Just bought NTN. News out... NFL and NTN Team Up To Produce Interactive NFL Draft on April 18 Business Wire - April 17, 1998 14:23 %NTN-STUDIO %NFL NTN %CALIFORNIA %COMPUTERS %ELECTRONICS %COMED %INTERACTIVE %MULTIMEDIA %INTERNET %SPORTS %ENTERTAINMENT %TELECOMMUNICATIONS V%BW P%BW -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 17, 1998--The NTN Studio, the production division of NTN Communications, Inc. (AMEX:NTN), will produce an interactive NFL Draft prediction game on America Online (keyword: Team NFL), in conjunction with NFL Enterprises and ABC Sports. NTN's 1998 Draft IQ game can be played during the NFL Draft on Saturday, April 18, beginning at 12 noon (Eastern), 9 a.m. (Pacific). In addition to the NFL Draft prediction game, NTN is offering Pro Football trivia to entertain participants between draft picks. Both games will be offered within the Team NFL Cyberplex on America Online, which includes a chat auditorium, draftee profiles and expert draft analysis from Gil Brandt, former Dallas Cowboys director of player personnel. NTN's 1998 Draft IQ will encompass the top ten picks in the Draft. For each pick, participants will predict the next player selected in a five-question multiple choice format. The top four players most likely to be picked will be listed along with an "other" selection. "Other" means that the team picked a non-listed player or traded the pick to another team. Participant predictions will be "cut off" as NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue makes the official announcement for each Draft pick. The NFL will award prizes to top-scoring participants. "Events such as the NFL Draft truly show off NTN's unique ability to provide viewers with an opportunity to interact with live television," said Dan Purner, NTN vice president of new business development. "NTN's award-winning production team will work closely with our partners at the NFL, America Online and ABC Online to give pro football fans a real-time opportunity to select top picks along with the owners, general managers and coaches of NFL Teams." NTN has had a long-standing relationship with the National Football League. In 1984, the interactive television company launched QB1(R), a strategy game played live during televised NFL and collegiate football games. NTN holds a multi-year exclusive NFL license for QB1. The NTN Studio, a division of NTN Communications, Inc., (AMEX:NTN), is a leading producer and programmer of interactive television, online and Internet entertainment.
