MediaScrape(TM) Supplies New PBS Program

MediaScrape's technology and content distributed to PBS's Channel 13 (New York) for launch of global program "WorldFocus"

NEW YORK, Oct. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- MediaScrape, recently named by Red Herring as Canada's Most Innovative Tech Company, has officially executed its first HD television deal with PBS's Channel 13 (New York).

MediaScrape announces today that it will be providing news videos from certain of its 28 participating global broadcasters to Channel 13's new TV program WORLDFOCUS(http://worldfocus.org/). WorldFocus is designed to respond to the mainstream media's diminished coverage of international news.

MediaScrape's founder and CEO, Tyler N. Cavell, stated: "The USA's analog-to-digital TV evolution is rapidly approaching and PBS is leading the way. As an Internet broadcaster, MediaScrape is prepared to join traditional television leaders like PBS in leading this digital evolution."

Mr. Cavell added, "Regarding WorldFocus, I agree with Channel 13's assessment that "All the major networks have closed foreign bureaus and cut resources for international news coverage, which amounted to just 8 percent of all American news coverage last year." MediaScrape's global news partners, including the CBC in Canada and the BBC in the United Kingdom, add true value to news consumers and shareholders alike who mutually benefit from increasing demand for global news coverage as foreign bureaus of publicly traded USA media companies are closing."
