Mooter Media Limited (ASX: MMZ) is pleased to advise that it has completed an agreement
with Hollywood-based Wink Martindale Enterprises (WME) to jointly produce and
commercialize its extensive portfolio of skill and contest games, competitions and gamesformatted
television shows. The agreement affords Mooter the exclusive rights to any and all
of WMEs properties for global web, Internet TV, Webisodes, online and mobile use, as well
as the additional rights to worldwide cable, broadcast and free-to-air television deployment.
The rights will be available to Mooter for an initial period of up to 2 years with a further period
of 7 years following commercial exploitation. Mooter will be entitled to between 60% and
70% of the net revenues generated by the joint venture. Mooter has entered into the
agreement with WME jointly on behalf of itself and its games development partner, the Hot
Shot Media Group.
Wink Martindale has an extraordinary career in film, television and radio spanning over 50
years and culminating in his award, in 2006, of a Hollywood Walk of Fame Star on
Hollywood Boulevard. He is also one of the original inductees into the American TV Game
Show Hall of Fame. Over the years, Mr Martindale has hosted such significant US game
shows as Trivial Pursuit, Debt, High Rollers, Gambit and Tic-Tac-Dough.
He is equally known and remembered for his spoken word rendition of the classic - Deck of
Cards, which topped worldwide music charts and gained Platinum status. It remains an icon
of the genre, to this day. Mr Martindale recently hosted Instant Recall, a hidden-camera
game show on the GSN Network, currently playing to millions of homes in the United States
and Canada.
Through his company, Wink Martindale Enterprises Inc, Mr Martindale has developed an
extensive suite of skill games, contest properties and concepts over the course of his career.
Mooter and its partner, the Hot Shot Media Group, believes that many of the games and
contest properties are ideally suited for online adaptation, and are particularly relevant to Hot
Shots unique, photo-centric social-networking and casual-gaming format. Mooter and Hot
Shot will initially concentrate on defining which of the games/contests portfolio could be
commercially exploited in the shortest possible term, while also earmarking longer-term
projects to be deployed progressively through the Companys games-product pipeline.
Commenting on his involvement, Mr Martindale said:
"Creating games for TV and the web has long been
and still remains a deeply held passion of mine. For
my creative partner Hope Murray and I, this association
with Mooter Media and Hot Shot Media gives us the
opportunity to share our properties with those countless
players who love the addicting fun of social gaming. I
look forward to this venture with great enthusiasm"
Mr Peter Jermyn, Chairman of Mooter, commented:
The venture between Wink Martindale, his company and
the Mooter/Hot Shot Media Group introduces some
particularly exciting and highly commercial possibilities
for us. There is probably no one that knows more about
the commercial adaptation of game shows and contests
than Wink. The marriage of his extraordinary talent and
experience with the unique concepts and technical online
skills of the Hot Shot Media Group should lead to
some exceptional opportunities for our group
Mooter Advisory Board member, Professor Paul Fullwood, added:
I am truly delighted to have assisted in the negotiation and conclusion of this very exciting
agreement. I have known Wink Martindale as a friend and professional associate for a very
long time and have long recognized the significant hidden value in Winks amazing library of
properties they are a great fit for Mooter/Hot Shot and Im delighted that the Company has
been able to secure them and in turn, to be able to commercially produce and exploit them in
association with Wink and his team. Having worked with Wink during the creation of a
number of the games/contests within the portfolio, I am well aware, not only of his
remarkable talents but also, the incredible opportunities this venture provides to Mooter. In
my view, Mooter/Hot Shot are the perfect partners to develop and launch these games to the
burgeoning cross-media market, and they will soon form an intriguing and significant
complement to the groups revolutionary and emerging games/contests products pipeline.
