Stockton Thunder News Release


DALLAS - B2 Networks, the "Official Broadband Broadcast Provider of the ECHL." on Thursday announced the launching of B2CableTV.com, a free 24-hour cable-style network dedicated to broadcasting sports and entertainment to viewers worldwide. Just as digital cable offers the choice of multiple channels on home television, the technological innovation of B2CableTV.com will allow fans and consumers to watch hundreds of TV-style programming channels on the internet.

"B2 Networks is proud to debut ECHLTV as the first channel on our new Network," said Greg P. Bell, B2 Networks Founder and CEO. "The technology resulting in B2CableTV is our latest innovation in broadband broadcasting and will allow viewers to watch TV style programming from each of our broadcasting partners. Consumers will now be able to access and watch their favorite and unique Sports and Entertainment programming anywhere in the world 24 hours a day and 7 days a week on B2CableTV."

ECHLTV will feature the biggest games from the previous week as well as live special events and great moments from the past 21 years of the league. In addition to the league and teams, programming will be determined by fans, who have the opportunity to watch games from around the Premier ‘AA' Hockey League.

"B2 Networks were pioneers in first broadcasting the Las Vegas Wranglers and the ECHL in 2004 so it is only fitting that the ECHL be the first Channel broadcast as well," said ECHL Commissioner Brian McKenna. "B2 Network has been a great partner and innovator and we look forward to working with them in this new endeavor."

To watch ECHLTV fans can go to B2CableTV.com and click on the "Hockey" tab. Viewers will need a high-speed internet connection and a current version of Microsoft Windows Media Player to watch the Network. All events on ECHLTV are free of charge and available 24 hours a day.

"This is a proud day for our company and a great innovation for hockey fans across the globe," said Bruce LeVine, B2 Networks Senior Vice President. "Sports programming is just the first step for the Network as we plan to launch more channels and viewing options in the very near future."

B2 Networks has broadcast ECHL games around the globe the last six years including the Kelly Cup Finals and the ECHL All-Star Game. The first hockey game broadcast by B2 Networks was the Las Vegas Wranglers in February 2004 and the first hockey championship carried by B2 Networks was the 2004 Kelly Cup Playoffs.

B2 Networks is a premier provider of reliable and secure international television and pay-per-view broadcasting systems. B2's installed technologies and worldwide network of arenas, stadiums, local venues and data centers are currently in use to distribute live sports and events to personal computers, television screens, mobile devices and commercial venues around the world.
