Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On May 23, 2008, C. Kirk Read, a non-employee director of NTN Buzztime, Inc. (the “Company”), resigned from the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company. His resignation letter stated that the resignation was due to pressing matters of business at his place of employment, Media General, Inc. (“Media General”) that made it impractical for Mr. Read to continue his service with the Board. Mr. Read’s letter also stated that his resignation from the Board did not involve any disagreement with the Company. At the time of his resignation, Mr. Read was a member of the Board’s Audit Committee.

In connection with Mr. Read’s resignation, on May 23, 2008, Media General filed an amended Schedule 13D with the Securities and Exchange Commission in which it stated that Media General would not nominate a replacement director, was relinquishing its right pursuant to that certain NTN Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of May 7, 2003 to designate a director to serve on the Board, and was also declining its Board observer rights.

As described in the Company’s proxy statement relating to its annual meeting of stockholders scheduled to be held on May 30, 2008 (the “Annual Meeting”), Mr. Read had been selected by the Board as a nominee for election as a director at the Annual Meeting. The Board does not intend to designate another person to replace Mr. Read as a nominee for election as a director at the Annual Meeting.
