SAFARI Montage and Sesame Workshop Bring Sesame Street Digital Segments Directly Into School Classrooms and Libraries

Philadelphia, PA (October 10, 2005) - Library Video Company and SAFARI Video Networks announced today that yet another premier educational video publisher has joined the SAFARI Montage family. Sesame Workshop is the latest publisher to join the esteemed Scholastic, Weston Woods Studios, BBC Worldwide, Disney Educational Productions, A&E Home Video, National Geographic Digital Media, PBS, WGBH Boston and Schlessinger Media on SAFARI Montage – the broadcast-quality, plug & play, video-on-demand server for schools and libraries.

SAFARI Montage provides schools with digital access to their choice of outstanding educational video content, which now includes segments on numeracy, phonetics and the seasons from the most trusted name in children’s preschool programming, Sesame Street.

SAFARI Montage is a unique new product that manages digital video for schools or school districts. The server overcomes the problems associated with streaming and supports over 55 concurrent users in a building without degrading a school’s Internet connection. All programs can be searched and played by segments and a remarkable Shared Playlist feature gives unprecedented control for professional development.

“We are very honored that Sesame Workshop has chosen SAFARI Montage as a vehicle for reaching students with their digital video segments,” said Andrew Schlessinger, CEO of Library Video Company and SAFARI Video Networks. “We have worked with them to select their finest segments which are relevant for kindergarten and first grade.”

“As a nonprofit educational organization, we are thrilled to have found such an innovative distribution platform for our engaging video content,” said Scott Chambers, Vice President of Publishing, Home Video and Audio for Sesame Workshop. “Reaching children, caregivers and teachers with relevant and age-appropriate materials has been one of our primary objectives since 1969, and SAFARI Montage does so in an incredibly exciting and efficient way using today’s latest technologies.”
