NEW YORK - CSTV kicked off the 2005 college sports season in record-breaking fashion, driving the media revolution that is changing the way college sports fans stay connected to their favorite teams and schools.  In the just released September, 2005 Nielsen Netratings, CSTV has the highest year-over-year and month-over-month audience growth of all sports networks.  For the first time - with nearly 6.5 million unique visitors -- the company also delivered over 10% of unique users from all sports sites in the aggregate.

"College sports is a category that is uniquely positioned to benefit from broadband access," said Brian Bedol, CEO of CSTV Networks.  "There are millions of passionate fans with personal preferences who are now able to follow their favorite teams and sports at anytime, from anywhere, thanks to the CSTV digital media platform."

CSTV's recent launch of its College Football "All-Access" broadband package is also experiencing unprecedented success for an online paid subscription property.  In its first month of operation, "All-Access" generated over 30,000 monthly and annual subscribers for exclusive live games, special features and archived programming across CSTV's Partner Network which includes USC, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Georgia and more.  "All-Access" subscriber growth is expected to accelerate with the launch of live college hockey and basketball games into the package. 

CSTV's record-setting September carried through its entire network of websites, as the company served over 6.4 million unique users, an increase of 48% from the prior month [August] and nearly 30% from September, 2004 - the greatest increases of any major online sports network - putting CSTV.com into a virtual tie with SI.COM (Sports Illustrated's website] and ahead of AOL Sports, Sportsline and NASCAR in the Top 10.  Additionally, the company's 150 million page views  in September, an increase of 33% over the prior year, also set a new monthly record.  Notwithstanding the dramatic traffic increase, the network was able to maintain its unique demographic profile as the Number One sports site on the Internet for those with post-grad degrees and those in executive or managerial positions.

Aside from record traffic and subscription growth, CSTV also set an all-time September record for online retail sales, with over $1 million in college sports merchandise sales.  Top contributors were the company's online stores for Notre Dame Fighting Irish, USC Trojan and North Carolina Tarheel merchandise.
