FANS MAKE THE PLAYS WITH NCAA FOOTBALL ON VEOH

Create and share custom video highlight reels featuring popular
NCAA Football teams and players

SAN DIEGO, CA-- (September 18, 2007) –Veoh Networks (www.veoh.com), the leading innovator in Internet television, and Collegiate Images, LLC today announced the launch of a rich NCAA Football channel on Veoh, featuring an exclusive “NCAA Football Custom Highlights” sportscasting application that allows college football fans to create and share their very own NCAA Football online video highlight reels.

The NCAA Football channel on Veoh gives college football fans access to many of this season’s NCAA football game highlights every week - from game-winning touchdown and trick plays, to crushing tackles, interceptions and much more. Fans can use the NCAA Football Custom Highlights application to pick their favorite game highlights by conference, school, player, position or play and build custom video highlight reels that they can easily email or embed on their MySpace pages, Facebook profiles, personal blogs or websites. The NCAA Football channel and Custom Highlights application is available for free at www.veoh.com/ncaafootball.

“We created the NCAA Football channel on Veoh to allow fans to experience the rush of NCAA Football whenever and wherever they want to this season,” said Dmitry Shapiro, Founder and Chief Innovation Officer of Veoh Networks. “By making it easy to watch, customize and share the best of NCAA Football online, Veoh allows fans everywhere to engage with college football teams and players like never before.”

"Because college football video clips are scattered about the Web, Veoh has innovatively created a centralized and deep NCAA Football experience for college football fans online," said David Bertram, Executive Director for NCAA Football. "This compelling new way to engage fans through video of popular teams and great plays is great for college football."

Veoh will be updated with fresh NCAA Football video clips twice a week, giving fans the opportunity to view up-to-date game footage and build new highlight reels leading up to and following each weekend’s games.

Veoh’s NCAA Football Custom Highlights application was developed through the company’s licensing agreement with Collegiate Images, LLC, the centralized licensing and rights clearance agency for video and still images focusing exclusively on college sports. Veoh is committed to partnering with content owners to give viewers access to the high-quality video content that they want and ways to discover new, engaging experiences online.

We are pleased to announce the beta launch of VeohTV. You can find more info about it at veoh.tv.

Here is the press release :

VEOH NETWORKS LAUNCHES

VeohTV

THE INTERNET’S NEW KILLER VIDEO APP

VeohTV Delivers Single Internet TV Experience for Watching All Online Video
- From Major Television Networks to User-Generated Content -


SAN DIEGO — June XX, 2007 — Veoh (www.veoh.com), the leader in Internet Television, today announced the beta launch of VeohTV – a revolutionary application that builds on the success of its acclaimed Veoh Player and immediately transforms the online video landscape.

VeohTV acts as a specialized video browser and DVR (digital video recorder) for discovering, viewing and managing online video. VeohTV combines the breadth of the Internet with the simplicity of traditional TV and betters it with a patent-pending smart recommendation engine so that viewers can discover more of what they want to watch. Because VeohTV supports open Internet standards, it has access to virtually all of the content on the Internet.

“Unlike Joost, which is a closed system with content from a limited number of sources, VeohTV supports open Internet standards, and has access to virtually all of the video content on the Internet, on demand.” said Dmitry Shapiro, CEO of Veoh Networks. “We asked Veoh.com users what they really want in their online video experience and VeohTV is the culmination of that feedback. We believe that it will be the dominant standard for online video consumption moving forward.”

Industry heavyweights who have seen early versions of VeohTV have had positive reaction. “It’s a great product” said Barry Diller, Chairman and CEO of Interactive Corp.

"Veoh has leapfrogged the field with their dazzling new video application, said Ross Levinsohn, former President, Fox Interactive Media. The new Veoh will set the bar very high for others to shoot for, and will be a terrific experience for consumers worldwide."


The VeohTV Experience
VeohTV presents viewers with a single interface to search, browse and view all video on the Internet, from major television networks such as Fox and CBS, to independently-produced content available on sites such as YouTube, Google Video, Veoh.com and MySpace. As with television, the interface is simple enough to be driven by a remote control, consistent from program to program, and displays video in a full screen TV-like experience. Key features include:

• Channels – browse for content by channel (i.e., CBS, NBC, Road & Track channels)
• Search – keyword search for videos from across thousands of websites
• Favorites – subscribe to content from your favorite shows, channels, and producers, and download and store your favorite videos
• Recommended – Veoh’s advanced recommendation engine makes finding interesting content even easier by recommending videos based on user preferences and previous viewing habits
• Interact Mode - engage with dozens of “widgets” while viewing videos. Widgets are available to access services from Amazon, eBay, Gmail, Hotmail, CraigsList, AOL, and others. Additional widgets will be added on a continuous basis.

VeohTV is Radically Simple and Convenient
Once installed on a PC, VeohTV launches into a channel guide, similar to the kind that you find in cable systems. Viewers can browse through channels or search by keywords, and watch full-screen video on demand. VeohTV users are able to stream directly from the host site or, as with a conventional DVR, click a button to download permitted videos and watch them at their leisure, either online or offline. Viewers can also simply connect their computers to their television and utilize their computer’s remote control to sit-back and watch VeohTV in the comfort of their living room on their big-screen TV’s.

VeohTV for Content Owners and Publishers
VeohTV was designed with content owners in mind - as a powerful marketing and distribution channel that can distinguish and prominently feature their shows to viewers. VeohTV enables viewers to access video directly from the original video owners’ website, allowing content owners and licensors to count the audience and serve advertising.

Join the VeohTV beta
VeohTV beta will initially be limited. Viewers can register for an invitation to download the free software application at www.veoh.tv or www.veoh.com

We are proud to announce our "coming out of beta" release.

