International Superstar Justin Bieber to Take on Official, Online Hosting Duties for MTV EMA 2010

LONDON, October 14, 2010 - MTV EMA 2010 is looking to make the biggest digital impact of
the year with a number of cutting-edge online, mobile, social media and
interactive elements that allow music fans to connect with each other and
with the show across multiple platforms.

MTV EMA 2010 is sponsored by the new Suzuki Swift, Calvin
Klein Jeans
and Dell.

Among the digital highlights of this year's show is the
announcement that social networking poster-boy and music phenomenon Justin
Bieber
is the official MTV EMA 2010 digital host. With 5.6 million followers
on Twitter, Bieber is currently one of the most followed and influential
celebrities taking advantage of the breakthrough social networking site.

Harnessing that power, Justin Bieber will be tweeting and
interacting live with fans watching the MTV EMA 2010 online through a number
of new, exclusive features added to the web simulcast of the show. For the
very first time, MTV and AttracTV have partnered to develop interactive
overlays which can be switched on over the EMA live-stream exclusively at:
www.mtvema.com. Now EMA fans can hear Justin's live take on the
show, take polls, read the official live-blog and log-in to their own Twitter
and Facebook accounts to join the conversation while watching the show. The
web viewing experience will also deliver exclusive backstage interviews as
well as a host of 'on the night' surprises. Plus the new and improved Twitter
Tracker will give fans a real-time view of the most talked about celebrities
and hot topics as well as allowing them to tweet right from the app.

"I'm so excited to have all my fans come watch the show with
me online," said Justin Bieber, "it will be like one giant, global viewing
party at my house!"

www.mtvema.com is the destination for fans to delve
into the 2010 digital offerings and, most importantly, to cast their votes
and make sure their favourite artists take home the trophies. This year,
www.mtvema.com is available across 26 regions and in 16 languages.

"MTV fans across the world are simultaneously using multiple
screens and devices to enhance their own media experience. Our digital
strategy for MTV EMA 2010 is a reflection of that," explained Gary Ellis,
Vice President, Digital Media, MTV Networks International. "We want to ensure
that however you choose to interact with the show or the artists or the
performances, you are getting the best and most customised experience
possible."

As previously announced, MTV EMA 2010 is also offering a
bigger, louder mobile presence than ever before including an MTV EMA
iPhone/iPad app and a Flashlite app for Nokia/Sony-Ericsson handsets. In
addition, the show has entered a partnership with social networking site
Habbo Hotel for the second year in a row. Habbo users are able to visit
EMA-branded public and private rooms where they can vote and participate in
EMA activities including competitions to win in-game and real prizes.

The 2010 MTV EMAs will stream live on www.mtvema.com
and Facebook from 9pm CET on Sunday 7 November 2010.
