AUTO CENTRAL - Once again, for the fourth year in a row, THE AUTO CHANNEL

America's two most important automotive expositions: the Greater Los
Angeles Auto Show, and the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

Traditionally, Media Days at the LA and Detroit shows are reserved
exclusively for working automotive journalists and industry members, who
get the opportunity to examine the latest offerings and final versions of
new vehicles before they're put on display to the general public. However,
THE AUTO CHANNEL's extensive behind-the-scenes broadcasts give every automotive
enthusiast and fan around the world a personal and unedited look at all the
events. These broadcasts, as well as all of the content and information on
TACH are available hassle-free, without any cost or obligation to users.

Coverage of the Los Angeles Auto Show will begin on Thursday, January 4th,
with two jam-packed days of new vehicle introductions, press conferences,
and celebrity interviews. BMW, Volkswagen, Ford, Isuzu, Panoz, Volvo,
Daewoo, Dodge and Jaguar are among the manufacturers scheduled to unveil
new vehicles or significant updates. TACH's coverage will receive an
energetic start on Thursday morning with the Motor Press Guild Breakfast
and keynote address by Dr. Wolfgang Reitzle; group vice president of Ford
Motor Company's Premier Automotive Group. As head of the international
operations of Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lincoln and Volvo, Reitzle
will, among other things, discuss the current and future state of the
luxury market.

Coverage of the North American International Auto Show from Cobo Center
will commence on Sunday, January 7th, and continue through Wednesday,
January 10th. Ferrari, Bentley, Ford, Toyota, Porsche, Suzuki, Mercedes
