Orlando, FL July 9, 2008 -- Red Planet Media, Inc. announced today the launch of the FUNimation Channel on JumpInMobile.TV, the wireless industry's newest and most dynamic mobile video-on-demand service. The FUNimation Channel contains full seasons of MoonPhase, Gunslinger Girl and Galaxy Railways, with each title consisting of up to 26 half hour episodes. The FUNimation Channel on JumpInMobile.TV represents the largest selection of on-demand anime ever offered on mobile phones and is compatible with an estimated 30 million AT&T and Sprint phones including models from Motorola, Nokia, Samsung and the Apple iPhone. AT&T or Sprint customers can point their cell phone browsers to http://www.jumpinmobile.tv/funimation or can send a "go funimation" text message to 22646 to receive a link to FUNimation Channel's JumpInMobile.TV home page. There, fans can learn more about the service, view free trailers and sign up for the channel.

FUNimation is the leading provider of top quality anime content aimed at young adults with dozens of the most popular titles including Dragon Ball, Slayers, and Spiral. The linear FUNimation Channel is available on a growing list of independent television networks across the nation. With the launch of the FUNimation Channel on JumpInMobile.TV, FUNimation's vast anime catalog can now reach a mobile phone audience estimated at over 30 million people.

"This new partnership shows our commitment in providing innovative multi-platform content that is also a rich interactive experience for our fans," said Gen Fukunaga, president and CEO at FUNimation Entertainment. "We also expect that the promotional value of this mobile content will increase awareness about our series and ratings for our linear TV channel."

OlympuSAT, a leading distributor of television channels throughout the U.S., manages the distribution and marketing of both the linear TV and the JumpInMobile.TV FUNimation Channels. In support of the launch of the new mobile channel, OlympuSAT is launching an advertising campaign consisting of television, print and web.

JumpInMobile.TV is an on-demand service for owners of Sprint and AT&T video-capable phones. Consisting of a growing number of channels including FUNimation, Cine Mexicano and Noti Mobile, JumpInMobile.TV turns long form content such as full seasons of FUNimation and full-length movies from Cine Mexicano into easy-to-manage on-demand chapters navigated with the phone's Internet browser. Subscribers to the channel have unlimited access to all the chapters in the channel each month and the cost of a monthly subscription is conveniently added to the consumer's monthly bill or billed to a credit card. JumpInMobile.TV uses the mobile phone's native video player and does not require the download of a separate application, making it compatible with an estimated 30 million mobile phones in the U.S. The content adaptation and playback capabilities are powered by QuickPlay Media, the leader in mobile TV and video solutions.

"Premiering JumpInMobile.TV with the FUNimation Channel is an exciting showcase for all the partners involved in this project," said Dean Fresonke, President of Red Planet Media. "Rather than the minutes a week of fresh mobile video on a handful of phones available from virtually every other provider, the FUNimation Channel and JumpInMobile.TV are bringing hours and hours of the top anime titles to millions of mobile phone owners. This is just the beginning of an entire family of JumpInMobile.TV channels that are simple to access and compelling to watch."
