(OTC:NRWS) (BULLETIN BOARD: NRWS) , the TV on the Internet Company,
announced that the Company's technology, telvOS(TM), has been

power its global martial arts-themed broadband TV portal called MAC
Experience(TM) (http://www.macexperience.com/). MAC Experience will
launch live and worldwide on July 7, 2006. "We found that the
traditional cable network model didn't give us the global reach nor
the interactive ability we wanted for the martial arts community,"
said R. Anthony Cort, Founder, Chairman and CEO of BIG. "Our
partnership with Narrowstep along with its cutting-edge technology,
has allowed us to create the world's first multiple channel martial
arts broadband site integrating social networking and e-Commerce."
There are approximately 24 million martial arts practitioners and
over 120 million people who consider themselves martial arts
enthusiasts in the U.S. alone. "Broadband-delivered television is
the most impactful form of community-building, and clearly MAC
Experience will be the most compelling, comprehensive and
cutting-edge community site yet," said Steve Beaumont, CEO,
Narrowstep. MAC Experience will include a broad range of
family-friendly acquired and original martial arts inspired
content, including movies, documentaries, tournament competitions,
news, interviews, instructional programs, animated features and
much more. The goal of MAC Experience is to create an Internet
channel for the global martial arts community, its fans and
supporters by bringing together the industry and its components,
including television and film programming; video games and arcade
games; health, fitness and wellness; apparel, fashion and toys;
schools and self-defense training; tournament competitions and
advertising. MAC Experience is powered by Narrowstep's cutting-edge
