If no instruction is given on the Proxy, the Proxy will be voted FOR the Board's nominees for director, and FOR any other matter properly presented for a vote at the meeting. Any Proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked at any time prior to its exercise by notifying the Secretary of TelVue in writing, by delivering a duly executed Proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. DISSENTER'S RIGHT OF APPRAISAL The matters submitted to the stockholders for their approval will not give rise to dissenter's appraisal rights under Delaware law. PERSONS MAKING THE SOLICITATION The accompanying Proxy is being solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of TelVue. In addition to mailing the proxy materials, solicitation may be made in person or by telephone or telegraph by directors, officers or regular employees of TelVue, none of whom will receive any additional compensation in connection with such solicitation. The expense of the solicitation of the Proxies for the Annual Meeting will be borne by TelVue. TelVue will request banks, brokers and other nominees to forward proxy materials to beneficial owners of stock held by them and will reimburse such banks, brokers and other nominees for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in doing so. VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF Only stockholders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote on all matters presented for vote at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on the Record Date, the total number of shares of TelVue's Common Stock outstanding was 24,847,274 shares. Each share of Common Stock will be entitled to either one vote per share or ten votes per share on all business to come before the Annual Meeting, as described below. In addition, on the Record Date there also were 3,518,694 shares of TelVue's Preferred Stock outstanding. The Preferred Stock does not have any voting rights until it is converted into Common Stock. The Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the election of the holder into Common Stock at 6.667 shares of Common Stock for each share of Preferred Stock.

Nominees must also meet any applicable requirements of SEC regulations, state law, and TelVue's charter and bylaws The Board of Directors will annually assess the qualifications, expertise, performance and willingness to serve of existing directors. If at this time or at any other time during the year the Board of Directors determines a need to add a new director with specific qualifications or to fill a vacancy on the Board, the Chairman of the Board will then initiate the search, working with staff support and seeking input from other directors and senior management, considering nominees previously submitted by shareholders, and, if deemed necessary or appropriate, hiring a search firm. An initial slate of candidates satisfying the specific qualifications, if any, and otherwise qualifying for membership on the Board, will then be identified and presented to the Board of Directors which will then prioritize the candidates and determine if any of the members of the Board or senior management have relationships with the preferred candidates and can initiate contacts. If not, contact would be initiated by a search firm. The Chairman, CEO and at least one member of the Board of Directors will interview the prospective candidate(s). Evaluations and recommendations of the interviewers will be submitted to the Board of Directors for final evaluation. The Board of Directors will meet to consider such recommendations and to approve the final candidate; and will evaluate all nominees for director, including nominees recommended by a shareholder, on the same basis. The Board of Directors will consider director candidates recommended by TelVue's shareholders in accordance with the following procedures: Shareholders may make recommendations with regard to nominees for election to the Board of Directors at future annual meetings of shareholders by submitting in writing a notice, received by the Secretary of the Corporation at least 60 days prior to the date on which TelVue first mailed its proxy materials for the prior year's annual meeting of shareholders, or, if TelVue did not have an annual meeting of shareholders in the prior year, 90 days prior to the date of the annual meeting. Each notice of nomination must set forth (i) the name, age, business address and, if known, residence address of each nominee, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of each such nominee, (iii) the number of shares of common stock of TelVue which are beneficially owned by each such nominee, (iv) the qualifications of such nominee for service on the Board of Directors, (v) the name and residence address of the proposing shareholder(s), and (vi) the number of shares of common stock owned by the proposing shareholder(s). All nominees for director, including nominees recommended by a shareholder, shall be evaluated on the same basis. Shareholder Communications With The Board of Directors TelVue has established procedures for shareholders to communicate directly with the Board of Directors on a confidential basis. Shareholders who wish to communicate with the Board or with a particular director may send a letter to the Secretary of TelVue Corporation at 16000 Horizon Way, Suite 500, Mt. Laurel, NJ 08054. The mailing envelope must contain a clear notation indicating that the enclosed letter is a "Shareholder-Board Communication" or "Shareholder-Director Communication." All such letters must identify the author as a shareholder and clearly state whether the intended recipients are all members of the Board or just certain specified individual directors. The Secretary will make copies of all such letters and circulate them to the directors addressed. To the extent that a shareholder wishes the communication to be confidential, such shareholder must clearly indicate on the envelope that the communication is "confidential." The Secretary will then forward such communication, unopened, to the Chairman of the Board of Directors. Audit Committee Report The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed TelVue's audited financial statements with management.

