China YouTV's JV Partner Participates In Digital Music Download Market China YouTV Corp. (OTCBB: CYTV)

On April 3, 2008, Apple announced it has overtaken Wal-Mart to become the top music retailer in the US, based on the latest data from the NPD Group(1). iTunes has sold over four billion songs, accounting for more than 70% of worldwide online digital music sales(2). "The steady increase in downloads for the iTunes Store demonstrates the remarkable shift from the purchase of physical CDs to the virtual world of music retailing," stated James Wei, CEO of CYTV.

"While the world's leading music companies such as Sony BMG, Universal Music Group and Warner Music are forming strategic partnerships with MySpace to compete with Apple, Wal-Mart or Amazon, we need to face the reality that music has gone digital. In answer to this trend, CYTV has reached out to music providers such as Melting Point Ark to promote their songs and offer free trials on our CnBoo website. This is a "routine strategy" for all beginners providing online services and products to increase exposure and membership. For now, the songs and other content are free to download but charges will apply in the near future as CnBoo gains more popularity in China."
