NBC.COM'S MOBILE INITIATIVES POST EXPLOSIVE GROWTH

Mobile Full Episodes and Smart Phone Sites Led Record Traffic

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - January 28, 2009 - NBC.com today announced record-breaking traffic to its mobile sites in 2008. NBC.com's many innovative firsts - streaming full episodes on a broadcast network's mobile site and platforms tailored to smart phones such as Apple's iPhone - drove total page views to 31 million for 2008, up from one million for the year prior. The announcement was made by Vivi Zigler, President, NBC Universal Digital Entertainment.

"NBC.com's leadership in the mobile space paid off in '08," said Zigler. "We believe in giving users entertaining content that is easily accessible and these numbers validate that strategy."

A combination of new functionality and compelling content drove growth for the year. Among them - the introduction of ad supported full episodes - in particular proved popular, making up the majority of the more than 2.5 million mobile videos streamed in 2008; interactive SMS features for programs such as "Heroes" and the "Biggest Loser" made important inroads in the convergence between mobile, online, and on-air entertainment; adapting content to harness the unique capabilities of smart phones such as touch screens and accelerometers; making online social networking features available on mobile devices; and providing regular digital content such as photos, schedules, and episode recaps in accessible, straightforward show sites.

These features are proving popular with other groups as well - NBC.com's mobile features have won awards such as the Mobile Entertainment Webby for the "Heroes" mobile site.

2009 will bring even more mobile innovation from NBC.com. iPhone apps from "The Office" and "Heroes" launch soon, as will user blogs and advanced commenting. NBC.com recently bucked industry trends by developing in-house mobile publishing platforms that allow NBC.com to simultaneously publish across disparate media, including online and mobile, and eventually internet connected televisions.
