China
Broadband, Inc. ("CBBD") announces through its China-based subsidiary, Jinan
Zhong Kuan Dian Guang Information Co. Ltd. ("Jinan"), that it has completed
the
acquisition, through a joint venture entity, of Shandong Radio &
Broadcasting Newspaper Group ("Shandong Group") for approximately $4 million
(based on current exchange rates).
Shandong
Group is a China-based publisher of digital and analog television program
guides, newspapers and entertainment magazines. It holds the exclusive license
to publish television program guides in Shandong Province, which is one of
the
largest regional economies in China.
The
Company's long term goal is to acquire local TV program guide providers (both
in
print media and digital media formats) and bundle them with cable broadband
and
interactive TV offerings following the government's mandate to convert analog
TV
to digital TV in all major cities by 2008 and throughout China by 2015. Cable
TV
value-added service is a rapidly growing market in China and includes cable
broadband, electronic program guides, home shopping, interactive TV
entertainment such as VOD, and interactive digital TV advertising.
Marc
Urbach, president of China Broadband, Inc., commented: "I am extremely excited
about our acquisition of our stake in the Shandong Group which we will operate
through a joint venture with them. Besides the obvious great synergies that
will
be created between our two companies, I think there are tremendous expansion
possibilities in the magazine sector. Moving from an almost exclusively
subscription based model to one that incorporates advertising holds great growth
potential. We are very excited to continue our evolution into what we hope
will
be one of the strongest media companies in China".
