ZUM Zoomermedia Limited

ZoomerMedia Limited (the "Company" or "ZoomerMedia") (TSX VENTURE:ZUM) announced
that the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ("CRTC")
issued today a decision renewing the broadcast licence for a period of 7 years
of ZML's specialty programming service VisionTV: Canada's Faith Network/Reseau
religieux canadien (VisionTV) and that the CRTC also issued today a decision to
not approve ZoomerMedia's application for national mandatory distribution on
digital basic for VisionTV pursuant to section 9(1)(h) of the Broadcasting Act. 


VisionTV is currently distributed in approximately 10 million homes across
Canada on basic by cable and satellite operators and telcos pursuant to
commercial agreements and a CRTC Dual Status designation. A service with a CRTC
Dual Status designation must be distributed by Class 1 terrestrial cable
operators as part of their basic service, unless otherwise agreed to by the
operator of the television programming service. The CRTC's Dual Status rule
expired on August 31, 2011, but in the wake of that expiry, VisionTV's carriage
was sustained by existing contracts with cable and satellite operators and
telcos and an extension of the status quo, pending the CRTC's review of the
matter at public hearings which were held in late April of this year.


Today's CRTC decision should not result in a reduction in VisionTV's revenue as
there were several favourable changes in Vision TV's conditions of licence.
ZoomerMedia has also been pro-active and has entered into renewal agreements
with the majority of the distributors in Canada, which will result in the
channel being offered on the digital basic service across Canada through to
2017. ZML also continues to negotiate with other distributors to secure further
distribution on basic of VisionTV across Canada.


"We are pleased with the decision renewing our broadcast licence. Given our
successful efforts so far to negotiate renewal agreements with the majority of
distributors, and the ongoing positive discussions with the remaining operators,
we are confident that this ruling will ultimately have no negative impact on
revenues. We would like to thank the 16,000 plus Canadians who wrote, emailed
and phoned in their support," said Moses Znaimer, President & C.E.O. of
ZoomerMedia Limited.
