NEW YORK, NEW YORK, SAN MATEO, CALIFORNIA, and TORONTO, CANADA--(Marketwire - April 21, 2011) - Intertainment Media Inc. ("Intertainment" or the "Company") (NYSE:INT)(Other OTC:ITMTF.PK)(Frankfurt:I4T.F) announces that its desktop app KNCTR(R) (pronounced "Connector") - www.knctr.com a key program of Intertainment's wholly owned division itiBiti (www.itibiti.com) continues to deliver incremental week over week growth and now has over 250,000 unique North American user installations in its first full month of market launch.

KNCTR(R) is the next generation of social communications applications that allows users to aggregate their social media(s) and voice services into one location on their desktop.

With the projected impact that tablets will have on the personal computing space, with over 50 million units to be sold within the next two years in North America alone, KNCTR(R) is positioned to enhance the functionality and usability of these devices by allowing them to become a fully functioning phone unit.
"The amount of time being spent watching videos, engaging in social medias and making telephone calls with KNCTR(R) has been exceptional." said Brad Parry, CMO Intertainment Media Inc., "And with our active user engagement time continuing to flourish, KNCTR(R) is proving to be a truly indispensible tool for consumers and brands alike."
