NetWinner Opens Search for the Next Great Game Show Hostess

CHARLOTTE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Who is going to be the next great game show hostess? NetWinner.com has announced a nationwide search for the person who will take over the hosting duties for one of the fastest growing casual game sites on the Internet.

“We want to make someone a star.”

"While NetWinner is not technically a game show in the traditional TV sense, we do have hostess slots, contestants do play for cash and prizes, there are video commercials and content, and there is a very large and loyal fan base that tunes in regularly,” says Allen Dean, NetWinner President and COO.

"The biggest difference with NetWinner is that anyone with a computer and an internet connection can be a contestant on our game and the chance to win big never ends."

As one of the stickiest sites on the web, NetWinner's average player visit is over half an hour per visit, besting average visit times on MySpace.com and placing far ahead of YouTube, according to online tracking service Compete.com. In June 2007, NetWinner.com received over 500,000 visits and over 2 million page views, according to Google Analytics.

"We're committed to maximizing the entertainment experience for the player," says Dean, "and our new hostess will be a big part of that. The hostess we select will further round out that experiential part of the game. The exponential growth of NetWinner virtually guarantees that our new hostess will ultimately be seen by millions online everyday. This is an opportunity that could make her famous.”

Those wanting to be considered for an audition should send a video application via email to NetWinner at: auditions@netwinner.com. Previous experience is desired but not required. Full details are available at www.NetWinner.com/files/hostess.

A key part of the user experience are the video commercials from America’s best known and respected brands, which are delivered through the most effective video advertising model online. This model combines NetWinner's engaging casual game play with a sophisticated companion video advertising model powered by its proprietary Adstreams technology that puts sponsors top-of-mind with consumers.

As for the new NetWinner hostess says Dean, "We want to make someone a star."
