Intertainment Media Inc.'s desktop app KNCTR (pronounced "Connector") - a key program of Intertainment's wholly owned division itiBiti Systems Inc. continues to deliver incremental week over week new growth in unique users installing the KNCTR application in North America by adding another 72,876 unique installations.
KNCTR has now surpassed 400,000 unique installations throughout North America since its official launch and the program continues to be part of the consumer's daily digital routine with an average of over 14 minutes of daily active user engagement. This exceptional loyalty positions the premium advertising supported KNCTR model as a key engagement tool with features such as great video content, interaction with social medias and making FREE long distance phone calls to cell phones and land lines to anywhere in North America.
KNCTR is the next generation of social communications applications that allows users to aggregate their social media(s) and voice services into one location on their desktop.

"We're seeing more and more adoption, sharing and engagement with KNCTR." said Brad Parry, CMO Intertainment Media Inc., "And as this continues to take hold and grow, KNCTR is truly becoming a 'must have' application for content providers, advertisers and consumers."
