“Global Media Corp… is pleased to announce that in
creating a series of entertainment portals, it now has within its
Internet Community over one million customers regularly operating
and listening to the Global Media Player.”

“Global Media Corp… an Internet company which provides
e-commerce and streaming tools for companies looking to establish
interactive audio video web sites, has partnered with some of the
Internet’s biggest companies. Today it also announces that it has
increased its signed number of new Business-to-Business Network
Associates by over thirty (30). These include Moviehead.com (an
integrated movie site, rated as one of the top 10 on the Net,
receiving 100,000 unique visitors a day) and MP3board.com (MP3’s
site extraordinaire, receiving 800,000 hits a day).”

“Global Media has experienced an impressive surge in its number
of Network Associates. It has signed up more Associates this month
than in any preceding month,” said Michael Metcalfe, Global Media’s
Chairman and President. “This follows our recent prestigious Linux
award and media recognition. Global Media has now made the leap
from start-up to industry leader. All one has to do is really study
the impressive amount of traffic that is coming into our portal to
see why it makes good sense — the two drivers of this business are
people and entertainment. It appears we are handling these very
successfully at Global Media.”
