Beyond Today Web Site Visitors and Program Response

The first five months of activity at the Beyond Today Web site show a healthy increase. We had 4,844 visitors to the site in December of 2005, 13,115 in January, 13,618 in February, 21,119 in March and 32,440 in April—a 54 percent jump!

All aired programs can be viewed online at www.beyondtoday.tv.

Beyond Today is scheduled to air on more than 160 channels at present. During our program start-up during the last week of December 2005, we received 63 responses to Beyond Today, and then for January we received 262, followed by 306 for February, 461 for March and 567 for April.

So far, overall response to United's new video effort has been very positive.

The popular online search tool, Google, offers a video search feature where registered users can upload videos to the Google video Web site. As of the first week of April, we had 11 Beyond Today TV programs posted for free. In just a few months these programs have been viewed over 5,000 times. The most popular program—"Is There Life After Death?"—has generated over 2,000 views.

In addition, Apple's iTunes browser offers Beyond Today in its music store as a free program download. We have begun receiving reviews from listeners who have rated the program very highly. Simply launch your iTunes program, go to the music store, click on "podcasts" and browse for Beyond Today in the search window.
