                    BLONDER TONGUE REPORTS 2006 THIRD RESULTS

OLD BRIDGE, NEW JERSEY,  November 14, 2006 - Blonder Tongue  Laboratories,  Inc.
(AMEX: "BDR") today reported net sales of $9,578,000 for the third quarter 2006,
a 0.9  percent  decrease  over net  sales of  $9,666,000  reported  in the third
quarter 2005. The decrease in sales is attributed to a decrease in  interdiction
product  sales offset by an increase in fiber and core product  sales.  Sales of
interdiction  products  were  $319,000 and $733,000 and sales of fiber  products
were $647,000 and $274,000 in the third quarter of 2006 and 2005,  respectively.
Net sales increased $1,634,000, or 5.8%, to $29,977,000 in the first nine months
of 2006 from $28,343,000 in the first nine months of 2005. The increase in sales
is primarily attributed to an increase in digital, fiber and core product sales.
Digital  product sales were  $3,714,000  and  $3,374,000 and fiber product sales
were  $1,403,000  and  $812,000  in the  first  nine  months  of 2006 and  2005,
respectively.

Net income for the third quarter 2006 was $175,000, or $0.02 per share, compared
to a net loss of  $3,516,000 or ($0.44) per share for the  comparable  period in
2005.  Net loss for the nine months ended  September  30, 2006 was  $37,000,  or
breakeven  per share,  compared to a net loss of $5,047,000 or ($0.63) per share
for the comparable period in 2005.

Commenting on the third quarter 2006 results,  James A. Luksch,  Chief Executive
Officer,  said,  "The comparable  quarter-to-quarter  sales  performance,  being
relatively flat, is buoyed by the year-to-date  sales  improvement."  Mr. Luksch
continued,  "The  elimination of certain  non-core  business units  continues to
progress.  With the disposal of our interest in Blonder Tongue Telephone and the
planned  divestiture of BDR Broadband,  our Texas-based private cable system, we
expect an annual  improvement to our net income of  approximately  $600,000.  In
addition,  the anticipated  sale of selected Company patent rights should result
in net proceeds of approximately $2,000,000."

Founded  in  1950,  Blonder  Tongue  Laboratories,   Inc.  has  evolved  from  a
