Three of the stars of Disney-Pixar's exciting new computer-animated feature "CARS" arrived in Hollywood for the opening weekend of the film and a special midnight screening on June 9, 2006 at Disney's El Capitan Theater. The life-sized models, part of Disney-Pixar's "CARS Road Trip 06" experience presented by State Farm(R), were a major hit at the World Premiere of Disney-Pixar's "CARS" on May 26 in Charlotte, NC at the Lowe's Motor Speedway. The touring experience, which was designed and is being managed by the Becker Group, will continue to cross the country throughout the summer and will travel to a total of over 40 cities.

The three stars ride in style via a special truck produced by the Becker Group and inspired by the character Mack. In fact, the tractor is provided by none other than Mack Trucks, Inc. "This experience brings to life the excitement and fun of 'CARS,' a film everyone in the family will enjoy," says Glenn Tilley, President of the Becker Group. The Becker Group is an award- winning experiential marketing company that has worked on many major films, but "CARS" marks the first time they have literally taken the stars on a cross country road trip. "We have really enjoyed working alongside such world-class organizations as Disney-Pixar, State Farm and Mack Trucks, Inc.," adds Tilley.

"CARS" tells the story of Lightning McQueen, a hotshot rookie racecar driven to succeed, who discovers that life is about the journey, not the finish line, when he finds himself unexpectedly detoured in the sleepy Route 66 town of Radiator Springs. On route across the country to the big Piston Cup Championship in California to compete against two seasoned pros, McQueen gets to know the town's offbeat characters who help him realize that there are more important things than trophies, fame and sponsorship. The all-star vocal cast includes free-wheeling performances by Paul Newman, Owen Wilson, Bonnie Hunt, "Larry the Cable Guy," Tony Shalhoub, Michael Keaton, George Carlin, Katherine Helmond, Cheech Marin, John Ratzenberger, Paul Dooley, Michael Wallis, Darrell Waltrip, Richard Petty, Jenifer Lewis and Jeremy Piven. Fueled with plenty of humor, action, heartfelt drama, and amazing new technical feats, "CARS" raced into theaters on June 9.

WEBER SHANDWICK FOR MICROSOFT

As the anticipation of their summer tour with the Counting Crows nears, the Goo Goo Dolls are ensconced in a Culver City soundstage meticulously planning their set, and rehearsing it religiously in an effort to deliver their best live performances to date for fans. But that is not all they will be delivering on the tour! The Goo Goo Dolls intend to deliver food to the hungry in each city they visit as they combine efforts with the U.S.A. Harvest organization once again.

Stan Curtis founded U.S.A. Harvest in 1989 in Louisville, Kentucky. From a simple beginning, and a mindset to feed the hungry, the organization has expanded across the nation through the efforts of more than 125,000 volunteers, and now has chapters in over 130 cities and towns from New York to Los Angeles, from Minneapolis/St. Paul to Miami.

Says Stan Curtis about his organization, "U.S.A. Harvest is now serving over 5,400 agencies nationwide and our volunteers have provided over 11.6 BILLION POUNDS of food to these deserving organizations. And by doing so, we've helped them save millions of dollars that have been re-allocated to other extremely important needs such as clothing, shelter, job training and opportunities, drug and alcohol rehabilitation and counseling programs."

Curtis knows however that the hungry exist everywhere in this country, and it makes perfect sense to have the Goo Goo Dolls on board this summer. "This tour is far reaching, and coupled with the high awareness that follows this band wherever they go, and the cities the tour will visit makes the fit just perfect for us! John Rzeznik came to me with his goal to feed a million people this summer -- I believe we can do it," says Curtis about the Goos.

"It's an organization and cause we are passionate about," says Goo Goo Dolls guitarist and vocalist John Rzeznik, adding, "Stan and U.S.A. Harvest are about moving food from people who have too much, to those who have much too little." Goo Goo Dolls bassist, Robby Takac, concurs, "Simply put: This summer we're hoping our fans have too much in the cupboard when we roll through town -- and make a point to bring plenty of canned food the day of the show."

There should be plenty of opportunity to do just that, as the North American tour begins on June 21 in Portland, Oregon and will span 4 months running through September 9 in Dallas, Texas. In total, the tour will visit over 45 cities across the US and Canada. The band is encouraging anyone planning on attending the show to simply bring canned food and drop it off at the entrance of the venue -- that's it. Goo's drummer Mike Malinin notes that, "U.S.A. Harvest is not a fundraising charitable concern, they are food raisers, and that's what counts."

