Galleon Holdings PLC 
Broadcast agreement for Apollo's Pad in Canada 
 
 
Galleon Holdings plc (AIM: GON), the AIM listed entertainment media company 
developing and producing multi-platform properties with a focus on emerging 
markets, is pleased to announce an agreement with BiteTV ('BITE'), an 
interactive Canadian TV Channel, granting the rights to broadcast episodes of 
Apollo's Pad on the BITE channel. 
 
 
Under the terms of this agreement, BITE will broadcast 90 x 2 minute episodes of 
Apollo's Pad on their channel during summer 2009. The contract covers the whole 
of Canada and is non-exclusive. 
 
 
BITE, owned by GlassBox TV, is Canada's first interactive TV channel. The 
pioneering channel broadcasts youth orientated programming, including the very 
best in comedy, animation and music, delivering on-air interaction, online 
participation and wireless streaming. BITE was the 2007 Emmy winner for best 
interactive channel and is an old-style MTV meets short film programming format 
presented in unique broadcast viewing. 
 
 
Apollo's Pad is a multiplatform entertainment property distributed online and 
aimed at the highly coveted yet elusive young male audience and offers online 
and mobile users a unique, broadcast-quality comedy entertainment show. The 
property features a series of webisodes set in the fictional Apollo's Pad 
nightclub and a cast of characters modelled after different music genres. The 
music catalogue is supplied by Sony BMG and EMI and users are able to download 
exclusive music and music videos.  The online portal has recently been 
redeveloped by Dragonfruit Entertainment, a subsidiary of Galleon's US strategic 
partner, Dragonfruit Studios. 
 
 
Commenting on the agreement, Stephen Green, CEO of Galleon Holdings, said: 
"We are pleased to sign this innovative agreement with BITE TV to bring Apollo's 
Pad to the TV screen. The agreement is a testament to the Group's strategy of 
creating content that works on multiple platforms. BITE is a strong cross 
platform partner that will further broaden the Apollo's Pad following." 
 
 
Jeffrey Elliott, Co-CEO of GlassBOX Television and President of BITE TV, added: 
"We are looking forward to using Apollo's Pad to further supply our audience 
with something unique, new and edgy. We think this show is perfect for our 
audience and anticipate that it will be very popular on our channel."
