PLAINVIEW, NY -- 11/02/09 --
NeuLion, Inc. (TSX: NLN) ("NeuLion" or the
"Company"), an end-to-end IPTV service provider of live and on-demand
sports, international and variety programming over the Internet, announced
today the closing on October 31, 2009 of its acquisition of Interactive
Netcasting Systems Inc. ("INSINC").
The Company previously announced its proposed acquisition of INSINC by
press release on October 6, 2009.
INSINC held a meeting of its shareholders on October 29, 2009 at which
resolutions in favor of the acquisition were voted on and passed
unanimously. The Supreme Court of British Columbia in Vancouver issued its
Final Order approving the acquisition on October 30, 2009.
The acquisition brings together unique synergies that exist between the two
companies' respective sports clients. INSINC's largest clients include the
Western Hockey League (WHL), Ontario Hockey League (OHL), Central Hockey
League (CHL), British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL), Central Canadian
Hockey League (CCHL), Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL), and Central
Junior Hockey League (CJHL). When combined with NeuLion clients such as
the National Hockey League (NHL) and the American Hockey League (AHL), the
Company will have an unmatched presence in the delivery of online video
experiences for the North American hockey world.
INSINC's other sports clients include the Canadian Football League (CFL);
when combined with such NeuLion clients as the National Football League
(NFL) and the approximately 175 US colleges, schools and conferences for
which NeuLion streams sports programming, the combined Company will have an
unmatched presence in the delivery of online sports video in North America.

Forward-Looking Statement
Certain statements herein are forward-looking statements and represent
NeuLion's current intentions in respect of future activities. These
statements, in addressing future events and conditions, involve inherent
risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can by identified by
the use of the words "will," "expect," "seek," "anticipate," "believe,"
"plan," "estimate," "expect," and "intend" and statements that an event or
result "may," "will," "can," "should," "could," or "might" occur or be
achieved and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements involve
significant risk, uncertainties and assumptions. Many factors could cause
actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from the
results discussed or implied in the forward-looking statements. These
factors should be considered carefully and readers should not place undue
reliance on the forward-looking statements. Although the forward-looking
statements contained in this release are based upon what management
believes to be reasonable assumptions, the Company cannot assure readers
that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of
this release and the Company assumes no obligation to update or revise them
to reflect new events or circumstances, except as required by law. Many
factors could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the
Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements, including: the integration of the businesses of NeuLion and
INSINC, our continued relationships with our channel partners, general
economic and market segment conditions, competitor activity, product
capability and acceptance, rates, technology changes and international risk
and currency exchange. More specific risks include that the acquired entity
will not be able to realize some or all of the expected synergies due to
incompatibilities in the parties' businesses, the inability of management
to bring about such synergies or a changing business environment rendering
such synergies inadvisable or uneconomical. After integrating the acquired
business, the suite of service offerings may not perform as expected if
shifting demand moves in a direction away from our expected business model,
if competitors are able to take market share away from us or if changing
technology adversely impacts us. In addition, while the Company expects its
content partners and those of INSINC to continue and expand their
relationship with each of us, there can be no assurance that such
relationships will continue as expected, or at all. A more detailed
assessment of the risks that could cause actual results to materially
differ from current expectations is contained in the "Risk Factors" section
of the Company's 2008 annual MD&A and AIF filed on www.sedar.com and
Registration Statement on Form 10, as amended, available on www.sec.gov.
