ATLAS MEDIA CORP. & CROWN PUBLISHING IN MAJOR BOOK DEAL BASED ON TOP RATED ‘DR.G MEDICAL EXAMINER’ TV SERIES

NEW YORK, OCTOBER 5, 2007 — Atlas Media Corp., which earlier this year announced the formation of a feature film division, has once again significantly expanded the scope of its multi-platform activities. Bruce David Klein, president and executive producer, of Atlas Media Corp., announced today that the company has concluded a major book deal with Crown Publishing Group based on its originally-produced television series, Dr. G: Medical Examiner.

The #1 rated program airing on Discovery Health Channel is now in its fourth season and stars Dr. Jan Garavaglia. The agreement with Crown Publishing’s Executive Editor, Heather Jackson was brokered by Stephen Hanselman, founder of LevelFiveMedia, on behalf of Atlas Media Corp.

Atlas Media, in association with Crown Publishing and Dr. Garavaglia, will develop the book HOW NOT TO DIE: Surprising Lessons on Living Longer, Safer and Healthier from America’s Favorite Medical Examiner. According to Mr. Klein the book will turn the table on the health category by using the popular fascination with forensic pathology to provide an enlightening new window on the everyday decisions we make that affect our longevity, safety and overall health.

Mr. Klein remarked, “Dr. G has been a signature series for Atlas Media and Discovery Health and, in that regard, it is most fitting that the program is leading our company’s charge into book publishing. Our association with top book agent Stephen Hanselman at LevelFiveMedia will be key to our efforts on the book publishing front.” He added, “While Atlas’ roots remain in television, our future success will also come from our ability to develop content that seamlessly works across multiple media platforms.”

About Crown Publishing Group The Crown Publishing Group is a division of Random House, Inc., the world’s #1 trade publishing house, and has been in business since 1933 and publishes a broad range of authors including: Barack Obama, Jean Chatzky, Jorge Cruise, Nancy Snyderman, Rachael Ray, Martha Stewart, Deepak Chopra, Caroline Myss, Suzanne Somers, Timothy Ferriss, and many others. In 2006, Crown had 46 New York Times Bestsellers with 13 books at #1.

About Atlas Media Corp. Established in 1989 by filmmaker Bruce David Klein, Atlas Media Corp. ranks among the world’s leading independent producers of award-winning, non-fiction content. In 2007 the company launched its documentary feature film division, which, in addition to Meat Loaf: In Search Of Paradise, is producing two other projects in 2007: Robert Blecker Wants Me Dead and an untitled World Music film. Atlas Media will average three to five independent documentary films annually with budgets of up to $2,000,000 and will also look to shepherd existing third-party projects that require some completion funding and creative consulting services.

For the past two years, Atlas Media has been noted on the RealScreen Global 100 list as one of the largest and most influential non-fiction production companies in the world, and its award-winning productions have become staple programming for such prestigious distribution channels as Google, The History Channel, RTL, FEARnet, GSN, National Geographic Channel, Discovery Health, A&E, PBS, The Travel Channel, Fuse, The Disney Channel, TLC, USA Network, Food Network and WE tv.
