Announcement by Zigzag Asia

Zigzag Asia today announced the launch of GT Channel Version 1.0, which concept is "car. video. network". GT Channel is an automotive social networking site focusing on online videos that targets the casual and avid automotive enthusiasts through its series of professionally produced video collections and user-generated content. Initially soft-launched as a beta site in fall of 2006, GT Channel version 1.0 went "live" at 12:01am last Friday.

As the definitive destination for automotive videos, GT Channel will continue to offer professionally produced video features on racing, new vehicles, and comparison tests as well exclusive segments from its large library of Best Motoring video content. GT Channel now features a more-robust user interface with a stronger social networking focus including user blogs, networking, forums, groups, galleries and other user-generated content platform to provide a one-stop location for both the hardcore and casual automotive enthusiast.

"Auto enthusiasts have a lot of resources on the Internet, but until today there wasn't a definitive site focusing on automotive video and social networking together. We already have a library of car videos and a fan base so GT Channel fills that void," said Taro Koki, president and CEO of Zigzag Asia. Masaharu Kuji, producer of Best Motoring commented, "We have some great plans with GT Channel, including original content and special video segments involving our advertisers."

Zigzag Asia is known for producing the US versions of the Best Motoring DVD series, originally from Japan. As part of an ongoing cross-promotional strategy, exclusive Best Motoring footage is available on GT Channel. Zigzag Asia continues to produce its critically-acclaimed DVDs while using that know how and adapting the same quality to develop segments and features for GT Channel.com.
