PITTSBURGH & MONTREAL--(Business Wire)--
Wizzard Media (AMEX:WZE), the world's largest podcasting network,
and WatchMojo, one of the largest producers, publishers, and
syndicators of video on the web, announced today that they will bring
WatchMojo.com's catalog of over 5,000 professionally produced
one-to-three minute video clips to the growing Wizzard Media
Distribution Network.

   Through its recently launched flash video player and premium
channels on iTunes, DailyMotion, Joost, YouTube and Adobe Media
Player, Wizzard delivers more than 2,000 episodes per minute of every
day to more than 15 million unique monthly audience members worldwide.
The company is expanding its streaming content network to include top
tier social networks, major ISPs, portals, affinity sites, cable
operators and telecommunications giants across North America and
around the world.

   Launched in early 2006, WatchMojo.com will provide Wizzard Media
with automotive, travel, video game and lifestyle videos, including
exclusive interviews and coverage of such high-profile events as
fashion shows, Red Carpet interviews and exotic destinations. The
agreement expands the list of professionally produced digital web TV
content now available throughout Wizzard's network of distribution
sites.

   On making the announcement, Chris Spencer, Wizzard Media CEO said,
"We are very excited to partner with WatchMojo.com to add their
superlative quality video content to our growing network. In addition,
we see tremendous opportunities to serve well-known brand advertisers
by helping them reach a discriminating audience of online video
consumers through our newly launched flash player."

   Adds WatchMojo.com's CEO Ashkan Karbasfrooshan: "Our partnership
with Wizzard Media is more validation that marketers are looking for
premium, professionally-produced content. But securing advertisers is
part of the equation: we're equally impressed with the 1 billion
impressions that Wizzard Media served throughout 2007; indicating
their ability to monetize video content, too."