The Goo Goo Dolls, John Rzeznik (vocals, guitar), Robby Takac (bass) and Mike Malinin (drums), have evolved from a scrappy punk-influenced trio into the platinum-selling, chart-topping act behind such radio staples as "Name," "Iris," "Slide," and "Here Is Gone." The band just completed a whirlwind promotional tour in support of the release of their eighth album "Let Love In," featuring the anthemic hit "Better Days," a rousing cover of "Give A Little Bit," and the emotional new single "Stay With You." "Let Love In" was released on Warner Bros. Records April 25. The Goo Goo Dolls performed a full slate of television appearances over the last couple of months, including "Regis & Kelly" (April 28), "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" (April 27), "The Tony Danza Show" (May 2) and the "Tonight Show with Jay Leno" (May 16). It was the band's record breaking 14th appearance on "Leno" that night. The band will next be appearing on CDUSA June 17 and will also make a special appearance on "Extra" in the coming weeks.

Few albums in the history of American music have ever had the far-reaching and lasting artistic impact of superstar JANET JACKSON's 1986 "Control." From its empowered message and songcraft, to its genre-defining production, and the extraordinarily compelling emergence of the singer as a musically complete artist, "Control" was immediately greeted as the watershed album -- and Jackson the definitive artist -- in no less than three distinct musical categories -- pop, R&B and hip-hop.

With the hotly anticipated release of the new JANET JACKSON album "20 YEARS OLD" scheduled this September on Virgin Records, her new work promises to be no less influential, as Jackson teams with the most successful pop/R&B producer of the post-2000 period, Jermaine 'JD' Dupri, and longtime friends and hitmakers Jimmy "Jam" Harris and Terry Lewis, her original collaborators on "Control." The four now make up an unparalleled dream team of talent behind the microphone and the mixing board. Just as "Control" marked a personal rebirth and a smashing creative achievement twenty years ago, "20 YEARS OLD" celebrates, at once, two decades of continued growth, as well as the essential newness of creativity. The set's lead single, "Call on Me," featuring St. Louis hip-hop star Nelly, will arrive at radio on June 19th.

The six powerful and innovative hit songs and videos that came off "Control" -- "What Have You Done for Me Lately," "Nasty," "When I Think of You," "The Pleasure Principle," the title track, and "Let's Wait Awhile" -- were minutely examined by fans and young performers, and they launched a thousand admirers and imitators through the balance of the Eighties and the Nineties. Jackson's revolutionary video clips have continued to be acknowledged as the true classics of the music video era, whose dance style and cinematic production values set the bar higher than anyone had ever dared attempt.

Still, for young female listeners, it was the imaginative and liberated lyric content that resonated most -- just the way that the producers and co-writers Jam & Lewis realized it would, as Jackson's witty, honest and intimate poems took shape as songs in their Minneapolis-based Flyte Tyme studio in late 1985. "Control" sold over 5 million copies in the U.S. alone in just three and a half years -- at which time Jackson and Jam & Lewis rocked the world again with the follow-up album, "Rhythm Nation 1814."

With the collective track record involved, there's no way to avoid high expectations for the upcoming album -- and no reason to. "20 YEARS OLD" is a sure thing to throw down the new standards, blow a new generation of minds, light a fire under every young artist, and rock the party. "Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are musical powerhouses," says Dupri. "Our individual success have been unparalleled and have kept music fans bouncing to our beats and singing our songs for years. The world has no idea what they are about to experience -- Janet has the best production trio possible -- and I guarantee, we will deliver!"

Image Entertainment, Inc. (Nasdaq:DISK), a leading independent licensee, producer and distributor of home entertainment programming in North America, and CAID Productions, an independent Brooklyn-based production company, today announced the DVD world premiere of "Just For Kicks." Based on an original idea from Come Chantrel, "Just For Kicks." is the first documentary to reveal the cultural influences behind the nation's sneaker obsession. With a perspective from the ground up, Hip-Hop superstars, athletes, brand gurus and compulsive collectors share their opinions on why athletic footwear has left the sports arena to become the most important fashion accessory of the last 30 years.

Diverse media and audiences have lauded this award-winning documentary for its colorful insider's view of the sneaker phenomenon, and its original analysis of the incestuous relationship that sneaker brands maintain with Hip-Hop and urban culture. Although initially created as a straight-to-DVD project, Executive Producer Thierry Daher has secured global distribution through Canal+ and Studio Canal in Europe, SpikeTV in North America, MTV in Latin America, Presidio in Japan and Yes TV in Israel. Image Entertainment distributes the DVD in North America, and sub-licensee Warner Music distributes the DVD in Australia and New Zealand. The film aired on Spike TV in its 64 minute TV version in March of 2006. Previously, the film premiered last year at the Tribeca Film Festival and has since screened in over 35 cities on 5 continents, including over a dozen of the most prestigious film festivals worldwide. Most recently, "Just For Kicks." was named Winner- Best Documentary Award by the 2006 New Jersey International Film Festival.

