HRTS’ Newsmaker Luncheon Series to be Streamed Live at www.HRTS.org

LOS ANGELES, CA, Oct. 13, 2009 – The Hollywood Radio & Television Society (HRTS) has joined forces with Digital Rapids, the leading provider of tools and solutions for bringing television, film and web content to wider audiences, and Limelight Networks, Inc (NASDAQ: LLNW), a content delivery provider for thousands of entertainment, technology, enterprise, and government entities around the world, to stream the Newsmaker Luncheon series live at www.HRTS.org, it was announced today by HRTS Executive Director, Dave Ferrara.

The alliance was formed as part of HRTS’ digital initiative to continually provide its members with relevant and informative content as the industry evolves into the online arena. By creating an online space, it welcomes new media companies to become a part of HRTS and provides members with panel topics to include a digital perspective. This will continue to position HRTS as the industry’s premier information and networking organization resource for the important conversations that ultimately impact the future success of the media business.

“We’re pleased to work alongside Digital Rapids and Limelight Networks to provide live Internet streaming to all of our members and industry associates that are unable to attend our events,” said Ferrara. “The industry’s transition into the digital space is a key focus for us, and combining our digital efforts with market-leading technologies is an important element, which allows us to reach a broader audience.”

Most recently, Limelight Networks streamed live coverage of “The Digital Chiefs: A Special Conversation on the Future of Media in the Digital Age” Newsmaker Luncheon. Content was encoded by Digital Rapids. Moderated by Bob Iger, President and CEO of The Walt Disney Company, the panel provided an engaging discussion of the monetization of digital media, the impact and future of social networking, and the need for even the most successful digital entertainment companies to continually evolve in a constantly growing digital media landscape. Panelists included Chris Anderson, Editor in Chief of Wired Magazine; Chad Hurley, CEO and Co-Founder of YouTube; Jason Kilar, CEO of Hulu; and Jonathan F. Miller, Chief Digital Officer, Chairman and CEO, Digital Media Group at News Corporation.

“We are delighted to be working with HRTS on the organization’s new digital initiatives,” said David Hatfield, Senior Vice President, Limelight Networks, Inc. “HRTS is not only bringing valuable content to a wider audience, it is helping to educate its members on both the technical and business model aspects of digital delivery. From ingest and encoding to delivery and monetization, HRTS is acting as a guide for other media companies looking to make the transition to a digital platform. Limelight Networks is proud to support HRTS in this process and help the organization deliver rich, new online media experiences to its members and to the public at large.”

“We’re excited to be working with HRTS and Limelight Networks to extend the reach of HRTS events with live online coverage,” said Mike Nann, Director of Marketing and Communications at Digital Rapids. “The recent ‘Digital Chiefs’ event was an ideal launching point for HRTS’ new live streaming initiative. With the event focusing on the future of digital media and featuring panelists who are shaping that future, it seems fitting that our award-winning technology was used to power the live Internet coverage directly from the venue. We look forward to continuing our successful relationship with HRTS and empowering their future online projects.”
