YooMedia, the AIM-traded interactive content and services provider, has signed

bandwidth for transmission of rich EPG data through Digital Terrestrial
Television (DTT) in the UK.


tvtv is aggregating and transmitting TV metadata through Internet, analog and
digital broadcast in Europe. The service enables advanced EPG functionality on
TV sets, digital set-top-boxes, personal video recorders, DVD recorders,
personal computers and mobile phones. Device manufacturers, using the tvtv EPG
data service, can design their own user interface and offer consumers easy to
use, state of the art devices with inter-connectivity within mobile, internet
and broadcast platforms.


In addition, YooMedia and tvtv will collaborate to research and develop
additional interactive digital television services via or in conjunction with
the EPG, such as enhanced on-screen TV magazines and interactive television
advertising.


YooMedia's Group Managing Director, Neil MacDonald, said: 'We are delighted to
announce this new datacasting services agreement with tvtv, a company with
experience in EPG services. We believe the collaboration will further enhance
the services provided by both YooMedia and tvtv, solidifying our position as the
partner of choice in this sector.'


Dimitris Kourepis, General Manager tvtv, said: 'I am very pleased to cooperate
with YooMedia, a company with strong presence in interactive television. It
supports our plans to provide rich EPG data and new exciting services to our
customers in UK and other European countries.'


YooMedia's datacasting service is unique in the market as a means of delivering
dynamic next-generation interactivity on Freeview in the UK. The Directors
expect to deliver annualised incremental earnings in excess of £500,000 by the
end of 2006 from a range of datacasting services and customers, following the
introduction of the service in September of 2005.
