KNIGHTSCOVE MEDIA CORP. ("Company") (TSX VENTURE:KC.A)(TSX VENTURE:KC.B), is pleased to announce that it's DVD subsidiary, MORNINGSTAR ENTERTAINMENT ("Morningstar", www.morningstarent.com), is seeing stronger sales consistent with 2007 levels. Over the past two years, as a significant result of the economic environment, home products such as DVDs have been affected, reducing gross and net sales to the Company by approximately 30% per annum.
Starting in February of 2009, the Company commenced a group of cost cutting measures which will save approximately $500K in expenses in its 2009 - 2010 fiscal year. At the same time, the Company began putting in place its ability to fully service the US marketplace.
In September the Company launched its first Blu-Ray title, the original "A Christmas Carol" starring Alistair Sim. Currently, this title is selling extremely well with sales in excess of $300K. With reorders commencing, it has already generated sales in Canada of more than 10% of the Company's total sales for 2009. Morningstar's second Blu-Ray release "Lost City Raiders" is due to hit stores January 5th 2010 and has strong pre-orders, providing the Company with it's largest ever order from Blockbuster. Sales through the first ten weeks of Q1 (fiscal) are approximately 50% of the 2009 annual sales.
"We are very pleased with both the progress and the rapid turn around which we are seeing", said Leif Bristow, President. "We have made appropriate revisions to our G&A which we believe will benefit the company's profits on sales in the future and the strategy of opening US markets, strategic Finished Goods lines such as Questar and our Blu-Ray strategy, coupled with stronger customer confidence will help us strengthen shareholder values."

CHICAGO, Nov 19, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ --
Which fund managers have served investors the best during the most trying decade since the Great Depression? Morningstar, Inc. (Nasdaq: MORN), a leading provider of independent investment research, shared its favorites with investors today and announced its nominees for the Morningstar Fund Manager of the Decade awards. Morningstar will announce the award winners in January following its coveted Fund Manager of the Year awards. The Fund Manager of the Decade award, which is a new award from Morningstar, recognizes fund managers who have achieved superior results over the past 10 years and have an established record of serving shareholders well.
"The past 10 years have been the most brutal period for investors since the 1930s. Two severe bear markets wiped out years of prior gains and have left many investors with uninspiring returns over the entire period," said Karen Dolan, director of mutual fund analysis for Morningstar. "The nominees for this award excelled by relying on their own original research, preserving capital when needed, and having the patience to stick with their approaches in good times and bad."
Morningstar will select winners in three broad asset classes--domestic stock, international stock, and fixed income. The nominees for the Fund Manager of the Decade awards are:
Domestic-Stock Fund Manager of the Decade:
-- Bruce Berkowitz, Fairholme (FAIRX)
-- Charlie Dreifus, Royce Special Equity Investment (RYSEX)
-- Steve Romick, FPA Crescent (FPACX)
-- Joel Tillinghast, Fidelity Low-Priced Stock (FLPSX)
-- Don Yacktman, Yacktman (YACKX)
International-Stock Fund Manager of the Decade:
-- The team, American Funds EuroPacific Growth A (AEPGX)
-- The team, Manning & Napier World Opportunities A (EXWAX)
-- Jean-Marie Eveillard, First Eagle Global A (SGENX)
-- David Herro, Oakmark International Small Cap I and Oakmark International
I (OAKEX and OAKIX)
-- Dennis Stattman, BlackRock Global Allocation A (MDLOX)
Fixed-Income Fund Manager of the Decade:
-- The team, Dodge & Cox Income (DODIX)
-- Dan Fuss, Loomis Sayles Bond Retail (LSBRX)
-- Bill Gross, PIMCO Total Return Institutional (PTTRX)
-- Jeffrey Gundlach, TCW Total Return Bond I (TGLMX)
-- Christine Thompson, Fidelity Municipal Income and Fidelity Advisor
Municipal Income A (FHIGX and FAMUX)
"As the decade officially comes to a close, we'll evaluate these great managers and award those who did the best job steering their funds through this tumultuous period to achieve outstanding long-term performance for their investors," Dolan said.
While the awards focus on performance over the past decade, Morningstar takes into consideration other factors, including the fund manager's strategy, approach to risk, size of the fund, and stewardship. Both individual fund managers and management teams are eligible, and being a previous winner of the Morningstar Fund Manager of the Year award isn't a prerequisite. Morningstar's fund analysts will select the Fund Manager of the Decade award winners based on Morningstar's proprietary research and in-depth evaluation.
