                  BLONDER TONGUE REPORTS 2006 YEAR END RESULTS

OLD BRIDGE, NEW JERSEY, April 3, 2007 - Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. (AMEX:
"BDR") today reported net sales of  $35,775,000  for the year ended December 31,
2006, a three percent (3%) increase over net sales of  $34,730,000  reported for
the year  ended  December  31,  2005.  The  increase  in net sales is  primarily
attributed to increased sales of digital  headend and fiber products,  offset by
decreased sales of  interdiction  and analog headend  products.  Digital headend
sales  were  $5,715,000  and   $4,725,000,   fiber  sales  were  $1,731,000  and
$1,027,000, interdiction sales were $1,835,000 and $2,054,000 and analog headend
sales were $17,506,000 and $17,901,000 in 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Loss from continuing  operations  after income taxes was $ 96,000 or $(0.01) per
share for the year ended  December 31, 2006 as compared to $4,956,000 or $(0.62)
per share,  for the comparable  period in 2005. Net income was $342,000 or $0.05
per share in 2006 as compared to a net loss of  $5,500,000  or $(0.69) per share
for the comparable period in 2005.

Commenting  on the year end 2006  results,  James  A.  Luksch,  Chief  Executive
Officer, said, "2006 was a year of consolidation and refocus of our attention to
core market needs,  as  contemplated  by our strategic  plan. In response to the
ongoing transition from analog to digital transmission of video signals, we have
added  several new  products to our digital  product  offerings  and continue to
evaluate additional new digital product opportunities. The results are increased
sales,  reduced debt and  corresponding  interest  expense and  increased  gross
margin. Our initiative in China is on course and gaining momentum,  which should
produce  noticeable  benefits in the second  half of 2007 and  increase in later
time periods."
