BDR Blonder Tongue Laboratories Inc

Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. (AMEX:BDR), today announced the appointment of Anthony J. Bruno to its Board of Directors and Audit Committee effective as of February 1, 2008. Mr. Bruno has over 30 years of leadership and financial experience, particularly in the manufacturing environment. Mr. Bruno�s appointment fills the Class I vacancy created by the resignation of John E. Dwight, also effective as of February 1, 2008. Mr. Bruno will join the Board as an independent director, as defined by the American Stock Exchange Company Guide. With his appointment, and the resignation of Mr. Dwight, the Company believes it has regained compliance with the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange, which requires that a majority of the Company�s directors be independent, and expects to receive a confirmatory letter from the American Stock Exchange shortly. Although Mr. Dwight has resigned as a director, he will continue to be employed by the Company as the Assistant to the Chief Executive Officer. �Blonder Tongue has remedied the Board�s composition and believes it has regained AMEX compliance well before the March 11, 2008 deadline,� stated James A. Luksch, Blonder Tongue CEO. �We thank Jack Dwight for his many years on the Board, and look forward to our continued working relationship. We welcome Tony Bruno to our Board as a strong financial expert and business executive to help us achieve our future goals.� Mr. Bruno�s extensive experience, first as a certified public accountant, and later as a financial executive and consultant, has involved the provision of auditing services for various companies, financial reporting and corporate acquisitions and financial due diligence. For the past year, Mr. Bruno, age 67, has been a consultant to Besam Entrance Solutions, the United States subsidiary of ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems, a Swedish Company, handling various aspects of corporate acquisitions. Prior to his role as a consultant, Mr. Bruno was the Vice-President of Finance for Besam Entrance Solutions for 18 years, managing all aspects of its financial activities in North America. Mr. Bruno also served as Blonder Tongue�s Vice President of Finance from 1981 to 1989. Prior to his tenure at Blonder Tongue, he also spent several years with Coopers & Lybrand (now PricewaterhouseCoopers) supervising audits of principally manufacturing companies. Mr. Bruno, as well as the other directors of Blonder Tongue and its officers and senior management, are expected to be in attendance at the 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held at the Comfort Suites East Brunswick, 555 Old Bridge Turnpike, East Brunswick, NJ, telephone number (732) 967-1505 at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, May 21, 2008.