"Just For Kicks." is a 100% independent production. The movie is executive producers Thierry Daher and Come Chantrel's first experience in the film industry. Daher, a compulsive entrepreneur with an impressive track record in international marketing and technology deals, ensured financing and global distribution. Chantrel, also co-writer of the film, created the editorial line and leveraged production contacts with top Hip-Hop players. Having worked in the music, fashion and entertainment industries for over 15 years, he has an unparalleled track record for breaking ground in lifestyle, viral and street marketing. Co-director and cinematographer Lisa Leone began her career as a photographer, shooting celebrities such as Moby, Lauryn Hill, and Spike Lee. As a cinematographer, Leone has shot a number of independent films and served as Second Unit Director for Stanley Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut." Writer and co-director Thibaut de Longeville is best known for producing the acclaimed documentary "Battlegrounds Paris," a film about Nike's annual one-on-one playground basketball tournament in Paris. In 1995 he founded 360, the Paris-based communications that produces creative content for music, sports, and entertainment brands including Nike, Virgin Records, Sony, Universal, and MTV.

"Just For Kicks." DVD Special Bonus Features include over two hours of exclusive footage featuring DJ/Author/Sneaker collector Bobbito Garcia, former Knicks player and style master Walt "Clyde" Frazier, Nike Air Jordan Designer Tinker Hatfield, Hip-Hop and fashion mogul Russell Simmons, recording artist Rev. Run and much more.

"Just for Kicks." Synopsis

Since B-Boys first propelled them out of the New York City playgrounds in the 70's, sneakers have morphed from a tool for athletic performance to Hip-Hop's cornerstone symbol of cool and an object of obsession for sneakers collectors worldwide. Analyzing this global pop culture phenomenon, "Just For Kicks." is the first film of its kind to present the underlying culture and personalities that fueled this fashion revolution and its $30 billion global market. Far from a formal history of the sneaker industry, "Just For Kicks." offers a fun and colorful insider's history of Hip-Hop's most treasured fashion item, revealing behind-the-scenes stories with exclusive testimonies, never-before-seen footage, and the charismatic personalities that have come to influence pop culture. -0-

His other TV credits include "Barbary Coast," "The Fall Guy," "Knight Rider," "Glitter" and "Street Hawk."

Praise for "CYXORK 7" has been universal.

"Andreas and I have been working non-stop on all the details for the DVD release of the film," said John Huff. "Like new parents, we are very proud of this film and want to be personally involved in the packaging and distribution of the DVD. No good parent releases their child to the world without some supervision."

Nielsen Analytics, part of VNU's Media Measurement & Information division, and the Movie Advisory Board, a joint initiative between Nielsen Entertainment and MovieTickets.com, today released The Modern Movie Experience, a new study that explores how shifting consumer behavior and digital technologies are affecting the theatrical film business. The analysis is the first in a series of reports from Nielsen Analytics examining "uber-media consumers" -- the most avid users of media on multiple platforms -- and how they are driving change across the entertainment industry.

The analysis was based on a survey of more than 2,500 moviegoers nationwide. It concluded that, while recent declines in motion picture attendance are due largely to a perceived disconnect between the price moviegoers pay, both in money and time, and the value they derive, an equally important challenge to the movie industry comes from new forms of digital distribution. Key findings include:

* Despite concerns about the potential for new technologies to disrupt

traditional business models, the primary reasons given by respondents

for the drop in movie theater attendance all relate to a new equation of

decision-making for the moviegoers. Paying attendees assess movie

quality, price and the cost of their time as they decide whether to see

a movie outside of the home.

* The more avid a moviegoer, the less of an impact experimentation with

non-theatrical distribution platforms has on moviegoing; and conversely,

the lighter the moviegoer the greater the impact.

* Moviegoers who attend films in a traditional theater setting more than

five times a year were less likely to have downloaded, rented or bought

a DVD or VOD than lighter moviegoers.

* However, moviegoers who attend films in a traditional theater setting

more than five times a year rent more DVDs on an annual basis than

lighter moviegoers.

"Although the ebbs and flows in the fortunes of the movie business are nothing new, the forces currently buffeting the industry are raising fears of a fundamental and lasting sea change," said Larry Gerbrandt, general manager and SVP of Nielsen Analytics. "By focusing our research on the 'Uber-Media Consumer' - or those at the forefront of change in media and entertainment consumption who are uniquely faced with abundant choice - we aim to provide new insights into where such change may lead the media industry, as well as how the industry can best respond and adapt."

