Nibblebox Debuts New Programming

NEW YORK and LOS ANGELES, Sept. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Targeting college broadband users, Nibblebox debuts its fall line up of new episodic and interactive shows created by college students, live college radio, NBX radio, and affiliate channels featuring links to original creative content created by Nibblebox affiliates.

Nibblebox offers students and recent graduates a unique development and mentoring process that gives them access to tools, equipment, new technologies and industry experts to create content that is irreverent, innovative and smart. To date, mentors from the entertainment industry include Doug Liman (SWINGERS, GO), Tamra Davis (CB4, BILLY MADISON) and Peyton Reed (BRING IT ON). Others who have signed on include: Amy Heckerling (CLUELESS), Steven Soderbergh (ERIN BROCKOVICH), Wim Wenders (BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB), Kate and Minnie Driver (GOOD WILL HUNTING and BEAUTIFUL), Betty Thomas (PRIVATE PARTS).

``Our slate features programming created by college students and recent graduates from all over the country,'' said Dave Bartis, Co-CEO. ``We feel that there is a large group of incredibly talented young creators who are only being held back by lack of access to equipment and distribution resources. Nibblebox unleashes their creativity by providing not only access to resources but mentoring as well,'' continued Bartis.

-- "100% Ground Beef" by Mike Schleif (Quinnipiac College), follows crazy
counselors and campers as they try to make it through Camp Iawikki.
-- "Dot Comic" by Jared Stern (Brown University), travels to colleges
across the country in search of the funniest students.
-- "Muffin Films" by Amy Winfrey (UCLA Graduate School), a fresh
perspective on these baked goods whether alien muffins are invading
Earth or a little girl is getting eaten by her own snack.
-- "Pop Vox" by Philip Tiongson (Columbia Graduate School), helps you
decipher all the unknown lyrics of your favorite songs while grooving
with the corresponding music video.
-- "Sorority Crime Fighters" by Robert Laws and Courtney Ashley (USC Film

they get frisky and get revenge.

University), lets users create their own on-line music video as they
mix music, video, animation and special effects.


Along with the debut of new programming, Nibblebox is streaming live college radio, considered the home of groundbreaking and adventurous music programming. As college radio has never had the funding or resources to build its audience, Nibblebox is providing its affiliate radio stations with free streaming equipment, technical support and funding for the cost of streaming. Using the power of the Internet, Nibblebox will provide a home for college radio and the support it needs to survive and grow. In addition to providing access to each of Nibblebox's radio affiliates live streaming content, listeners will also be able to listen to NBX, the best of college radio, featuring the best shows from Nibblebox affiliates live 24/7. Future plans for NBX include multiple genre-specific channels offering like ``The Best of College Radio Hip Hop'' and ``The Best of College Radio Jazz.''

Since its beta site launch in April, Nibblebox's affiliate network has grown to over 140 affiliates on over 100 campuses across the United States. Campus affiliates are established through student TV stations, college radio stations, multi-media departments, film clubs and other creative student groups.
