Asia Global Holdings Corporation Establishes Collaboration With Sony Pictures Television International

LOS ANGELES, March 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Asia Global Holdings Corporation (BULLETIN BOARD: AAGH) announces that Idea Asia Limited (Idea Asia), a wholly-owned subsidiary of AAGH, has entered into an option agreement with Sony Pictures Television International (SPTI) giving Idea Asia the first opportunity to license the TV game show format "Blackjack Bowling" from SPTI to adapt and produce a local version of the format in China.

"Blackjack Bowling" is the only show of its kind that combines two of the world's favorite pastimes -- blackjack and bowling -- just as the two simple elements of the roulette wheel and hangman were combined to create Wheel of Fortune. "Blackjack Bowling's" format is flexible and can be played in either a 30-minute or 60-minute format.

"We are delighted to be able to secure the exclusive right for another famous format. Without a doubt, we are thrilled to establish a co-operative relationship with a prestigious company in Sony Pictures Television International. Further, the significance of "Blackjack Bowling" also should not be overlooked. It is a proven successful format among Chinese population as the Taiwan adaptation of Blackjack Bowling, broadcasted by Star TV, is constantly the number one game show among all cable channels," according to Dominique Ullmann, Executive Director of Idea Asia.
