NEW YORK--(ENTERTAINMNET WIRE)--Feb. 1, 1999--Unapix Productions, a newly formed division of Unapix Entertainment, Inc. (AMEX: UPX - news), has concluded its first network television deal, announced Mike Fleiss, executive producer. Unapix will produce SHOCKING BEHAVIOR: CAUGHT ON TAPE, which will air on Thursday, February 25th (9:00 -10:00 p.m. ET/PT) on the Fox Network during February sweeps.

The one-hour special will highlight surprising and often hilarious footage of people captured in various incriminating or embarrassing situations. Vignettes include: an angry parking valet urinating into a customer's gas tank; a lock of the cook's hair falls into the pot, so he wrings it out into soup; and a college student caught strolling naked through the cafeteria.

''We made a significant investment to form Unapix Productions last summer, with the primary objective of breaking into the network television market, a task that has been accomplished with great rapidity. We were confident that Unapix Productions would prove successful, and are pleased that we are on track with our projected time line for the division,'' commented Herbert M. Pearlman, Chairman and CEO of Unapix Entertainment. ''We're looking forward to Unapix Productions generating more exciting network projects like this one.''

Unapix Productions began operations last July under the direction of President Jim Coane. Its mission is to produce network and creative television programming for domestic and international markets. Mr. Fleiss, a veteran producer with an exclusive, long-term agreement with Unapix has a track record that includes writing, developing, and producing primetime networks shows for ABC, NBC, FOX-TV, CBS, PBS, TNT, The Discovery Channel and The Learning Channel.

Unapix Entertainment Inc. (AMEX: UPX/www.unapixent.com) is a global entertainment company specializing in producing, licensing and distributing market-driven feature films, television programming and special interest home videos in all media worldwide. The Company also distributes its product in niche markets via the Internet and other new electronic media.
