 ABOUT THE COMPANY
ACTV, Inc., a leading digital media company, has
developed patented and proprietary software-based technologies called HyperTV® and
``Individualized Television.'' ACTV uses these patented and proprietary technologies to
create unique programming for digital television and for TV/Internet convergence
applications.
ACTV's ``Individualized Television'' enables TV
programmers and advertisers to create individualized programming for digital television.
Along with General Instrument Corporation (which recently merged with Motorola), ACTV has
created Digital ADCO, Inc., a subsidiary of ACTV, Inc., to develop and introduce a
comprehensive end-to-end system for delivering targeted, addressable advertising utilizing
ACTV's ``Individualized Television'' capabilities. By allowing advertisers to send
commercials that reach target audiences, ACTV believes that Digital ADCO will dramatically
improve the efficiency of television advertising. HyperTV also has a database capability
that captures permission-based marketing information.
In addition, ACTV is a partner with Liberty Media in a
joint venture, LMC IATV Events, LLC, that will license and produce ``Individualized''
national and/or international marquee pay-per-view television events, including sports,
musical, theatrical and news programming. This programming will be distributed by Viewer's
Choice (now called iNDEMAND), the leading pay-per-view network.
ACTV's goal is to establish HyperTV and ``Individualized
Television'' as industry standards. To this end, the Company has built key strategic
relationships with industry leaders, including:
- Liberty Media Corporation
- General Instrument Corporation
- iNDEMAND
- FOX Sports Net
- The Box Music Network
Chairman - William Samuels
Chief Executive Officer - David Reese
Chief Operating Office - Joel Hassel
Chief Financial Officer - Chrisopher Cline
Chief Technology Officer - Kevin Liga
