Contemporary Animated Kids' TV and Film Content Expands Company's Video Catalog SACRAMENTO, Calif., March 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Music Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:DMGI), a content owner and global leader in the digital distribution of independently owned music and video catalogs, today announced a long-term digital distribution agreement with BKN International AG (Deutsche Bourse: BKQ GY and AIM: BKN LN), a global animation company engaged in the distribution and marketing of animated children's television programs and feature-length films. Under the agreement, DMGI will deliver BKN's current and upcoming television and film series to digital video distribution channels throughout North America. The video catalogs will also be added to the DMGI Kids channel on the DMGI Network, alongside other contemporary and classic content for kids, including "The Gumby Show," "Gumby Adventures," "The Shari Show," "Clutch Cargo," and "Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse." "Great children's programming finds new fans with each generation and BKN is one of the premier developers of animated children's television, like 'Legend of the Dragon,' currently airing on Jetix on Toon Disney. The children's video market represents a significant opportunity for DMGI because the youngest generation is as likely to watch videos from a DVD player, computer, hand-held device, or the back seat of the family SUV as they are to watch from a television set," said Mitchell Koulouris, Chief Executive Officer of DMGI. "This agreement also underscores our continued effort to acquire the digital rights or digital distribution rights to high-quality content that has an established audience or fan base upon which we can build. We look forward to working with BKN International to deliver its content to more people in more ways." "We're very pleased to have formed this relationship with DMGI. Our agreement establishes a solid distribution network for our catalog immediately, and having an organization like DMGI behind our catalog, with its expertise in handling all digital rights within our key North American market, is very important to us," said Allen Bohbot, Chief Executive Officer of BKN International AG. "Not only does DMGI have the expansive digital reach that we wanted for our catalog, they also have good working relationships with retail outlets, including the iTunes Store, Google Video, In2TV, WalMart.com, and more." The BKN Kids library is one of the largest in the children's animation category. With popular shows such as "Legend of the Dragon," "Dork Hunters from Outer Space," and "Zorro: Generation Z" and films such as "Jungle Book: Rikki-Tikki-Tavi to the Rescue," "Robin Hood: Quest for the King," and "Kong: Return to the Jungle," BKN is a recognized leader in the children's animation category.
