Glowpoint to Provide Managed Video Services for the 2008 Football Draft

Enables Interactive Broadcast between television sports analysts and team headquarters



HILLSIDE, N.J. April 24, 2008 Glowpoint, Inc. (OTC:GLOW) today announced that it will be providing its Interactive Broadcast Managed Video Services for the two sports television networks covering the 2008 professional football draft. Draft coverage begins this Saturday at 3:00 pm ET and concludes Sunday night. Both stations will leverage Glowpoints Managed Video Services to broadcast live interviews with coaches, owners and players from around the country.

 

The services include Glowpoints high-quality network connectivity along with a full range of managed video services. The broadcasters will leverage Glowpoints cost-effective services in order to do interviews instantaneously with analysts and team representatives. The networks frequently show the in-studio analysts in split screen with the person being interviewed, showcasing Glowpoints ability to provide virtually zero latency in a live-to-air use of video conferencing.

 

 

Glowpoint has also been awarded branding rights on one of the networks and the companys logo will be featured on screen during the video interviews. The following graphic will be displayed at various times throughout the broadcast on Saturday and Sunday, April 26 and 27.

 

 

 

In addition to events like the football draft, Glowpoint provides services to a variety of broadcasters, supporting around the clock live coverage throughout the year.  The introduction of Glowpoints HD solution in 2007 led to a number of customers expanding services to include remote feeds during daily features and one college network has been nominated for an Emmy for their use of Glowpoints HD solution in their broadcast.

 

 

 Year after year, weve proven in a very public forum that Glowpoint is unmatched in providing a high quality, cost effective alternative to satellite feeds, said Glowpoint CEO and President Michael Brandofino. It is a strong testament to our service that Glowpoint can be seen in action on live TV every night of the week on any number of cable stations including NFL Network, Big Ten Network and Mountain West Sports Network among others.
