Dodge Renews Advertising Campaign on NTN Interactive Television Network for Fifth Consecutive Year

Dodge Signs a Two Year Agreement to Renew Its Title Sponsorship of QB1(R) Predict-The-Play(R) Football and Interactive Advergaming Programs on the NTN Interactive Television Network

CARLSBAD, Calif. and AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Sept. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NTN Communications, Inc., (AMEX:NTN) a leader in interactive entertainment products for the hospitality industry, and Dodge, a division of DaimlerChrysler AG (NYSE:DCX), announced today that Dodge has extended its advertising sponsorship program with NTN for an additional two years.

Dodge has been the exclusive automotive sponsor of NTN's QB1 program for the past four years. This sponsorship extends their category exclusivity in QB1 through the 2005 and 2006 football seasons.

Dodge's 2005 advertising campaign will include Dodge commercials, sponsorship of QB1, NTN's Predict-The-Play(R) football strategy game, the Dodge "Battle To The Bowl V" trivia competition, and the Dodge "Haul Of Fame IV" Advergame featuring state-of-the-art 3D animation. The NTN iTV Network delivers interactive game content to over 3,800 sports bars and restaurants across North America, reaching 1 million consumers daily.

"Dodge's decision to renew their sponsorship of the NTN Network for a fifth and sixth year speaks dramatically to the results the network has delivered in helping them achieve their marketing communications objectives," said Mark deGorter, President and Chief Operating Officer of the NTN iTV Network. "With reports that upfront media buying is shifting away from traditional media vehicles, the market is beginning to recognize what Dodge has understood for years -- that the NTN iTV Network is a cost-effective, alternative interactive medium for advertisers to communicate their brand message, obtain immediate consumer feedback and generate concrete results."

Dodge's campaign strategy with NTN will also include the opportunity for local participation by Dodge dealers nationwide. Dodge dealers can sponsor local tailgate events at restaurants and sports bars that carry the NTN iTV Network while showcasing Dodge vehicles, distributing prizes and promoting their dealerships.

"Dodge's mission is to connect with consumers through activities they are passionate about," commented Fred Diaz, Director, Dodge Communications. "NTN has consistently delivered creative programs that engage our target consumers in the midst of what they love doing at the grass-roots level. This long-term commitment will allow us even more creative avenues to connect with consumers."
