          BKN Continues Expanding International Sales for Dork Hunters


BKN is pleased to announce that its wholly owned UK subsidiary, BKN New Media
Ltd., has further expanded its international sales for their children's animated
comedy series Dork Hunters from Outer Space (36x22'and 1x60').

BKN New Media Ltd. has recently closed a number of international Free TV deals
and has confirmed a strategically timed autumn 2008 launch with a number of key
broadcast partners.  This autumn launch has been carefully planned to support
the international retail release of Character Option's toy line.

The following channels are participating in the simultaneous launch: GMTV (UK),
Network TEN (Australia), SABC (South Africa) and CTC (Russia).

Cherrie Bottger, Head of Children's Television at Network TEN, says that she is
very excited about broadcasting the series. "Here at TEN we are dedicated to our
young viewers and constantly strive to find the next best thing.  We think we've
found this in Dork Hunters." She added that, "we will build two promotional
campaigns and competitions around the launch, offering viewers the opportunity
to watch the series both on our SD channel and also on TEN's HD channel where
the series will be simulcast".

In addition, BKN New Media Ltd has appointed Kidz Entertainment as its Licensing
Agent tasked with opening up Central and Eastern European regions. Says Morten
Geschwendtner, Chairman  and Director of Business Development at Kidz
Entertainment: "We are enormously pleased to be working with BKN New Media and
look forward to introducing Dork Hunters to potential partners in Central and
Eastern Europe commencing with Russia and of course to extending our
relationship with BKN to include further projects."

BKN's Managing Director, Nicola Andrews, says that, "With the recent programming
successes, BKN is looking forward to securing further expansion internationally
at the upcoming MIPTV".
