         BLONDER TONGUE REPORTS 2004 YEAR-END AND FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS


OLD BRIDGE,  NEW  JERSEY,  April 15, 2005 - Blonder  Tongue  Laboratories,  Inc.
(AMEX:  "BDR") today announced its sales and earnings for the fourth quarter and
full year ended December 31, 2004.

Net sales for fiscal year 2004 were  $39,233,000,  compared  to the  $35,437,000
reported in fiscal year 2003. The increase in net sales is primarily  attributed
to an  increase in capital  spending by cable  system  operators  and  generally
improved  economic  conditions.  The Company's gross profit margin  increased to
32.1% from 26.8% in the prior year due to a smaller  increase  in the  inventory
reserve,  as well as a higher portion of sales in 2004 being comprised of higher
margin products.  Earnings from operations were $784,000,  compared to a loss of
$2,181,000  reported  in 2003,  an  increase  of  $2,965,000.  The  increase  in
operating income was attributable to the  aforementioned  sales and gross margin
increases.  Net loss for the year  ended 2004 was  $3,122,000  or $0.39 loss per
share  compared to a loss of  $3,122,000  or $0.41 per share for the  comparable
period in 2003. The net loss was primarily  attributed to a $2,826,000 provision
for income taxes.  The  provision for income taxes  resulted from an increase in
the valuation allowance charged against the Company's Deferred Tax Assets.

Net sales for the fourth quarter 2004 were $8,572,000 compared to the $9,106,000
reported for the fourth  quarter of 2003.  The Company had an operating  loss of
$1,000  for the period  compared  to an  operating  loss of  $1,065,000  for the
comparable  period of 2003.  There was a net loss of  $3,367,000  for the fourth
quarter of 2004 (which  included the  $2,826,000  provision  for income  taxes),
compared to a net loss of  $1,909,000  reported for the fourth  quarter of 2003.
Diluted  net loss per share for the fourth  quarter of 2004 was $0.42,  compared
with diluted net loss per share for the fourth quarter of 2003 of $0.25.

James A. Luksch,  Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented,  "2004 brought
renewed growth in the Company's sales and gross margin.  The Company reduced its
accounts payable by $1,234,000,  reduced its outstanding debt by $4,433,000, and
expects to have fully paid its  outstanding  term loan by January  2006.  We are
presently benefiting from an increased commitment to capital spending by private
cable  operators.   If  this  trend  is  sustained  and  we  are  successful  in
accelerating  our telephony,  high-speed  data, and digital TV product sales, we
expect continued improvement in operating performance through 2005."
