         iEntertainment Network, Inc. Announces Equity Infusion, Simplified
         Capital Structure, New Management & Directors


         RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK AREA, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 19,
         2001--Entertainment Network, Inc. (OTCBB:IENT - news), an online
         entertainment media company, today announced a series of corporate
         developments resulting in improved liquidity and a simplified capital
         structure.

         The company also named a new Board of Directors and executive
         management.

         iEntertainment received net proceeds of $300,000 through the private
         sale of 6,000,000 newly-issued shares of its Common Stock to an
         investor group led by J.W. Stealey, the company's founder and incoming
         CEO.

         iEntertainment simultaneously issued 6,980,518 shares of its Common
         Stock in exchange for all of its outstanding shares of Series D
         Convertible Preferred Stock in separate transactions with RGC
         International Investments, LDC, Mr. Stealey and others. The company
         then retired the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.

         The Investor Group has the right to purchase up to an additional
         $500,000 of Common Stock at a price per share of $0.05 within ninety
         (90) days. In connection with these transactions, the Company also
         granted anti-dilution protection to RGC whereby, immediately following
         the issuance by the Company of shares in connection with the next
         $203,125 of capital raised by the Company, RGC will receive, for no
         additional consideration, a number of additional shares of Common Stock
         so that RGC will own, immediately following such issuance, 9.99% of the
         outstanding shares of Common Stock.

         iEntertainment also granted registration rights to Mr. Stealey and his
         co-investors. Mr. Stealey and his co-investors, as well as RGC and
         Vertical Financial Holdings, have entered into six-month lock-up
         agreements with the Company.



         Mr. Stealey is the largest shareholder of the Company's Common Stock.

         The current Board of Directors and the current CEO have resigned
         effective as of the closing of these transactions.

         The Company's new Directors are Mr. Stealey, Mr. Joseph McClelland,
         Mr. David Kestel, and Mr. Dan Young. Mr. Stealey will serve as the CEO
         of iEntertainment Network.
