FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New Blue Wave Media App delivers

video content to 53 million in South Africa

via mobile devices


Hollywood, California.  December 8, 2015 - Blue Wave Media, a California company, working with InterneTV, a South African IPTV Service Provider, has developed a milestone mobile phone app in South Africa.  The app, available in iOS and Android, allows users to watch quality entertainment, whenever they want and on whatever device they choose.

The app, called C-flix, will be the source for great movies, television documentaries, kids programming, classic film, television archives and special programming.  The content will be available through Blue Wave Media’s P4 digital streaming platform, giving the monthly subscriber unlimited video content service (SVOD) to mobile phones and tablets.  Utilizing Blue Wave Media’s swipe to play technology, subscribers to C-Flix can easily stream content from their mobile devices to any smart television on their home network allowing families to enjoy video-on-demand without huddling around a small screen.

"Blue Wave Media has agreements with INtv for exclusive perpetual license rights for the South African market," says Rick Lewis, Co-Founder and CEO of Blue Wave Media. "Already the increasing investment in infrastructure and decreasing tariffs are opening up the mobile segment in that region. With a population of more than 53 million people and a mobile penetration of 140%, South Africa has more than one mobile device per person. We see the great opportunity that South Africa represents."

"Our technology platform is well-suited to support INtv as the leading media player in their targeted markets from South Africa to the entire African continent.  In fact, the platform supporting C-flix has been designed as a gateway to a world of online entertainment for that region," clarified Jodi Roth, Co-Founder and President of Blue Wave Media on the partnership with INtv.

"Launching a project of this scale in the speed we've achieved has been possible only because of the Blue Wave Media’s P4 video processing and delivery platform," says Jonathan Fluhart, Chief Technology Officer of Blue Wave Media. "C-flix is based on our content management system which simplifies the challenge of delivering streaming video across all devices, including mobile, with almost infinite scalability. This is a core feature of the powerful P4 unified back-end technology.  Add the ability to serve both subscriber and add-supported monetization models, plus the automatic cloud transcoding that delivers the right content in the right format to the right device, and you can see we're ready to roll out a great customer experience with C-flix for INtv .”

"The next step for Blue Wave Media and INtv will come very soon," predicts Lewis, "The African continent is migrating from analog to digital media under the International Telecommunications Union requirements. Already 57% of South Africa's internet traffic comes from mobile devices, so the delivery of movies via mobile broadband to the whole continent is an opportunity at our doorstep."
