(AMEX:NTN) today announced that it has partnered with VH1 to support the launch of a new VH1 series, "I Love The New Millennium."

In what will be the third partnership between Buzztime and VH1, the "I Love The New Millennium" branded trivia game will explore pop culture topics highlighted in the show -- the good, the bad and the just plain silly -- from the last eight years. Buzztime players compete in a custom 30-minute Advergame in which questions are tailored around pop culture topics. Also included are run-of-schedule promotional spots on the Buzztime Network, inclusion on the Buzztime website and a VH1 customized poll of Buzztime players network-wide.

"Our relationship with VH1 is a valued and ongoing relationship," said Executive Vice President of Content and Marketing, Buzztime, Jake Tauber. "This customized game is unique to Buzztime's interactive platform and provides maximum exposure to VH1's target demographic in bars and restaurants across the country."

Interest in the trivia game is evident after the release of an e-newsletter announcing the game to Buzztime's player network. After sending the newsletter, Buzztime measured a 39 percent increase in website traffic.

Players of the Buzztime "I Love The New Millennium" trivia game will reminisce on years not long past while testing their knowledge on a range of pop-culture topics including Reality TV, MySpace, Napoleon Dynamite and pre-rehab Britney Spears.

As a leading developer and distributor of Play Along TV(R) entertainment and technology, the Buzztime Network consists of nearly 3,800 bars and restaurants across North America and the UK. The network features casual interactive games played on televisions within each location.

Previously, Buzztime partnered with VH1 on a similar campaign supporting the "World Series of Pop Culture" VH1 series.
