                BLONDER TONGUE TERMINATES JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT


OLD BRIDGE, NEW JERSEY, June 15, 2006 – Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. (AMEX:
“BDR”) today  announced its election to terminate  its Joint  Venture  Agreement
(“JV Agreement”) with Master Gain International Industrial, Limited, a Hong Kong
corporation.

     The  Company  and its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Blonder  Tongue Far East,
entered  into the JV  Agreement  with Master  Gain on November  11, 2005 for the
manufacturing  of products in the People’s  Republic of China. In furtherance of
the Joint Venture,  the parties formed  Blonder Tongue  International  Holdings,
Ltd., a British Virgin  Islands  company  (“BTIH”).  On June 9, 2006 the Company
sent notice to Master Gain of its election to exercise its termination rights of
the JV Agreement and exercise its right to purchase  Master Gain’s fifty percent
(50%)  ownership  interest  in BTIH,  which the  Company  anticipates  to be for
nominal consideration.  As a result, BTIH will be wholly-owned by Blonder Tongue
Far East.

     The Company  terminated the JV Agreement due to the Joint Venture’s failure
to meet  certain  quarterly  financial  milestones.  The  inability to meet such
financial  milestones  was  caused,  in part,  by the  failure of Master Gain to
contribute  the  $5,850,000  of  capital  to the  Joint  Venture  and the  Joint
Venture’s  failure  to  obtain  certain  governmental   approvals  and  licenses
necessary for its operation.

     Commenting on the termination of the JV Agreement, Bob Palle, the Company’s
President  said,  “Establishing  a  manufacturing  facility  in China  will have
significant benefits including increasing gross margins and international sales.
Although the termination of the JV Agreement will delay Blonder Tongue’s plan to
directly  manufacture  products in China, we are continuing to move forward with
our  strategic  plan to  establish  a  presence  in China and we are  evaluating
alternative opportunities, both independently and with potential partners.”
