Televisa Expands Use of Onstream Media’s User Generated Video Services

- Onstream Media Delivers More than One Quarter Billion Videos for Televisa

                                     -



    POMPANO BEACH, Fla., Aug. 6 /EMWNews/ -- Onstream Media

Corporation (Nasdaq: ONSM), a leading online service provider of live and

on-demand digital media communications and applications, reported today

that Televisa, the largest media company in the Spanish-speaking world, is

expanding its multi-year business relationship with Onstream Media.

Televisa is currently using Onstream Media's Digital Media Services

Platform (DMSP) to facilitate the automated uploading, transcoding, hosting

and streaming of user-generated video content within its Esmas social

network portal. The new services will enable Televisa's audience to

experience videos of increased quality as a result of applying higher bit

rates, larger frame sizes, aspect ratios and improved codecs. Televisa is

expected to use these high-quality video capabilities for new projects

currently in development related to their Television production division.



    Juan Bernardo Gonzalez Mendoza, Director of Technology of Televisa

Digital, stated, "Onstream Media is one of our more important vendors,

providing us with a solid and scalable platform for which we have grown our

user-generated video business. The Esmas social network depends on the

reliability and versatility of its integrated technologies to give our

audience the best user experience possible. Onstream Media continues to

meet our demanding requirements."



    "Our business relationship with Televisa continues to grow," said Randy

Selman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Onstream Media. "Our DMSP

now supports hundreds of thousands of video views per day and has processed

and delivered hundreds of millions of videos for Televisa and its various

divisions since we began the service. We continue to innovate and improve

our service offerings and as a result of both our ongoing development

activities and recent technology acquisitions, we are able to continue to

meet the expanding and changing needs of our major clients such as

Televisa."
