BBTV Provides Corporate Update on Content Management Business and Operational Alignment

• Several New Enterprise Clients Signed, Including Largest Ever
• Re-Aligning Operations To Focus On Growing High Margin Lines of Business
• Optimizing Costs to Accelerate Path to Profitability

VANCOUVER, BC, March 30, 2023 /CNW/ - BBTV Holdings Inc. (TSX: BBTV) (OTCQX: BBTVF) (Frankfurt: 64V) ("BBTV" or the "Company"), the leading creator monetization company with a mission to help creators become more successful, today announced it is aligning operations to further focus on Content Management and Direct Advertising Sales with the objective to maximize higher margin revenue growth as it continues to drive towards profitability. With the strongest ever pipeline, growth in higher margin enterprise Content Management revenue continues to accelerate. Recently, BBTV signed major contracts with a top multinational entertainment and record label conglomerate, as well as a major global entertainment company.

• The multinational entertainment and record label conglomerate is the largest Content Management client in BBTV's nearly 18 year history.
• Following the signings of Combate Global, The Harlem Globetrotters, and Wondery in Q4 2022, these contracts add to BBTV's strongest ever lineup of enterprise media clients utilizing BBTV's Content Management solutions. Other clients include the NBA, Sony Pictures, Paramount Global, and PBS among others.
• For each of these new signings, BBTV is providing a diversity of its comprehensive Content Management solutions, which include Rights Management, Channel Management and Content Development. Content Management delivers 3 to 4 times higher gross margins than the Company's Base Solutions and is the primary revenue stream for Plus Solutions.

"As more consumers shift to digital content in 2023, more media companies and brands are looking for ways to grow and monetize otherwise inaccessible communities online," comments Lewis Ball, Chief Strategy Officer, BBTV. "These latest major signings illustrate the growing acceptance of BBTV's comprehensive enterprise solutions, and validate the investments that we have made in this line of business over the past several years and that we plan to continue to make."

"We are aligning our operations and talent to capitalize on emerging opportunities in our high growth, high margin lines of businesses" said KB Brinkley, Chief Financial Officer, BBTV "With continued focus and further recent cost optimization, which was in addition to the 14% reduction in headcount announced in June of last year, we expect to accelerate our path to profitability with high margin revenue expansion."

As BBTV continues to see strong growth in its Content Management business, YouTube has also recently begun sharing revenue with creators for YouTube Shorts as of February 1, 2023, enabling monetization for an additional portion of the Company's monthly Base Solutions viewership.
