Los Angeles, Calif., February 14, 2001 - Intertainer, the entertainment on demand broadband network, and Universal Studios Pay-Per-View have signed a long-term output agreement to deliver the studio's quality film content over Intertainer's digital cable platform. Universal movies will become available on the Intertainer service starting this month.

According to the multi-year agreement, Universal Studios Pay-Per-View will provide Intertainer with all new releases and library film titles for distribution over the company's digital cable VOD service. The deal also includes access to select library television product.

"We believe that video-on-demand is going to become a huge force in home entertainment over the next several years and we're continuing to move forward with a strategy that shows our commitment to that industry," said Holly Leff-Pressman, Senior Vice President Worldwide Pay-Per-View & Video-On-Demand, Universal Television & Networks Group. "Intertainer is a terrific partner for our ongoing VOD efforts because of their experience in the category."

"Universal has always been on the cutting edge of emerging digital technologies, making this deal yet another example of their forward-looking, pioneering spirit," said Jonathan Taplin, Intertainer President & CEO. "Giving our users access to the depth and breadth of the Universal library will further our goal of making Intertainer just as vast and vastly more convenient than a video store."
