BRIAN STEACY JOINS IMAGINON AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF SALES FOR ImOn.comTV INTERNET TELEVISION PRODUCT

Appointment of HealthCentral.com and Sun Microsystems, Inc. veteran is one of several moves by ImaginOn to strengthen its sales and marketing infrastructure as it prepares to introduce its ImOn.comTV Internet TV product at NAB 2000.

SAN CARLOS, CALIFORNIA, February 15, 2000 Moving to strengthen its sales and marketing infrastructure in preparation for the upcoming NAB 2000 launch of its ImOn.comTV Internet TV product, ImaginOn, Inc. (NASDAQ: IMON), today announced that Brian Steacy has joined the Company as Executive Director of Sales. Effective immediately, the HealthCentral.com and Sun Microsystems sales veteran assumes responsibility for the development and implementation of sales programs to support the ImOn.comTV product in all of its target channels. In this capacity he reports directly to ImaginOn Vice President of Business Development Sue Ann von Kaeppler.

"Brian's appointment represents a major step forward in the completion of the Company's core sales and marketing department," von Kaeppler said today. "He brings to ImaginOn 12 years of sales, sales management, product management, engineering, and systems analysis expertise that will directly benefit the ImOn.comTV product introduction and ongoing sales programs."

Brian Steacy comes to ImaginOn from HealthCentral.com, Emeryville, California, where, for the last two years, he served as Director of Sales & Marketing. He played an instrumental role in managing the Company's transition from selling consulting services to selling products. In 1999 he tripled the Company's sales. Prior to this, he served from 1987 until 1998 at Sun Microsystems, Inc., Mountain View, California, where he held a number of positions, including Sales Representative, Product Manager, and Technical Support Manager.

"I am tremendously excited to join ImaginOn at this critically important crossroads in the Company's history," Steacy said today. "I look forward to helping ImaginOn realize its short and long-term sales objectives while also building a strategically focused, results oriented sales team that understands how to present the profit potential inherent in the turnkey ImOn.comTV Internet TV station in a box. In fact, I expect to bring on two additional ImOn.comTV Account Executives before the NAB 2000 trade show in Las Vegas."

Brian Steacy's appointment is one of several senior management appointments announced by ImaginOn over the last several months. In October 1999 Sue Ann von Kaeppler joined the Company as Vice President of Business Development. In December 1999 James Newcomb was appointed Chief Financial Officer. More recently still, ImaginOn has added a marketing assistant and Web designer to its marketing department and is now in the process of hiring four new engineers.