Here's what's in it:

New branding – We have changed our logo, and updated the look/feel of Veoh.com. Check it out..





Personalized Recommendations – Logged in users get personalized recommendations based on their prior activity in the system. The more you use Veoh, the more it learns about what you like and don’t like, and helps you find videos that you may like. Our Chief Scientist, Dr. Ted Dunning built the recommendations engine behind MusicMatch (now Yahoo Music), so this will be a big thing moving forward.



Veoh Pro Program – Users can make money on their videos by charging on a Pay-to-Rent or Pay-To-Own basis. Pro publishers can automatically have their videos uploaded to YouTube, MySpace Video, and Google Video. Also, pro publishers can have their content automatically transcoded to iPod compatible Quicktime. Our system will do all the work, including creating iTunes compatible RSS feeds that let you subscribe with the click of a button.















Cross site Reporting – Not only can Veoh automatically publish videos to YouTube, Google Video, and MySpace Video, but it also creates a one-stop dashboard to track the performance of your videos across all of those sites.











Posting to Blogs – We have added the capabilities for users to post videos to Blogger, WordPress and MySpace.


Upgraded Embedable Player – Our embeddable player lets users embed not only a single video, but multiple videos (Series, Channels, Favorites, etc.) in a single line of code.

















Upgraded Veoh Player - Our optional, downloadable Veoh Player now supports downloading videos not only from Veoh, but also from RSS feeds, Bit Torrent trackers, and we have introduced a new Browser Plugin (Firefox and IE), that alerts you when you are on pages that have embedded or linked videos, and lets you download those. It works with YouTube, MetaCafe, Google Video, MySpace Video, and any website that has .mov, .wmv, .mp4 videos linked (thousands of sites). This is going to be VERY hot! Also, the Veoh Player is Remote Controllable, so you can connect your PC/Mac to your TV, and sit back and watch. We also have a cool new skin.

 

Performance – We grew 37% last month and are now an Alexa Top 1,000 site.

 

 

Advertising – We have launched advertising (we will be experimenting with all kinds of ad units (Pre-roll, Post-roll, Mid-roll, Overlays, Curtains)). Our launch sponsor is Dr. Pepper –


Wouldn’t you like to be a pepper too?

We are excited to announce that Veoh has partnered with United Talent Agency, one of the world's premier talent agencies to discover and promote new talent. Internet Television allows content producers to take control of their own destinies and to start broadcasting. While some of these people will choose to remain independent, others will look for representation from talent agents. The Veoh/UTA partnership will allow those talented people to be discovered quicker, and provide UTA early insight into the next hot stars.

Press release is below :

United Talent Agency and Veoh Networks Form Breakthrough Channel to Discover New Talent Online

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.-(Business Wire)-January 17, 2007 - UTA Online, the broadband division of leading talent and literary agency United Talent Agency, has partnered with Veoh Networks, Inc. (www.veoh.com) the leading innovator in Internet television, to create a branded UTAO channel on Veoh dedicated to identifying new talent and showcasing content produced by current UTAO clients. This is the first distribution partnership between a talent agency and an online network. The deal was brokered by Michael Eisner, Veoh board member and Jeremy Zimmer, UTA board member.

Slated to launch in February, the new channel will provide UTAO a single site to aggregate the high volume of talent and filmmaker submissions it has received since opening its doors October 2006. UTAO has openly encouraged aspiring digital artists to submit their work for representation consideration, bucking the common agency practice of prohibiting unsolicited submissions. The channel will be open and available to all Veoh users to submit, view and share content.

UTAO executives and the UTAO web portal, in development, will direct potential clients to the Veoh channel as the exclusive mechanism for submitting unsolicited video materials to UTAO. Additionally, the UTAO channel, which will be supported by both banner and integrated advertisements, will also feature content produced by already-existing UTAO clients.

"We have received thousands of submissions since UTAO was announced," commented Brent Weinstein, the Head of Digital Media at United Talent Agency, who oversees the UTAO division. "This partnership with Veoh enables us to create a structured, standardized and legally sound mechanism for aggregating and reviewing unsolicited submissions, in a peer-to-peer video environment that can support the high resolution, television-quality content that many aspiring artists produce."

"With UTAO's expertise in spotting and nurturing entertainment talent and Veoh's mission to encourage, empower and enable the best independent, creative content producers online, this channel will become the new gateway for talent discovery in Hollywood." said Dmitry Shapiro, CEO of Veoh Networks, Inc. "By partnering with UTAO and making this process available to the public, we are bringing the newest and brightest creative minds to the new, more flexible medium of Internet TV."

The UTAO channel will offer all of the features of the Veoh network. Publishers will be able to easily publish and distribute TV-quality, full-screen videos to hundreds of millions of viewers around the world using the Veoh software. As Veoh is more niche than cable, viewers can subscribe to content offerings of specific interest for viewing either online or off, whenever and wherever they wish. They can also create customized profiles, share and comment on videos, and publish videos to their own web page or blog very simply.

United Talent Agency is one of the entertainment industry's premiere talent and literary agencies, representing many of world's most widely-known figures in every current and emerging area of entertainment, including motion pictures, television, digital media, publishing, music, mobile and live entertainment. Collectively, UTA agents represent a significant cross-section of today's most acclaimed and inspiring artists and entertainers, including nominees and winners of Academy, Emmy, Grammy, Screen Actors Guild, Directors Guild, Writers Guild, Producers Guild, Golden Globe and People's Choice awards. The agency is also globally recognized in the areas of corporate consulting, branding, licensing, endorsements and the representation of production talent.
