UK, Newbury – January 7,
2007 – iPoint-media (AIM:IPNT), a
provider of live user content delivery platforms for web, mobile
and TV, announces that Singapore based MediaCorp Pte. Ltd. has
broadcast its first TV show using the company's mobile 3G
live interactive participation TV solution. 'The Sheng Siong
Show', a variety show airing Saturday nights on MediaCorp TV
Channel 8, allows viewers to video call into the show from
their 3G phones to participate live in competitions and have
the chance to win prizes.
Joseph Daniel, iPoint-media's
VP, Sales & Marketing, commented:
"MediaCorp is the first major
broadcaster in Asia Pacific to take advantage of our
GOliveTV solution to introduce new TV show formats based on
live viewer interaction and user generated content. We look
forward to working closely with MediaCorp as they continue
to develop other new participation TV shows."
iPoint-media announced
several months ago that MediaCorp had signed a 'software as
a service' (SAAS) agreement with the Company for the
provision of GOliveTV services.

participation TV solution enables television broadcasters to
create new interactive TV show formats that make viewers the
