Motive Television PLC

("Motive" or "the Company")

 

Completion of Agreement to establish Broadcast Cloud JV LLC

 

Motive announces that Granite Broadcasting Corporation ("Granite") and Motive Holdings Inc., a fully-owned subsidiary of the Company, have completed and executed the agreement establishing Broadcast Cloud Joint Venture LLC ("BCJV") as described in the announcement on 15 February 2012. BCJV is a 50/50 partnership of Granite and Motive Holdings Inc. created to develop and enable terrestrial broadcasting and Television Anytime Anywhere™ to iPads and other tablets.

 

As described in Motive's recent Trading Update, the Motive group is developing additional technology on behalf of BCJV that will permit the reception of existing ATSC over-the-air broadcast television on iPads and other tablet devices in the United States. BCJV plans to have the system of antenna-tuners and apps ready for testing in Granite's television markets in early 2013, with commercial introduction thereafter.

 

The Motive group will receive license fees based on the number of antenna-tuners distributed plus its share of joint venture profits.

 

Leonard M. Fertig, CEO of Motive, commented:

 

"BCJV represents an excellent opportunity for Motive to participate in the growth of television viewing on tablet devices in the United States. According to Forrester Research in 2012 there are 50.7 million tablet users in the United States, with additional sales at 40 million units per year over the next three years.

 

"Both Motive and Granite believe that the ability to watch and record free-to-air TV from all terrestrial channels on tablet devices with a one-time purchase of a low-priced antenna-tuner will be attractive to viewers and that there is an opportunity for viral growth of this sector. Indeed, we believe it is analogous to the very successful Freeview experience in the UK. Additionally, Motive's Television Anytime Anywhere™ technology will provide catch-up and video-on-demand options."
