AMERICAN FORK, Utah, Nov. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Move Networks, a leading
provider of digital media publishing and delivery services, announced today
that in less than one year, more than twenty million unique viewers have
used Move Networks to watch long form or live near-HD or HD video content
online from leading broadcasters. Move is currently capturing more than
100,000 new unique streaming video viewers each day. Move Networks has
quickly become the premier publishing platform for many leading media
companies that want to deliver near-HD or HD video content online.
    Move Networks offers a high quality viewing experience: video with fast
starts, high fidelity and continuous playing. As evidenced by the rapidly
growing number of Move-enabled viewers supporting an average viewing time
of more than 50 minutes per session, Move is demonstrating that users
respond to a high quality experience. Users are willing to watch more video
in extended viewing sessions when the experience is compelling.
    "Move Networks is leading the transformation to high-resolution,
full-screen quality that is comparable with the living room HDTV," said
John Edwards, CEO of Move Networks, Inc. "Today's publishers want to grab
the attention of viewers and our statistics demonstrate that high quality
video will garner the attention the publishers are seeking. Move helps
publishers bring the attention to their content that it deserves. Everyone
wins, the publisher's content is displayed in the optimum environment and
the viewers love the experience. Move is proving that users not only demand
access to premium content online, they will go get their content where it
is delivered in the best possible format. A high-quality viewing experience
is key."
    The following statistics focus on Move's customers only:

    --  The number of consumers viewing entire episodes online has
        dramatically increased as Move is gaining more than 100,000 new unique
        viewers every 24 hours.
    --  A Move-enabled user's average viewing time is 50 minutes (much higher
        than other industry estimates, which have placed average video viewing
        times across the Internet closer to 2.7 minutes).
    --  Viewers have watched more than 15 million hours of Move-enabled
        near-HD or HD premium video content online in October alone.
    --  Already in November, more than twice the number of viewers watched
        long form video online than watched in the entire month of August.
    --  Move has streamed more than 50 million hours of television this year.
    Move Networks lets content publishers stream direct-to-consumer video
programming in a full-screen, broadcast-quality format with profound
economic efficiencies and a dramatically better user experience. This
delivery method also affords the publisher the ability to deliver video
without having to give up their direct relationship with their viewers.