"The shared experience of movies is starting to feel anachronistic with increasing abundance of choice and control," said Adrienne Becker, GM Nielsen Entertainment's Strategic Development Group. "But as the motion picture industry turns to digital distribution, all players have an interest in identifying and developing the levers of sustainability for that shared experience. This analysis focuses on some areas which need to be re- calibrated, and at the same time, highlights the point that elements of community - such as the theatrical experience - will not go away; but we will have to work at it."

Report Findings: Moviegoing, Digital Distribution and Windows

"The Modern Movie Experience" provides an in-depth look at recent trends and metrics among changing moviegoers, specifically the moviegoing experience, the impact of digital technologies, and the simultaneous distribution of movies across multiple windows of exhibition. Among its principal findings:

* Among those who said they attended fewer movies this year than last

year, the top reasons given were that the quality of movies are

disappointing, ticket and concession prices are too high, and most

interestingly, their lifestyles have changed.

* All varieties of moviegoers appear to be willing to try and buy movies

across multiple platforms; therefore the fine tuning of windows can have

either a cannibalistic or expansive effect on revenues depending on each

consumer's prior affinity for moviegoing.

- Fifty-three percent of respondents said they would still go to the

theater and not skip theatrical releases if a movie was released in

theaters and on DVD simultaneously.

- Another thirty-six percent said they would skip theatrical releases

altogether and rent the movie on DVD instead if a movie were released

on both platforms simultaneously.

- Twelve percent said they would go to the theater but not buy the DVD.

* Because of their lack of commitment to the in-theater movie experience,

and lack of passion for moviegoing in and of itself relative to other

age segments, younger movie consumers (18-24) possess the greatest

threat to the exhibition community and the greatest opportunity for

those involved in emerging platforms of film consumption.

* The respondents who are most susceptible to alternative forms of movie

consumption, driven by new technologies and subsequent changes in movie

distribution windows, are those who attend films 1 - 5 times a year.

Lighter moviegoers were more likely to have downloaded, rented, or

bought a DVD or OnDemand movie than heavier moviegoers. According to

the survey, 18 percent of moviegoers have already downloaded at least

one full-length film.

* Those who go to movies most often (10 or more times a year) are less

likely to be swayed by changes in movie windows or delivery platforms as

they are passionate enough, and therefore more committed, to moviegoing.

But attempts to compensate for box office declines by raising ticket and

concession prices will hit this same group the hardest.

* At a time when movie theaters face growing competition for audiences'

time and dollars, the quality of the moviegoing experience is becoming

increasingly important. Every effort needs to be made to manage all

aspects of the theatrical experience - from the consumer's point of view

- which are tractable. Respondents overwhelmingly indicated that they

select a movie theater based primarily on two factors - a wide selection

of movies, and a clean and comfortable setting from which to watch them.

In the age of consumer as entertainment programmer, respondents also provided new insights into how digital distribution platforms are influencing their movie-watching experience. Highlights include:

* Nearly half of moviegoers reported "frequently" purchasing the DVD of a

film they saw in the theater. This number jumps to 83 percent when

those who indicated they "sometimes" buy the DVD of a film they saw in

the theater are included.

* Conversely, only 13 percent of respondents said they frequently rent the

DVD of a film they have already seen in the theater.

* More than half of respondents have ordered movies through VOD services,

having ordered an average of 4.3 VOD movies in the last twelve months.

* Digital projection presents opportunities to expand film theater

offerings to include both new movie and non-movie experiences, but

perhaps the greater opportunity is using digital capabilities to better

serve the traditional film customers, employing content that is more

relevant to the particular audience members based on their demographics

and preferences.

Methodology

The "Modern Movie Experience" study was based on a survey designed by Nielsen Analytics and Nielsen Entertainment that was completed by 2,687 members of the Movie Advisory Board (MAB) between Feb-March 2006. The MAB is a moviegoer community comprised of consumers who either buy movie tickets online or who search for movie information online, formed from a partnership between Nielsen Entertainment and MovieTickets.com, a leading Internet movie ticketing service.

The survey oversampled some of the movie industry's best customers, with 70% attending a movie 10 times or more over the past 12 months. According to the National Research Group's (Nielsen NRG) Benchmark Study, this compares with an average of 6-7 movies seen per year among a national sample of moviegoers, versus about 8 in prior years. Additionally, 52% reported attending movies very often or often on opening weekend.

