(April 30) BUSINESS WIRE -April 30, 1999--USA Video Interactive (NASD:USVO) (ASE:US) and Lucerne Media have agreed to partner in a pilot program to digitize three of Lucerne's most popular educational video series, install them on the USA Video Interactive server at LEARN and elsewhere, and make them available via LEARN's Intranet network including remote access by the region's magnet schools.

Lucerne acquires programs for distribution from independent producers and corporations worldwide, and also co-produces programming to meet the specific needs of the educational, public library, and college market community. The videos being provided by Lucerne Media include the six-part Teens At Risk series; the four-part Meet The Seasons series; and the six-part The Changing Face of Asia series. "With the addition of these videos from Lucerne Media to our server, we now can provide students with some of the best available content in Guidance, Health, Social Services and Language Arts," said Edwin Molina, President of USA Video Interactive. "We are now in the unique position of being able to provide a complete package of servers and educational content with true Video-on-Demand(tm) to schools and universities throughout the world."
