WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Sept. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Slacker Radio, a wholly-owned subsidiary of LiveXLive Media Inc. (NASDAQ:LIVX), today announced the
debut of Shoudout, a content monetization and social platform, on Slacker's Pop Remix channel.
Shoudout was inspired by terrestrial radio "shout outs," the old school tradition of putting listeners who call in to
radio stations with messages, dedications, and proclamations, on the air. Shoudout improves on the concept by allowing
listeners to broadcast messages to a pre-selected audience (or "crowd"), at any time, without competing against other
callers for airtime. The six-second Shoudouts, recorded and sent via the mobile Shoudout app, will be broadcast on the Slacker
station within a specified time period. Brief micro-targeted advertisements air in conjunction with each Shoudout. Revenue
will be split between the two companies.
"Radio call-ins were an original form of social media," said Mike Bebel, EVP of corporate
development and rights management for LiveXLive Media, Inc. "Calling a radio station to dedicate a song to a friend, or cheer on
a sports team, is based on a desire to engage with others by delivering a personal message. Shoudout retains the spirit of
call-in radio shoutouts, but uses technology to enhance the experience while creating a new way for people to connect. And, at
the same time, create a new advertising and revenue opportunity."
"Slacker is excited to be introducing Shoudout's 'Social Music' platform to the listeners of the Pop Remix station,"
said Leo Abbe, chief entertainment officer for Shoudout Partners. "We hope to expand this mutually
beneficial partnership with all the Slacker service offerings as well as those of its parent, LiveXLive, and look forward
to creating a brand new monetization mechanism for the music streaming industry."

About Shoudout Partners, LLC
Shoudout Partners, LLC, which has developed the Shoudout! and Shoudify apps, is a content monetization platform which
takes an old school form of social media and reinvents it for the digital age. It is a combination of the traditional
"radio show call in/shout out" with the interactive and viral nature of today's social media. Our free iOS/Android app
allows users to record six second audio clips and then choose how and where they should play for their friends and peers. In
between songs, a shoudout, along with a highly targeted and contextual :08 sponsorship is heard by listeners of music streaming
services that are listening with that same "Shoudout Crowd", and can be "Thumdup" and shared on social media feeds. In addition
to Slacker's Pop Remix station, shoudouts can be heard on the Shoudout! app through our Shake Radio service or on Shoudify, which
we designed for Spotify listeners. "Crowds" are our answer to Facebook Groups, or Snap Groups can be formed by users of the
Shoudout! app. Learn more at www.shoudout.com
