Interactive Online Guide Kicks Off with Annual Contest

Denver, CO - July 23, 2007 - Denver's 7, KMGH-TV announced that it has launched the A-List on www.TheDenverChannel.com and powered by CityVoter. The A-List is the premier destination for local information, featuring descriptions, photos, videos, maps, and real-life customer comments on the top local businesses in Colorado. The A-List provides local businesses with a platform to easily create, manage, and promote their own web content and gives consumers the power to choose the best businesses and post comments, photos, and more.

The 2007 Denver's 7 A-List competition kicks off on July 30, 2007 with a "best of" contest inviting visitors to choose Denver's best local businesses. During the A-List competition, people can logon to www.TheDenverChannel.com/alist to nominate and vote for their favorite businesses and share photos and reviews. In addition, every voter can enter to win prizes when they vote in any business category. The contest runs from July 30 - September 21, 2007. Winners will be announced and posted the week of September 30, 2007.

The A-List offers local businesses a free online presence and easy-to-use tools to manage their listings, saving them time and money and connecting them with online customers. After the contest, the guide is available all year and offers reviews and photos posted by customers, enhancing the value of a local business listing - both for the business and for those searching for detailed local information.

"People are increasingly exploring their cities online and are looking for more than basic information - they want photos, videos, maps, customer reviews and more," comments Josh Walker, CityVoter CEO.

Darrell Brown, VP and GM of Denver's 7, says "We are delighted to present this opportunity to local businesses - giving them both the recognition they deserve and this valuable online presence at no charge. Helping business owners to promote their businesses and helping customers find the businesses they are looking for makes the Denver's 7 A-List a wonderful resource for the people of Colorado."
