Each episode of HUD includes an exciting lineup of guests – from esports professionals to game developers to popular streamers on YouTube and Twitch – to discuss tournament recaps, esports top plays, and all of the hot topics in the world of gaming.

“Esports has made a tremendous transformation from armchair activity to serious competitive discipline,” Johnny McMahon, VP of WPT Studios & Distribution, said. “It’s a hugely exciting genre with a longterm future, which is why WPT Distribution is focusing on it as its next major format. QYOU is a great partner to help us on this quest. Curating, customizing, and packaging short-form video content for millennial audiences is deeply embedded in their DNA and they have significant expertise in the esports space. We’re excited to add Heads Up Daily to our programming slate as we make serious strides towards our goal of growing another major global TV franchise.”

Curt Marvis, CEO and Co-founder of QYOU Media, commented: “As one of the most successful brands in televised gaming and entertainment, WPT Distribution is a fantastic licensing partner for us. The fact that their move into the esports space comes with the support of Ourgame and Allied Esports makes this deal a major development for the genre and places WPT Distribution in a perfect position to build a successful global brand with Heads Up Daily. We launched HUD earlier this year because esports is generating a high level of engagement from millennial and generation-Z audiences, and that keen interest is growing fast. We’re thrilled to be working with WPT Distribution and look forward to seeing Heads Up Daily become a flagship show for their new global esports franchise.”

Hollywood Veteran Steve Beeks Joins QYOU Board of Directors
 

Former Lionsgate Entertainment Co-COO and Co-Motion Picture President Brings Further Strategic Insight to QYOU Media

DUBLIN, LOS ANGELES & TORONTO, March 27, 2018  -- QYOU Media Inc. (TSXV: QYOU) (OTCQB: QYOUF) ("QYOU Media" or the "Company"), the world's leading curator of premium 'best-of-web' video for multiscreen distribution, has announced that industry veteran and former Co-COO and Co-Motion Picture President of Lionsgate Entertainment Corporation ("Lionsgate"), Steve Beeks, has joined QYOU Media's Board of Directors.

https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/659096/QYOU_Media_Inc__Hollywood_Veteran_Steve_Beeks_Joins_QYOU_Board_o.jpg

A twenty-year veteran of Lionsgate (NYSE:LGF.A), and a key strategist in the growth of its motion picture and home entertainment divisions, Beeks retired from Lionsgate late last year to participate in new ‎entrepreneurial directions, including those focused on the emerging growth markets of mobile viewership and digital-first content. His board appointment with QYOU Media marks his first move in pursuit of those endeavours.

"Cable TV and home entertainment were the boom categories of the last 30-40 years, while today, the emergent growth potential has shifted to take in digital-first video content, OTT, and mobile distribution as millennial audiences become the dominant consumer demographic. QYOU recognised this shift early, being in the right place at the right time to build a global business that packages web-first content for a new generation of TV viewers. I've known QYOU's CEO, Curt Marvis, for many years and am a fan of his vision and leadership. I'm delighted to join Curt and his dedicated team as a board member", Mr Beeks said.

Curt Marvis, QYOU's CEO and co-founder, commented: "Steve is well known and highly respected across the industry for his leadership at Lionsgate and his role in its remarkable success story. I am thrilled to have someone with his caliber of expertise and deep experience working closely with us as we head toward our goal of making QYOU a leading global millennial-entertainment brand."

Beeks' appointment is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.

Wendy Bernfeld, Amsterdam-based QYOU Media board member since July 2017, as well as a business development and content consultant for QYOU Media since its launch in 2014, is concurrently resigning from the Board due to other personal and professional commitments. QYOU Media thanks her for her dedicated service.

GoMedia brings on board QYOU to provide content for UK rail and coach passengers
 

GoMedia has selected QYOU Media to deliver curated short-form video content to train passengers on c2c and West Midland Trains services

This marks The QYOU's first UK distribution agreement and follows successful European expansion through partnerships in The Netherlands, Poland and Portugal

DUBLIN, LOS ANGELES & TORONTO, March 15, 2018  -- QYOU Media Inc. (TSXV: QYOU) (OTCQB: QYOUF) ("QYOU Media" or the "Company"), the world's leading curator of premium 'best-of-web' video for multiscreen distribution, has announced its first UK deal with GoMedia, Europe's leading on-board infotainment provider, which will see QYOU's curated online video content distributed to UK rail passengers.

Consumers are watching more video than ever before while on-the-go and in transit, particularly on mobile devices. According to eMarketer, more than 90% of all digital video viewers in the UK regularly visit YouTube, with almost two thirds watching its content via a mobile phone. The new partnership between QYOU and GoMedia aims to cater to the unique viewing habits of younger audiences, who make up a significant number of rail passengers and are the largest group of smart phone users, by offering them a curated selection of the type of content they are engaging with on a daily basis.

QYOU will deliver 40 episodes of QYOU Hits, its flagship show featuring expertly curated short-form video content to customers on c2c and West Midlands Trains services. The shows will feature a hand-picked selection of the best short-form videos the web has to offer, covering everything from new music, dance, comedy, sports and stunts as well as awe-inspiring clips from some of the world's most beautiful places. The on-demand content will be ad-supported on service provider platforms, providing an opportunity for rail and coach companies to create new revenue streams from passenger transit.

"Over a billion train journeys are made in the UK each year, and an increasing number of passengers are bringing their own devices (BYOD) on board and using these to plug into entertainment to keep them occupied while on-the-go," said Roger Matthews, Managing Director of GoMedia. "These BYOD passengers are fueling the demand for more high quality on-board entertainment, centered around their tastes and packaged as part of their ticket. QYOU's programming features some of the world's most talented digital-first creatives, making it perfect for passengers that want the latest must-see content to keep them entertained on their journey, which is why GoMedia chose to work with them."

This new partnership builds on previous transit deals QYOU Media has secured with Lufthansa and Global Eagle Entertainment, highlighting the growing consumer demand for easily accessible digital entertainment on-the-go.

Curt Marvis, CEO and Co-founder of QYOU Media, commented, "The quality and availability of on-board entertainment offers a competitive advantage for service operators. QYOU programming is already enjoyed by airline passengers across Europe, so we are excited to now bring our content to train and coach passengers too. With younger audiences always on the lookout for the most exciting video content online whenever and wherever they are, there's a huge opportunity for the major sea, rail, and coach travel companies to bring this to customers to enhance the travel experience and increase monetization potential."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release makes reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS financial measures by providing further understanding of QYOU Media's results of operations from management's perspective. QYOU Media's definitions of non-GAAP measures used in this press release may not be the same as the definitions for such measures used by other companies in their reporting. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of QYOU Media's financial information reported under IFRS. QYOU Media uses non-GAAP financial measures, including "adjusted net loss", to provide investors with supplemental measures of its operating performance and to eliminate items that have less bearing on operating performance or operating conditions, and thus highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. QYOU Media defines "adjusted net loss" as the company net loss, less non-cash related expenses of $231,290 (stock based compensation of $148,276, foreign exchange of $73,561 and depreciation of $9,453).

QYOU Media believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-GAAP financial measures in the evaluation of issuers. QYOU Media's management also uses non-GAAP financial measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period.
