LODGENET INTERACTIVE TO PARTICIPATE
IN UBS’ 37TH ANNUAL GLOBAL MEDIA AND COMMUNICATIONS CONFERENCE

To Report Progress on Strategic Initiatives and Reaffirm Fourth Quarter 2009 Guidance

SIOUX FALLS, SD, December 8, 2009 — LodgeNet Interactive Corporation (NASDAQ: LNET), the leading provider of media and connectivity solutions to hospitality and healthcare businesses, today announced that its Chairman and CEO Scott C. Petersen will participate in UBS’ Global Media and Communications Conference on Wednesday, December 9, 2009, in New York, NY. Mr. Petersen will discuss the Company’s strategy, its success in proactively managing its business during the evolving economic conditions of 2009, and progress on its strategic initiatives to diversify revenue and drive free cash flow. During the presentation, Mr. Petersen will also reaffirm the Company’s fiscal guidance for the fourth quarter of 2009, which was originally provided on October 21, 2009.

Some highlights of LodgeNet’s recent strategic achievements include:

	•		Revenue Diversification: Revenue generated by sources other than guest entertainment purchases increased 15% during the first nine months of 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008 and now represents 40% of total revenue.
	•		Proactive Management: Given the economic environment, LodgeNet reduced its operating expenses by 25% and its capital expenditures by 70% during the first nine months 2009. As a result of this management approach, the Company increased its cash flow by four fold during the first 9 months of 2009, from $9.9 million in 2008 to $46.3 million in 2009.
	•		Debt Reduction: During the first nine months of 2009, LodgeNet reduced its debt by more than 15%, or $92 million.
	•		Innovative Product Arrangements: LodgeNet reduced its level of capital investment per interactive room by an average of 20% between new and renewal rooms in 2009, and further capital reductions representing a $50-$75, or 20%-25% savings per average system installation are anticipated through the innovative arrangements LodgeNet recently announced with LG Electronics and Philips, the two leading TV manufacturers for the hospitality market. The two electronics firms are now licensed to integrate LodgeNet’s patented b-LAN communications technology directly into their televisions during assembly, creating out-of-the-box “LodgeNet ready” sets.
	•		Healthcare: LodgeNet’s Healthcare division increased its facilities under contract in 2009 by 30% to more than 55 facilities nationwide. Recently, the division signed agreements with several award-winning hospitals and made inroads into the children’s hospital segment, with Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota joining Morgan Stanley and Children’s Pittsburgh, as well as the new Sanford Children’s Hospital on LodgeNet’s roster of well-known pediatric facilities. LodgeNet Healthcare has also been selected to address the needs of government armed forces facilities at the Veterans Administration hospital in Washington DC, and Naval hospitals in Jacksonville and Pensacola, Florida.
	•		The Hotel Networks: THN continues its emergence as an innovative programmer through the introduction of two additional content offerings. Starting in Jan 2010, the English-speaking RT World News Channel will be distributed through THN’s private satellite network in over 800 major hotels. In early spring of 2010, Fashion TV “Jet Set Edition” will launch in select upscale hotels throughout the country. This customized channel will be produced with cooperation of FTV, the world’s leader in Fashion programming, and will be carried on THN’s Interactive channels.
