London -- Juliette Squair, Business Development Director of Audio
Network, the UK's fastest growing production music company, today
announces an unlimited use deal to supply the broadband, telephone and
media company, Tiscali UK, with music for use across all service
offerings.

With a catalogue of over 13,000 high quality tracks, which are cleared
for usage across all media platforms, Audio Network's music is to
feature in Tiscali UK's promotional campaigns airing on both mobile and
online platforms, as well as the Tiscali UK TV service.

In addition to their extensive library, Audio Network has also created
bespoke material to the company's specification for use on individual
projects. The deal extends the Tiscali UK online contract with Audio
Network which has been in place since September 2006.

Neal McCleave, Managing Director Media Services at Tiscali UK says:
"Having worked with Audio Network on our online business, we came to
realise that their offering had exact synergy with our business model:
material that could be used across every service line we operate. This
extension feels like a natural progression, as it not only makes
commercial sense, but also allows us to unify our campaigns across all
platforms, strengthening our brand cut-through."

Audio Network's Business Development Director, Juliette Squair, says:
"We are very pleased to be extending our relationship with Tiscali in
this exciting deal. The versatility of our catalogue for multiplatform
use is deliberate and it's great to see our partners taking full
advantage of what we can do, at the competitive rates that only Audio
Network can offer."

Founded by Andrew Sunnucks and Robert Hurst, both former directors of
international music publishers Boosey & Hawkes, Audio Network is one of
the UK's fastest growing music providers.

Its innovative licensing model cuts through the traditionally complex
and costly processes of licensing music, by pre-clearing all its tracks
for worldwide and multi-platform use. This approach allows producers
to make programmes for international distribution, emerging platforms
and new media without the need to go through the complicated and
expensive process of clearing individual tracks or re-versioning
productions.

Audio Network owns the rights to an extensive catalogue of over 12,000
tracks covering the full range of music styles from classical to hip
hop and from country to rock n roll. Its high quality music, some of
which will soon be available in 5.1 surround sound, is created by
established international composers and recorded by major orchestras
and artistes including The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Dame Evelyn
Glennie OBE and Sir John Dankworth CBE.

The company supplies music and more than 50,000 sound effects to major
international film, television, advertising and media clients including
Universal Pictures, BBC, Ogilvy and BT Vision.

Audio Network also provides original scoring, audio branding and sound
design services and is a joint venture between many well known music
composers who create bespoke music for license.
