WORLDLINK - A LEADING EXPERT IN DIRECT RESPONSE AD SALES -
PARTNERS WITH INTEREP TO EXTEND ITS DR REACH INTO RADIO

Radio Ad Sales Veteran Peter Pilcher to Lead New Division

Los Angeles, CA - December 5, 2005 - WorldLink and Interep (OTCBB: IREP) announced today that they have formed a partnership that will extend WorldLink's direct response advertising resources to include Interep's 1,500 plus client radio stations.

WorldLink will utilize its extensive relationships with direct response agencies to bring new advertisers to Interep's client radio stations. Radio is a growing presence in the direct response marketplace and provides a unique and efficient way to access national audiences with the power of direct response.

"Partnering with a market leader like Interep instantly and dramatically expands the audience for the direct response advertisers we work with regularly," WorldLink founder and CEO Toni Erickson Knight said. "Many of these companies have told us they are anxious to add radio to their portfolio. Thanks to this relationship with Interep, we're able to offer them customizable packages of stations tailored to their needs."

"We couldn't have found a better partner than WorldLink to be associated with in this new venture," said Jill Albert, Senior Vice President and Director of Marketing for Interep. "Our stations recognize the value of Direct Response and we are excited to work with Toni and her team to bring new opportunities to the advertisers and our client radio stations."

Furthering its expansion into the medium, WorldLink has brought in radio advertising veteran Peter Pilcher as Account Manager for the new division that will focus on selling direct response ads to Interep's customizable network of radio stations, which includes some of the nation's largest broadcasters.

Mr. Pilcher brings 25 years worth of experience in the radio and broadcast industries to WorldLink. Working for such companies as Interep, Y-107-FM in Los Angeles, Continental Broadcasting and Italian Stallion Entertainment, Pilcher has expertise in local spot radio, national radio and television rep firms, Hispanic radio and Hispanic Television. He will be based out of WorldLink's Los Angeles headquarters.

"Direct response advertising is catching fire on radio, and WorldLink is a forward-looking company that knows how to maximize opportunities for its clients," Mr. Pilcher said. "I'm excited about the opportunities to work with a great group of people, and an impressive line-up of customers."

With more and more marketers focusing on advertising ROI, the direct response and infomercial opportunities that WorldLink sells are becoming increasingly sought-out. Radio is especially conducive to advertisers' needs for targeted audiences and reliable results.

More than 95% of Americans tune in to radio at some point each week. Moreover, radio holds its audiences consistently throughout the year, even in summer, when other activities compete for consumers' time. Those strengths, along with the medium's ability to target listeners by age, income, gender and education level, make for highly effective direct response advertising campaigns.

The opportunities offered by WorldLink for maximizing the effectiveness of direct response radio include using radio infomercials to reinforce TV infomercials and using direct response radio to launch new products.
