For Immediate Release:

VIGGLE ADDS DISTRIBUTED REMINDER CAPABILITIES, NEXT-GEN PROGRAM GUIDE, AND UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL

Acquisition of Dijit Media expands Viggle’s robust marketing and promotions platform

NEW YORK – January 29, 2014Viggle Inc. (OTCQB: VGGL), the mobile entertainment marketing and rewards platform that includes the Viggle and Wetpaint brands, announced today that it acquired Dijit Media, maker of award-winning technology that helps consumers search for, find, and set reminders for their favorite TV shows and movies wherever they are offered.
Dijit builds and distributes the NextGuide discovery service, a hyper-personalized programming guide for iOS and on the Web that helps users answer the question, “What should I watch next?” NextGuide combines listings from any live TV service with movies and TV shows that can be found and played on services like Hulu Plus, Netflix, and iTunes, with rich searching capability, alerts, and one-click watching.
NextGuide includes the cutting-edge Reminder Button, a revolutionary technology that allows TV and movie fans to find, track, and set reminders via emails, text messages or app push notifications for the shows they plan to watch. This powerful piece of functionality also helps networks and other entertainment properties engage audiences, driving and tracking live TV tune-in.
The Dijit Reminder Button can easily be added anywhere, to any website, banner ad campaign, mobile app, or social property either via an HTML link or "embed" code, and functions similar to a Facebook "Like" button.  It is already integrated with more than 80 shows from four leading TV networks, with another 15 networks and numerous entertainment properties in testing. Dijit’s tools will also be available on the Viggle-owned Wetpaint website, which offers audiences their daily fix of entertainment and celebrity news with 150+ articles, videos and galleries per day.
Once the service is fully integrated with Viggle, NextGuide users will be rewarded with Viggle Points, redeemable for real rewards, just for setting reminders for their favorite shows. Similarly, Viggle users will have more options to earn Viggle Points by leveraging Dijit technology and services.
“Viggle’s rapid ascension as the leading marketing and rewards platform for entertainment just got a lot more robust,” said Greg Consiglio, President and COO of Viggle Inc. “The addition of Dijit’s exclusive features that can help audiences search for and then be reminded of what is on and when, and even control their DVR from anywhere, means fans never have to miss their favorite shows or movies.”
Jeremy Toeman, CEO of Dijit Media commented, "We’ve had incredible growth and success since our launch and we’re excited to join with another company that shares our goals – to create a holistic marketing platform for brands and networks, while giving our users content and tools they need to take control of their daily entertainment choices.”




The Viggle companies, including Wetpaint, Dijit, and Viggle, had more than 17 million monthly users in December.
Viggle and Dijit will share more details on the integration in the coming weeks.
