POMPANO BEACH, FL – April 26, 2007 – Onstream Media Corporation ( OTC: ONSM), a leading online service provider of live and on-demand, digital media communications and applications, today announced a partnership with the National Hockey League (NHL) to provide instant video uploading and delivery services as part of a new user generated video promotion entitled, "Canada's SuperFan,” sponsored by Bud Light. The NHL employed part of Onstream Media's Digital Media Services Platform (DMSP) which provides a comprehensive suite of tools that automate the uploading, transcoding, hosting and streaming of both user-generated video content as well as professional video productions over the Internet. Onstream’s DMSP automatically supports a wide variety of media player formats and end-user devices and connection bandwidths to ensure a universal, high-quality digital media experience. “Adding rich social media capabilities, like user-generated video submissions, is an ideal way for the NHL and its sponsors to develop and extend their relationship with fans,” said Randy Selman, president and chief executive officer of Onstream Media. “Needless to say, we’re excited to be working with the NHL and look forward to extending our relationship and providing even greater new media capabilities, such as video search, indexing, encoding and ad insertion capabilities to more effectively monetize their content and increase viewer stickiness over time.” The contest encourages Canadian residents to upload personal videos onto the NHL Connect community site, located at http://fans.nhl.com/nhlconnect/CanadasSuperfan, showing why they should be considered Canada’s most blatant NHL Super Fan. The individual with the winning video entry will receive a trip for two, accommodations, air travel and two tickets to attend Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals. You must be 21 years of age or above and a resident of Canada, excluding Quebec, to enter the contest which is open now through May 22, 2007.
