Packages Offer Features Unparalleled in Live, Online Media 

NEW YORK, June 3, 2009 – BlogTalkRadio, a rapidly-emerging broadcast medium, is taking streaming audio to new levels with the launch of two premium-service packages.

For the first time since its inception, the network is offering enhanced features such as call-screening, toll-free domestic out-dialing, site-wide graphic promotion, and extended show length.

Both packages are available to BlogTalkRadio’s more than 50,000 registered hosts, as well as to future users. Hosts who sign up for either package in June will receive the service free through July 1, 2009.

“The escalating erosion of traditional media is sending more and more individual producers online, which in turn means that creating well-produced content is increasingly important,” said BlogTalkRadio CEO Alan Levy. “These premium services are in response to the need from scores of hosts – many of whom use our platform to help market their core businesses, books, ideas and more.”

The network’s Premium Package, available for $39.95 per month, or at a discounted annual rate of $399, offers seven new features:

·   Switchboard Moderation: Allows hosts and their production staffs to screen incoming calls from the switchboard, as well as add notes to help flag repeat problem callers.

·   Click-to-Host: Hosts are able to use BlogTalkRadio’s internal VoIP system, their computer, an internet connection and headset to run their shows – all without a telephone.

·   Switchboard Out-dialing: Provides toll-free outbound calls to U.S. telephone numbers, and fee-based calls to international numbers. Hosts can conference-in guests by dialing from the switchboard.

·   Post-Production Update: Download, edit and replace archived shows with edited versions. (Editing software and services not provided.)

·   Site-wide Graphic Promotion: The host’s logo is put in rotation on the network’s promotional widget, which is run 2,500 times per month across the site. By clicking on the widget, listeners are linked back to the host’s profile page.

·   Extended Show Length: Hosts can schedule three-hour shows, rather than the standard two-hour maximum.

·   Instant Shows: Upload pre-recorded podcasts directly to profile pages without having to schedule a show.

The Premium-Plus Package, available for $99 per month, or at a discounted annual rate of $999, offers all the services in the Premium Package, as well as three additional features:

·   Priority Support: Hosts receive priority support for technical difficulties via the network’s Premium Support Desk, which is open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. EST.

·   Graphic Blitz: The host’s logo is put in rotation on the network’s promotional widget, which is run throughout the site an additional 2,500 times per month, for a total of 5,000 impressions. By clicking on the widget, listeners are linked back to the host’s profile page.

·   Ad-Free Zone: All host show pages will be free of audio and video advertisements (and only include standard banner ads).
