The
National Lacrosse League launches the NLL Network, an online grid of 13 channels streamed
online at NLL.com. The channels will
feature live, high-quality online video broadcasts of NLL regular season and playoff
games for the 2009 season at no cost to the viewer. Fans will be able to embed their
favorite team’s channel on MySpace, Facebook or other websites making the NLL the
first professional sports league to virally broadcast live games. The NLL has selected
Mogulus Pro platform to power the NLL Network.

The NLL Network launched last Saturday with the first three games of the NLL season.
Viewers are able to easily change channels and watch multiple games at once with the
user friendly grid on NLL.com. A chat feature will allow fans to communicate with
each other while watching live broadcasts of the games. Eight regular season games
will be broadcast live on NLL.com this coming weekend. Games throughout the season
may be subject to blackout restrictions. In addition to the 12 team channels, the
NLL Network will also feature a league channel. The launch of NLL Network was in conjunction
with the re-launch of NLL.com including the league’s online community and fantasy
game.

Samsung and Yahoo! announce
a new Internet-based service to Samsung televisions available in the spring of 2009.
Select models in Samsung’s 2009 flat-panel HDTV line-up will be powered by the Yahoo!
Widget Engine, a fifth-generation applications platform that enables TV watchers to
interact with and enjoy a rich set of “TV Widgets.” TV Widgets make it easy to interact
with Internet content and services to complement and enhance the traditional TV viewing
experience. The lightweight Javascript and XML applications bring content, information
and community features available on the Internet within easy reach of the remote control.
The new televisions will be displayed at CES 2009 in Samsung’s booth located at Central
Hall, Booth #11033.

Select models in Samsung’s 2009 flat-panel HDTV lines will support the new TV Widget
service, called “Internet@TV – Content Service.” The service, which adapts the Yahoo!
Widget Engine, enables users to engage in a variety of experiences that traditionally
could only be enjoyed on a PC. Not only will users be able to track their stock portfolio
and stay on top of headline news, but they may also browse through videos, share photos
and interact with friends. Users can access the service by connecting the HDTV to
a home network via the built-in Ethernet port or using an optional Wi-Fi USB dongle.

The suite of TV Widgets range from a host of Yahoo! properties, including Flickr,
Yahoo! News, Yahoo! Weather and Yahoo! Finance, to third-party content from well-known
brands, including USA TODAY, YouTube, eBay and Showtime Networks among others. The
content and services offered will grow to include video streaming and other popular
internet services.

Developers worldwide will be able to develop and deploy TV Widgets for the television
by using the open-platform Widget Development Kit. At the same time, Samsung will
continue to provide high-performing TV hardware so that developers can easily deploy
widgets on Samsung HDTVs. Samsung and Yahoo! will expand their collaboration further
to bring more developers to the Internet@TV –Content Service and build an open ecosystem
where more developers can create various TV Widgets for consumers to enjoy on their
televisions.

Samsung HDTVs with the Yahoo! Widget Engine and TV Widgets will be available in 13
countries in 2009 including the U.S, Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom, Germany, France,
Italy, Spain, The Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. This provides
publishers and developers the opportunity to create exciting TV Widget experiences
that will reach and engage millions of Samsung TV viewers.
