SIVOO Announces Broadcast and Distribution Agreements with Miss Asian America, World Channel and Tai Seng Entertainment

Multicultural Internet TV Network Continues to Expand With Top Quality Asian Content

PHILADELPHIA, June 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SIVOO Holdings, Inc. , operator of the first Internet TV network of multicultural on- demand entertainment programming, today announced an exclusive business agreement with the Miss Asian America Pageant(R), the longest continuous running Asian American pageant in the United States. In addition, SIVOO announced new business agreements with World Channel and Tai Seng Entertainment, two leading providers of Asian content.

"We are deeply invested in improving the breadth and depth of SIVOO's entertainment programming," said Burhan Fatah, SIVOO's founder and chief executive officer. "The Miss Asian America Pageant, World Channel and Tai Seng each have a strong, loyal viewership and together we can offer new opportunities for this exciting programming to reach broader audiences online."

The SIVOO Internet TV Network (www.sivoo.com) will have exclusive broadcast and distribution rights for the 22nd Annual Miss Asian America Pageant that is scheduled to take place on August 11, 2007 at the Palace of Fine Arts Theater in San Francisco. The Miss Asian America Pageant has been the premier event in the Asian American community for the past two decades.

"Miss Asian America is thrilled to partner with SIVOO as the exclusive broadcast partner and distributor for our event," said Rose Chung, founder of the Miss Asian America Pageant. "With its distribution technology and expertise in producing world-class content, SIVOO is best positioned to help us take the Pageant to new heights and generate exposure for the contestants among a wide audience that embraces multicultural entertainment."

The World Channel currently broadcasts on KMTP Channel 32 in the Bay Area, offering programming such as drama, news, variety shows and locally produced entertainment and financial programs.

"We felt it was very important to select a partner that has deep expertise in on-demand and digital programming, but would also be sensitive to the culture and traditions of the market," said Alan Mok, chief executive officer of World Channel. "We are delighted to have SIVOO as our broadband distribution platform. We believe SIVOO is tomorrow's industry leader."
