Narrowstep(TM) Inc Announces the Launch of telvOS(TM)-Based GolfBug.tv at the London Golf Show

24-Hour Golfing Broadband TV Channel Transmits From the Show Daily Using the Company's Powerful Television Operating System(TM)

LONDON and NEW YORK, April 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Narrowstep(TM) Inc (BULLETIN BOARD: NRWS) , the TV on the Internet Company, in association with Brand Live TV, announced that it launched GolfBug.tv, a new 24-hour broadband TV channel, with the commencement of the London Golf Show, Europe's largest consumer golf show. The channel is transmitting highlights daily, from the show, which runs from April 27-30 at ExCeL London, the Dockland's exhibition center.

The channel, accessible at www.golfbug.tv, provides enthusiasts with an informative and entertaining daily schedule of programming featuring areas of interest for players of all levels.

The Managing Director of GolfBug.tv, Andrew Cooke, explained, "The channel combines news from the pro tours, expert tuition, information on the world's best courses and resorts, interviews with leading golf figures, as well as reviews of the latest equipment. There are also live and on-demand broadcasts of great action from events, old and new, and GolfBug.tv will look to carry on the fun and humor that golfers share at the weekend."

Cooke continued, "Using telvOS(TM), Narrowstep's dynamic server technology, we have found that television over Internet Protocol combines the best of traditional broadcasting with the user-control and interaction expected from a website. Therefore, our viewers will be able to watch a daily schedule of programming, but also view video content, live as well as on-demand, when and where they wish: at home, at work or while traveling."

Steve Beaumont, CEO Narrowstep, said, "We think GolfBug.tv is a tremendous concept as it will clearly appeal to the golfing community. This is the first channel of its kind for the sport, thus moving it away from the traditional TV platform to broadband and thus making the channel available throughout the world. We feel certain that it will also appeal to industry advertisers and manufacturers, as well as to tourism boards, golf courses and tournament organizers thereby creating numerous ways in which GolfBug.tv can monetize its content."

Ofcom, the British telecommunications regulator, states that there are now more than 10 million broadband connections in the UK and this figure has been growing by 70,000 a week. This exceeds the number of people who have access to the Sky Digital platform highlighting how broadband television is the way of the future.
