Expansion SACRAMENTO, Calif., April 12 /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 the expansion of its DMGI Kids
catalog with the acquisition of a number of classic children's
shows and animated features, including the "Bozo the Clown Show,"
the "Howdy Doody Show," "Batfink," "Milton the Monster," and
"Gigantor." The newly acquired video catalogs total more than 400
episodes and 150 hours of programming. "With today's announcement,
DMGI continues its commitment to the children's genre by adding top
quality classic branded content," said Mitchell Koulouris, Chief
Executive Officer of DMGI. "Today's announcement further solidifies
DMGI's leadership position in digital video content." DMGI
announced the acquisition of the following catalogs: * Bozo the
Clown: Perhaps one of the most recognizable brands in the history
of children's programming, the "Bozo the Clown Show" was one of the
top-rated children shows in the 1950s and 1960s. This catalog
features more than 100 episodes of this classic. * Howdy Doody: One
of the most popular and fun-filled kids shows of its era, Howdy
Doody made his mark in 1947 and earned legions of kids fans all
over the country until the series ended in 1960. This catalog also
includes more than 100 "lost episodes" that were shot in the 1970s
and stored in a vault for 25 years, only to be recently
rediscovered. * Batfink: A popular animated children's series of
the 1960s, Batfink first aired in September 1967. Featuring his
super-sonic sonar radar and metallic wings, Batfink would use his
power to capture the "bad guys," including his main villain, Hugo
A. Go-Go. * Milton The Monster: Originally airing from 1965 to
1968, "Milton The Monster" capitalized on the popularity of
then-popular TV sitcoms "The Addams Family" and "The Munsters."
Starring Frankenstein-type Milton with his friends Heebie, Jeebie,
and Abercrombie the Zombie, Milton the Monster was one of the most
popular animated shows of the 1960s. * Gigantor: The English
language version of the Japanese animated show, "Tetsujin-28-go,
Gigantor" was one of the first anime-style cartoons introduced to
American audiences. Created in 1963 and the first "giant robot"
series of its kind, Gigantor was an immediate hit with young
audiences and was the predecessor to similar themed animated shows
of the 1980s and 1990s. The catalogs announced today add to DMGI's
ever growing Kids Channel content that already features "The
Adventures of Gumby," "Gumby Adventures," "Legend of the Dragon,"
"Clutch Cargo," "Courageous Cat," "Starla and the Jewel Riders,"
"The Shari Show," and "Dork Hunters from Outer Space" among others.

high-quality children's content. About DMGI Founded in 2005,
