CHRISTIAN MUSIC SITE NEWRELEASETUESDAY.COM RELAUNCHES INTRODUCING INNOVATIVE NRTEAM COMMUNITY

Announces Key Strategic Partnership With Family Christian Stores

BOISE, ID – July 3, 2007 – On the eve of its fifth anniversary, the Christian music website, NewReleaseTuesday.com (NRT), has completely relaunched, introducing the NRTeam alongside multiple innovative community features. The site has also announced a strategic partnership with national retailer, Family Christian Stores.

In development for over 6 months, the redesigned site aims to continue providing visitors with new Christian music release information while incorporating the latest web 2.0 technology that enables Christian music fans to interact with each other in ways never before offered on an online Christian portal.

The recently launched NRTeam is the new interactive community for the site, offering free membership to anyone wanting to sign up. Each member will receive their own profile page where they can connect with other members, manage their personal blog, post album reviews and access the new NRTeam message board.

The most exciting new feature on the site will give any NRTeam member the ability to instantly add and edit artist profile and album detail information. “I’ve always approached NRT as a site that provides something unique,” says NRT founder, Kevin McNeese. “The NRTeam gives Christian music fans unprecedented editorial control. No other music website allows their members this much flexibility with their content and I believe the result will quickly create one of the largest and most up-to-date Christian artist and album databases online.”

In addition, NRTeam Members will be able to post music reviews and comment on the many exclusive articles, artist interviews, podcasts and devotionals, all while earning NRTeam Points. “This is a unique way for us to thank NRTeam members for their time spent on the site,” continues McNeese. “Members will be able to easily earn points for completing multiple tasks throughout the site, like adding an album review. Those points can then be used for free merchandise like CDs, T-Shirts and more. We’ll even pay the shipping costs associated with your order!”

In an effort to continue to develop key relationships that will continue to build awareness for the site, NewReleaseTuesday.com has announced an exclusive partnership with Family Christian Stores, the nation’s largest Christian retailer. “Family Christian Stores and NewReleaseTuesday.com have had a great partnership since NRT’s inception,” says Jef Fite, Senior VP Chief Information Officer at Family Christian Stores. “I’m excited with the new direction of the site and its potential.”

The partnership calls for exclusive buy links throughout the site to the company’s online store, FamilyChristian.com. “Our relationship with Family Christian Stores continues to grow,” says McNeese. “I’m excited for all the potential this relationship has.” Family Christian Stores and NewReleaseTuesday.com will also work together on various national awareness campaigns for both companies throughout the year.

“Overall, this is an incredible step into the future of discovering Christian music online and connecting with others who listen to this life-changing and positive genre,” concludes McNeese. “NRT has helped tens of thousands of fans come across new Christian music, and I’m excited that we’re taking the steps to finally connect a community of believers and music fans together. Only God knows where this will all end up. I’m simply happy to be along for the ride.”