The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of the foregoing services is compatible with maintaining Pressman Ciocca Smith LLP's independence. Based on the review and discussions referenced above the Audit Committee recommended that TelVue's audited financial statements be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions Since November 2, 1989, TelVue has funded its expansion and operating deficit from the proceeds from the sale of shares of TelVue's Common Stock and Preferred Stock to Mr. H.F. Lenfest, TelVue's majority stockholder ("Mr. Lenfest") and from borrowings from Mr. Lenfest. From November 1989 to February 1996, TelVue borrowed an aggregate of $6,128,712 from Mr. Lenfest. In addition to these borrowings, during January 1995, Mr. Lenfest purchased from Science Dynamics Corporation ("Science") TelVue's non-interest bearing note in the amount of $541,000. On March 5, 2001, TelVue borrowed $650,000 from Mr. Lenfest to fund a portion of the Source Communications Group acquisition, at an interest rate of prime plus one percent (1%) compounded and due on or before January 1, 2004 (the "Acquisition Note") (see below). TelVue repaid the Acquisition Note in its entirety in 2001 (see below). During the year ended December 31, 2003, TelVue made total interest payments to Mr. Lenfest of $1,250,097, thereby paying the accrued interest on prior borrowings in its entirety. The aggregate outstanding loan balance due to Mr. Lenfest as of the Record Date, is $541,000 in loan principal for the non-interest bearing Science note. TelVue intends to negotiate the repayment terms of the $541,000 note with Mr. Lenfest and does not have a payment schedule in place as of the Record Date. On March 9, 2001, TelVue acquired substantially all of the assets of J.D. Kraengel and Associates, Inc. f/k/a Dacon Corporation d/b/a Source Communications Group ("Source") for $1.3 million (see Description of Business in the TelVue 2003 Annual Report). The assets, which consisted primarily of material contracts with equipment, software and communication service providers, were purchased for $1,000,000 in cash and $300,000 pursuant to a promissory note (the "Source Note"). The Source Note has a term of three years. Interest only was payable monthly during year one at the rate of 8% per annum. Beginning in year two, both principal and interest was payable monthly at the rate of 5.06% per annum. During the year ended December 31, 2003, TelVue made total payments of $158,034 on the Source Note. From January 1, 2004 through the Record Date, TelVue has made payments of $39,508 on the Source Note, thereby paying the Source Note in its entirety. The acquisition of Source was part of TelVue's long-term business strategy to expand and diversify its operations. At December 31, 2003, TelVue was indebted to Mr. Lenfest in the principal amount of $541,000. Other related transactions are described in Notes 2, 5 and 12 of the financial statements of TelVue in the 2003 Annual Report. During the first quarter of 2004, Neil Heller, a Director, served as a consultant to TelVue through The Heller Group to provide a business analysis for the TVTN (TelVue Virtual Television Networks) product and service. TelVue paid The Heller Group $50,000 for its services which were completed in the first quarter. SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the TelVue's officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of TelVue's equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with SEC. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on TelVue's review of such forms received by it, or written representation from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were required for such persons, TelVue believes that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 all filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with. STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR THE 2004 ANNUAL MEETING Stockholders intending to submit proposals to be included in TelVue's next Proxy Statement must send their proposal to the Secretary of TelVue at 16000 Horizon Way, Suite 500, Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, 08054 not later than December 29, 2004. Such proposals must relate to matters appropriate for stockholder action and be consistent with regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Stockholders intending to present proposals at the next annual meeting of TelVue, and not intending to have such proposals included in TelVue's next Proxy Statement must send their proposal to the Secretary of TelVue at 16000 Horizon Way, Suite 500, Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, 08054 not later than March 15, 2005. If notification of a stockholder proposal is not received by the above date, TelVue may vote, in its discretion, any and all of the proxies received in its solicitation against such proposal. INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS The accounting firm of Pressman Ciocca Smith LLP served as TelVue's independent certified public accountants for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, and will serve as TelVue's independent certified public accountants for the year ending December 31, 2004. A representative of Pressman Ciocca Smith LLP is expected to attend the Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement and respond to appropriate questions of stockholders. The following table sets forth the aggregate fees for services rendered by Pressman Ciocca Smith LLP to TelVue for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. 2003 2002 ---- ---- Audit fees $ 39,498 $ 37,114 Audit related fees - - Tax fees 8,500 13,522 All other fees - - -------- --------- Total $ 47,998 $ 50,636 ======== ========= Audit Fees: These amounts include fees for professional services rendered in auditing TelVue's financial statements set forth in TelVue's Forms 10-KSB for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the reviews of TelVue's quarterly financial statements set forth in TelVue's Forms 10-QSB in 2003 and 2002. Tax Fees: These amounts include fees for tax consultation and tax compliance services. Pressman Ciocca Smith LLP did not render any other services to TelVue in 2003. The Audit Committee has considered and determined that the non-audit services provided by Pressman Ciocca Smith LLP in 2003 are compatible with maintaining the auditor's independence. All of the 2003 services described above were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the SEC rule that requires audit committee pre- approval of audit and non-audit services provided by TelVue's independent auditors, to the extent that rule was applicable during fiscal year 2003. On an ongoing basis, management will communicate specific projects and categories of services for which advance approval of the Audit Committee is required. The Audit Committee will review these requests and advise management and the independent auditors if the Audit Committee pre-approves the engagement of the independent auditors for such projects and services. On a periodic basis, the independent auditors will report to the Audit Committee the actual spending for such projects and services compared to the approved amounts. The Audit Committee may delegate the ability to pre-approve audit and permitted non-audit services to a sub-committee of the Audit Committee, provided that any such pre-approvals are reported at the next Audit Committee meeting.