Clint Eastwood, two-time Academy Award(R) winning producer and director, will receive the prestigious Founders Award from the Motion Picture & Television Fund Golden Boot Committee. The award will be presented to Eastwood at the 24th annual Golden Boot Awards to be held August 12 at The Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Eastwood, a past recipient of The Golden Boot for his acting career, is only the second director to be presented with the Founders Award, following in the footsteps of the legendary John Ford. The Founders Award, which is not presented every year, will be one of the highlights of this year's awards presentation.

Often referred to as the "Academy Awards of the Western," the Golden Boot Awards were established to recognize those performers, stunt people, producers and directors who have furthered the tradition of the Western on film and in television.

Since their inception in 1982, the Golden Boot Awards have contributed more than $3.9 million to the Motion Picture & Television Fund.

The non-profit Motion Picture & Television Fund, headquartered in Woodland Hills, Calif., was founded in 1921 to provide "relief" for those in the film industry who had fallen on hard times. Today, 85 years later, MPTF is a major service provider supporting the health and well being of the entertainment community. Healthcare, childcare, retirement living and social/charitable services are offered with compassion and respect for the dignity of the whole person. Care is offered through the MPTF 250-bed hospital, five outpatient health centers, charitable financial assistance and community outreach programs, a full-scale retirement community and a children's day care center.

Each Installation to Include a Jampro UHF Antenna, Combiner and Mask Filter

Sacramento, CA (June 13, 2006) – Following on the heels of a successful multi-system installation earlier this year that enabled Latin America’s first digital TV transmission, TV Azteca, one of the region’s largest TV networks, has awarded Jampro Antenna / RF Systems of Sacramento another contract to provide an additional six turnkey antenna installations,

Azteca's New Technologies Engineering Group reported that the previous Jampro turnkey systems, commissioned for stations in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey, exceeded their performance expectations and led to the new contract. Jampro's latest award calls for six complete installations consisting of multi-channel JUHD UHF broadband panel antennas and UHF Prostar slot antennas. Each of the six comprehensive transmitters to tower installations include Jampro mask filters, combiners, patch panel-power splitters and rigid line transmission systems.

Jampro's JUHD panel antenna comes DTV-Ready and its Prostar line of UHF slot antennas are compatible with DTV transmissions as well as NTSC and PAL broadcasts, thus laying the groundwork for TV Azteca's growing digital capability. Integral to the six antenna installations are Jampro mask filters and combiner modules. Jampro mask filter-constant impedance channel combiners provide DTV mask filtering with the ability to combine additional analog or digital UHF TV transmitters while the company's UHF combiner modules have proven valuable to TV Azteca for bandpass and channel combining applications at sites where the small size of the module is critical to the installation.

At the recent NAB conference in Las Vegas, Jampro showcased its turnkey systems capability. "Particularly over the past several years, we have seen a dramatic rise in the number of domestic and international TV and radio networks that require complete design through commissioning services. Just like TV Azteca, there's no question that customers are aware of the bottom line savings and, perhaps more importantly, the time efficiencies of allowing one organization to fabricate the entire transmitter to antenna end of their business,” said Alex Perchevitch, Jampro's President.

TV Azteca is headquartered Mexico City and owned by Television Azteca S.A. De C.V. The network enjoys national coverage throughout Mexico. TV Azteca is also available in parts of the southern United States via broadcast or digital cable. Its subsidiary, Azteca America is the fastest growing television network in the United Sates. Earlier this year, the CRTC approved Azteca 13 as a third-language channel to broadcast via digital paid TV throughout Canada. The network also operates Azteca 13 Internacional, which reaches 13 countries in Central and South America.

-- In antitrust counterclaims filed today in federal court in San Francisco, Blockbuster Inc. (NYSE:BBI) (NYSE:BBI.B) alleges that the lawsuit filed against its online service by Netflix, Inc. is based on unenforceable patents that Netflix obtained through deceptive practices in an attempt to monopolize the online rental business.

"There is nothing original about renting movies or subscription rental programs. Both were widely practiced long before any purported invention by Netflix. For Netflix to claim exclusive rights over subscription movie rentals is like a fast-food restaurant trying to patent selling hamburgers through a drive-through window," said Marshall B. Grossman, of Alschuler Grossman, Stein & Kahan in Los Angeles, the firm representing Blockbuster in the litigation. "As for Netflix's so-called 'dynamic' queue, we are convinced it is not legally patentable. We think it is obvious that if you are going to provide subscription rentals over the Internet, you have to let your customers list the items they want to receive and enable them to periodically update their lists."

The claims filed by Blockbuster against Netflix also allege that Netflix
