Janson Media Partners with Online Venture EZTakes

Janson Media announced today that it has entered an agreement with EZTakes, Inc. that will add its exclusive DVD titles to EZTakes' downloadable online movie catalog. The deal expands digital distribution of the Janson Media DVD Catalog, and enhances EZTakes' broad collection of quality programs.

'Janson Media provides the type of eclectic, high-quality catalog that EZTakes' users typically look for,' said Jim Flynn, CEO of EZTakes. Flynn continued, 'We're very excited to have Janson as our partner for our download service.'

&'Janson Media is aggressively partnering with forward-thinking media companies experimenting with new content delivery business models,' said Stephen Janson, president of Janson Media. 'EZTakes has devised a creative new way to deliver DVD titles with their core programs and extra features intact, and we are hopeful that their model will prove to be a successful one in the years to come.' EZTakes, Inc. was founded in June 2003, by executives with a long track record of starting and building highly-successful companies in diverse industries such as banking, document management and consumer e-commerce. Shortly after starting the company, the founders assembled a team of experienced enterprise software engineers and then kicked off the development of the EZTakes Movie Download Store, which they believe is the 'killer app' for feature-length movie distribution over the Internet. While other Internet video distribution implementations require that consumers huddle around a PC monitor to watch a feature-length film, EZTakes is the first service that enables tens of millions of consumers to purchase, download and then enjoy content in their living rooms, without having to buy, install configure or learn any new devices; consumers can simply use the 135 million DVD players that they already own. Established in 1989, Janson Media is an independent content distribution company based in the United States, with a rights portfolio of over 1,500 hours of exclusive programming available for licensing to worldwide television, VOD, DVD/video, and emerging new media platforms. The company has licensed programming to virtually every country in the world, and its clients include nearly every major broadcaster or media company, as well as a wide range of DVD labels and distributors. Janson Media is also a publisher/ manufacturer of award-winning DVDs.
