Knightscove Media to Leverage Library Content Revenues Through New Deal With ICAP Media

KNIGHTSCOVE MEDIA CORP. (TSX VENTURE:KC.A)(TSX VENTURE:KC.B)
(www.knightscove.com) ("Knightscove"), a leading Canadian distributor of family
entertainment, announced today that it's newest subsidiary, Knightscove-Ellis
International Inc. ("Knightscove-Ellis"), has executed an agreement with
LA-based ICAP Media LLC ("ICAP Media") to release 500 catalogue titles
internationally. The titles will have their first market launch at the American
Film Market in Los Angeles beginning today. The Ellis Library, containing some
of North America's best known nature programming, continuously sells to
broadcast and DVD markets globally. Through ICAP MEDIA we believe the library
will also begin to attract greater digital licensing opportunities.


Leif Bristow, CEO of Knightscove said, "This represents an excellent opportunity
to expand on our strategic relationship with ICAP Media and leveraging the
global returns from our catalogue, which has historically been only a TV revenue
generator." Said Robert Yu, Senior Vice President of ICAP Media, "The
Knightscove-Ellis catalogue is a perfect fit with our objective to be among the
pre-eminent family entertainment players in the business."


ICAP Media is a rapidly growing media powerhouse uniquely positioned to broker
entertainment libraries to the biggest content distributors and to the largest
network of media buyers on the planet. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ICAP
Plc, a multi-billion dollar UK-based financial company publicly traded on the
London Stock Exchange. 


Knightscove's strategy going forward is to focus on licensing its proprietary
content to third parties, converting its proprietary content to digital
applications and Apps in order to participate through such portals and platforms
as iTunes, iPhones and iPads, in the growing rental and purchasing of content in
the digital platforms, outsourcing to save on internal costs, and moving away
from traditional DVD manufacturing and fulfillment for third parties into the
world of multi-platform digital content.


Knightscove-Ellis is the television production and distribution arm of
Knightscove, set up following the acquisition of the television library produced
by Ralph and Stephen Ellis from 47-year old Ellis Entertainment in January,
2011. With over 200 awards to its credit, the Ellis Library features hundreds of
hours of prime time factual entertainment with a strong focus on wildlife and
natural history, including over 200 hours under the Profiles of Nature banner.
