

What is IPTV?

IPTV stands for Internet Protocol TV, which is broadcast-quality television delivered over standard home broadband Internet. While offering the same quality as satellite or cable, IPTV has many advantages, such as virtually limitless programming and on-demand content because only channels selected by consumers are delivered over home broadband networks. All content -- including HDTV -- can be distributed on a subscription or pay-per- view basis with content promotion integrated into the user experience. Best of all, IPTV offers true interactivity for the customer, allowing two-way communication with services comparable to the Web, creating a better environment for users, programmers and advertisers.
