"People need the spirit of Christmas more than ever this year, and we are thrilled to be able to bring some holiday joy to millions of our customers for FREE!"

Partnerships with Clear Channel, Tribune and Emmis

Gen2Media (www.gen2media.com) burst onto the digital media scene in early 2008 by landing major partnerships and contracts with Clear Channel Communications, Tribune Company and Emmis Communications. Gen2 recently partnered with Emmis to launch HOT97TV for Hip-Hop mega-station Hot97 (www.hot97.com) in New York, and with Clear Channel to create XLTV for XL106.7 in Orlando (www.XL1067.com). Clear Channel has also teamed up with Gen2Media to create a private label version of ChristmasTV with their Magic107 station (www.magic107.com)

According to Michael Bryan, regional director of interactive services at Clear Channel, "We chose Gen2Media as a digital media partner because no other company can provide the full array of digital services they offer. Their technology is state-of-the-art, their creativity and production teams are amazing, and their dedication and responsiveness are second to none. We are very excited about our partnership with Gen2Media and are looking forward to growing it in the months and years ahead."

Gen2 also has contracted with Tribune Interactive to produce and digitally deliver a daily news show, HoyTV, the Tribune Interactive Hoy property, which can be seen at www.vivelohoy.com.

Kim Johnson, Senior Vice President of Sales for Tribune Company, said "I chose Gen2Media to work on multiple new initiatives for Tribune Interactive because they offer the perfect balance of technology and creativity to bring our project vision to life. Their ability to understand and deliver the projects on time, at budget and beyond expectations is something I count on. The more I work with Gen2Media, the more I both like and value them."
