Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On October 5, 2007, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) of NTN Buzztime, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the dismissal of Haskell & White LLP (the “Former Auditor”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective as of October 5, 2007, and approved the engagement of Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. (the “New Auditor”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm effective October 9, 2007.

The Former Auditor’s reports on the Company’s financial statements for the past two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period preceding the dismissal of the Former Auditor, there were no disagreements with the Former Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the Former Auditor, would have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period preceding the dismissal of the Former Auditor, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the interim period prior to engaging the New Auditor, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted the New Auditor regarding (i) either: the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company that the New Auditor concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304) or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

The Company provided the Former Auditor with a copy of the statements it is making in this Current Report and requested that the Former Auditor furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements herein. A copy of the Former Auditor’s letter, dated October 10, 2007, is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
