New York, NY, November 20, 2002: New York, NY, November 20, 2002: Wavexpress, a leading broadband technology company, and GolfSpan.com, the number one provider of golf lessons online, have launched a golf instruction channel for broadband Internet users.

GolfSpan is a Web-based video channel dedicated to assisting golfers in improving their game. The channel delivers exclusive instruction from instructors who have taught hundreds of Tour Professionals. The secrets and skills of these pros are now available 24-hours, seven-days-a-week, to watch full-screen on the home computer. Broadband subscribers can access the tips they need on-demand, using an intuitive guide. Unlike streaming video, viewers can turn on GolfSpan immediately, and they do not experience buffering or a reduced screen size.

GolfSpan is available exclusively from Wavexpress’ TVTonic™ player, as part of a $3.95 subscription package. Majority owned by Wave Systems, Wavexpress provides broadband users with access to a network of IP-based channels that download to the home computer. The TVTonic player is available for download from www.tvtonic.com.

GolfSpan includes:

• Instructors: Exclusive video lessons from the world’s top instructors, including Jim McLean, Hank Haney, Jimmy Ballard, and Chuck Cook.
• Sports Psychologists: Expert advice from Dr. Fran Pirozzolo, performance coach for the New York Yankees, and Dr, Richard Coop, consultant to Payne Stewart, Ben Crenshaw, Mark O’Meara, and Nick Faldo.
• Video Series: Covers areas including bunkers, chipping, distance, pitching, putting, and swing plane.

“Our goal in launching this channel is to give broadband golfers the ultimate resource for improving their game,” said Steven Glassman, vice president, business development, GolfSpan. “TVTonic gives viewers full screen, instant access to GolfSpan tutorials, so subscribers get convenient access to expert instructors right on their home computers.”

“GolfSpan is one of the first channels to launch on TVTonic Plus,” said Michael Sprague, vice president, production services, Wavexpress. “TVTonic conveniently caches GolfSpan on your home computer, so the lessons are there whenever you need them. A Web overlay organizes and previews all the videos available, and an interactive menu takes you straight to the tips you need. This gives golfers an entirely new instructional experience that is full screen, searchable, and on-demand.”
