June 13, 2008 - maniaTV Goes Mobile

Platform partnership with Transpera brings Dave Navarro, Gaming, Music, Comedy and Action Sports television content to personal devices

Los Angeles -- Jun. 16, 2008 - maniaTV, the first online television network and birthplace of original web television hits Dave Navarro's Spread TV and Tom Green Live, today announced the launch of maniaTV Mobile. The service, powered by Transpera's comprehensive mobile video delivery and monetization platform, allows viewers to access online television content from any video-enabled mobile device, and creates additional advertising inventory and enhanced interactive programming options for maniaTV. Select maniaTV Mobile content can now be viewed by going to http://maniatv.com from mobile browsers.

maniaTV Mobile will offer more personal ways for mobile users to experience their favorite programming on the go with features such as "Send-to-Friend" for mobile-to-mobile sharing and forthcoming "Send to Mobile" for online to mobile device interaction. The Transpera platform, optimized for all video capable phones including the newly announced 3G iPhone, also gives users the ability to search for videos, save their favorites, and receive mobile alerts when new shows appear through integration with top social networking services such as Twitter.

"Mobile content is an important part of engaging viewers in a way that suits their lifestyle while delivering timely and highly engaging brand experiences for advertisers" said Peter Hoskins, maniaTV CEO. "maniaTV Mobile will change the way we conceive and create segments and can add a new level of interactivity down the road."

"With more and more mobile phones, like the iPhone, out there with powerful video capabilities, having a mobile video channel is a no-brainer. But the complexity and cost of developing, deploying and monetizing these channels is a barrier for many content providers," said Frank Barbieri, founder and CEO of Transpera. "Transpera's platform eliminates that complexity, adds incremental revenue though targeted advertising integration and allows video publishers to focus on their core competencies - creating and delivering the most exciting video possible to their audiences."
