               BLONDER TONGUE REPORTS 2007 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

OLD  BRIDGE,  NEW JERSEY,  August 9, 2007 - Blonder  Tongue  Laboratories,  Inc.
(AMEX:  "BDR") today  announced  its sales and  earnings for the second  quarter
ended June 30, 2007.

Net sales  decreased  $1,431,000,  or 15.0%,  to  $8,091,000 in the second three
months of 2007 from  $9,522,000 in the second three months of 2006. The decrease
in sales is  primarily  attributed  to a decrease  in headend  and  interdiction
product  sales.  Headend  product  sales  were  $3,907,000  and  $4,806,000  and
interdiction product sales were $308,000 and $650,000 in the second three months
of 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Cost of goods sold  decreased to $5,712,000  for the second three months of 2007
from  $6,510,000  for the  second  three  months  of 2006,  but  increased  as a
percentage of sales to 70.6% from 68.4%.  The decrease was attributed  primarily
to a decrease in sales in the second  three  months of 2007 as compared to 2006,
offset by an increase in the provision for  inventory  reserves of $558,000.  Of
the 2.2%  increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage  of sales,  6.9%,  as a
percentage  of sales,  is  attributable  to the  increase in the  provision  for
inventory  reserves  offset by a decrease in cost of goods sold as percentage of
sales of 4.7% due to a more favorable product mix.

Loss from continuing  operations  after income taxes was $822,000 or $(0.13) per
share for the second  three  months of 2007  compared  to a loss of  $332,000 or
$(0.04) per share for the comparable period in 2006.

Commenting on the second quarter 2007 results,  James A. Luksch, Chief Executive
Officer,  said,  "Although our second  quarter sales were lower  compared to the
prior year, we did see improvement sequentially as our second quarter sales were
approximately 8% higher than the first quarter. We are continuing our efforts to
reduce operating expenses and expect to see annualized improvements in excess of
$1,000,000.  Our China  initiative  remains  on course  and we expect to realize
noticeable  benefits from reduced costs  beginning in the third quarter of 2007,
with further improvements continuing into 2008."
