GoFish Dives Into Extreme Sports
Strategic Partnerships with Adrenalina and Movie Made Productions To Feature Hundreds of Sports Videos on GoFish Network
SAN FRANCISCO - March 23, 2007 - GoFish Corporation, the leading publicly traded online video company where millions of people come to watch, upload and share videos, today announced the licensing of hundreds of sports-related videos from Adrenalina and Movie Made Productions. The agreements will provide the GoFish community with free, direct access to a wide variety of extreme and action sports videos, enhancing the vast assortment of licensed content and made-for-Internet programming available through the GoFish Network.
GoFish, with a community of nearly 9 million monthly unique users, will gain free access to Adrenalina's and Movie Made Productions' collections of original video programs. Hundreds of new shows will be added to the GoFish Network, amounting to hours of videos that feature a diverse collection of sports and lifestyle programming.
"These relationships bring a popular category of programming to the GoFish Network," said Michael Downing, founder and CEO of GoFish. "Extreme sports and lifestyle shows enhance the line-up of offerings available to our community and cater directly to advertisers looking to target the Gen X and Gen Y audiences."
Movie Made Productions' new extreme sports television show, American X, will be licensed for viewing on the GoFish Network. Since launching last December, American X has been featured on MTV, FUEL and SpikeTV. Elevating extreme sporting to new heights, the show features hard-to-capture video footage of sky diving, kite boarding, and golf cart propulsion, among many others.
"We are thrilled to be commencing this partnership and to be building our own channel on GoFish, one of the leaders in online video," said Clinton Walker, president of Movie Made Productions and celebrity host of the daily television show, Planet XYZ, which airs on Starz' Encore Wam channel. "In addition to our extensive library of extreme sports videos, we also are looking forward to promoting a variety of upcoming television shows through GoFish, whose users will be among the first to preview these trailers."
With its origins in retail sports apparel and accessories, Adrenalina has branched into complimentary lifestyle video entertainment focused on outdoor, adventure and extreme sports. Adrenalina's The Extreme Store is a new and exciting concept born out of the success of Adrenalina, the TV show, which currently airs throughout the American continent in leading networks such as Fox Sports and Fuel TV (in both its English and Spanish formats). "Our goal with Adrenalina is to take audiences on the riskiest adventures in the most exotic and remote locations around the globe," said Jonathan Abenhaim, SVP of Media, Adrenalina.
