Central Florida Based Company Selected to Produce National Medical Programs

ORLANDO, FL (June 27, 2003) -- Ivanhoe Broadcast News, the country's largest news-gathering organization covering medical news for television stations, has been selected by Choice Media Inc., the world's leading healthcare advertising representation firm and second largest online health network, to produce four half-hour medical programs.

The first half-hour program is set to air nationally between July and August 2003 and will deal with the important issues of osteoarthritis, stroke and heart attack, and the treatment of depression. The next three programs will air in subsequent quarters of 2003-2004 on network affiliates nationwide. Stations already clearing these programs include KGO-TV/San Francisco, WDIV-TV/Detroit, KING-TV/Seattle, WYFF-TV/Greenville, and WPTV-TV/ West Palm Beach.

In addition to producing these half-hour programs, Ivanhoe currently distributes its online daily health news to Choice Media, in both text and streaming video formats, plus provides access to a deep archive of 6,000+ medical reports. This enhances Choice Media's services to the top 10 online publishers in the health care industry reaching 6 million online consumers every week.
