Introductory Statement
 
This constitutes Amendment No. 3 (the “Third Amendment”) to the Statement on Schedule 13D, filed on July 24, 2007 (the “Schedule 13D”) and amended on January 18, 2008 (the “First Amendment”) and on May 8, 2008 (the “Second Amendment”). Except as otherwise described in this Third Amendment, the information contained in the Schedule 13D, as amended by the First Amendment and Second Amendment, remains in effect, and all capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings previously ascribed to them in Schedule 13D, as amended by the First Amendment and Second Amendment. Information given in response to each item in the Schedule 13D, as amended by the First and Second Amendment, shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items.
  
Item 4 is hereby supplemented with the following:
 
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
 
(d) and (g) On May 14, 2008, Trinad Capital Master Fund, Ltd. (“Trinad”) sent a letter to the Issuer demanding that the Issuer delay the currently scheduled 2008 Annual Meeting by [30] days and submit certain individuals’ names as the slate of directors for election to the Issuer’s Board of Directors. Trinad believes that the business proposal will give stockholders a greater voice in the governance and future strategic direction of the Issuer and change the way the Issuer conducts business. Trinad does not believe that certain members of the Issuer’s Board of Directors, as currently constituted, can provide the best, or even adequate, solutions to the Issuer’s current problems and maximize stockholder value and believes the Issuer’s performance, to date, has amply demonstrated that.
 
The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and may engage in discussions with the Issuer’s Board of Directors and/or management; other stockholders of the Issuer; and/or other relevant parties concerning the Issuer’s business, corporate governance, management and future plans. The Reporting Persons may take such actions in the future with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem advisable including, without limitation, purchasing additional shares or selling some or all of their shares, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the shares and/or otherwise changing their intention with respect to the matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Such actions will depend upon various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial and strategic direction and position, the response of the Board of Directors to the letter referred to above, the price performance of the Issuer’s shares, general conditions in the Issuer’s industry, the economy and the securities markets, and the availability of other investment opportunities.
 
Except as set forth above, the Reporting Persons have no present plan or proposal that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
 
Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.
 
The following exhibit is filed as part of this Schedule 13D/A:

Re:
Notice of Submission of Business Proposal for consideration at the 2008 Annual Meeting of stockholders of NTN Buzztime, Inc.
 
Dear Sir or Madam:
 
This letter is intended to serve as notice (the “Notice”) to NTN Buzztime, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NTN” or the “Company”), as to the submission by Trinad Capital Master Fund, Ltd. (“Trinad”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, of a business proposal for consideration at the 2008 annual meeting of stockholders of NTN, or any other meeting of stockholders held in lieu thereof, and any adjournments, postponements, reschedulings or continuations thereof (the “2008 Annual Meeting”).
 
Currently, Trinad is the beneficial owner of 4,934,3751  shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”), of NTN. On two previous occasions Trinad has written to the Company to demand that the Company take immediate action to improve the Company’s operating and stock performance. Since Trinad’s correspondence with the Company, the Company’s stock price has continued to fall and the Company has just announced huge losses for the most recent quarter. In light of the continued disastrous performance of the Company, we hereby demand that you delay the currently scheduled 2008 Annual Meeting by [30] days and submit the slate of directors set forth in this letter to the stockholders of the Company.
 
At the 2008 Annual Meeting Trinad intends to vote for the election of each of Dario Santana, Joseph Farricelli and Kirk Read to NTN’s Board of Directors (the “NTN Board”) and will withhold its vote for the election of the other nominees of the Company. Trinad also intends to vote for the four nominees presented below. The three Company nominees that Trinad intends to vote for and the four nominees described below constitute the full slate of seven directors supported by Trinad. Trinad hereby submits the following nominees for consideration at the 2008 Annual Meeting to serve as members of the NTN Board: Robert S. Ellin, Jay Wolf, Bruce Stein and Ian Aaron.
 

1 Trinad Management, LLC (as the manager of the Trinad Capital Master Fund, Ltd. and Trinad Capital LP); Robert S. Ellin, the managing director of and portfolio manager for Trinad Management, LLC; and the managing director of Trinad Advisors II LLC and Jay A. Wolf a managing director of and portfolio manager for Trinad Management, LLC may be deemed to have direct or indirect beneficial ownership of 4,934,375 shares of the common Stock held by Trinad Capital Master Fund, Ltd. representing approximately 8.8% of the common stock of the Company. Trinad Capital LP (as the owner of 82% of the shares of Trinad Capital Master Fund, Ltd. as of December 31, 2007) and Trinad Advisors II, LLC (as the general partner of Trinad Capital LP), may each be deemed to be the beneficial owners of 82% of the 4,934,375 shares of the common stock held by Trinad Capital Master Fund, Ltd., representing 4,046,187 shares or approximately 7.2% of the common stock of the Company.

The class and number of shares of NTN beneficially owned by such stockholder:
 
Currently, Trinad is the beneficial owner of 4,934,3752  shares of common stock of NTN.
 
 
A brief description of the business desired to be brought before the 2008 Annual Meeting and the reasons for wanting to conduct such business:
 
Trinad is proposing that the persons identified above be nominated to serve on the NTN Board in replacement of three of the nominees identified in NTN’s proxy for the 2008 Annual meeting.
 
Trinad is submitting the foregoing business proposal for consideration at the 2008 Annual Meeting in order to give stockholders a greater voice in the governance and future strategic direction of the Company and to change the way the Company conducts business. We do not believe that certain NTN Board members have been acting in the best interests of its stockholders and the performance of the Company has been horrendous. By voting in favor of the nominees named herein, the NTN stockholders will be allowed to demonstrate their dissatisfaction with the Company’s deteriorating operational performance and certain directors. Trinad does not believe the NTN Board, as currently constituted, can provide the best, or even adequate, solutions to the Company’s current problems and maximize stockholder value. Its performance to date has amply demonstrated that. Trinad further believes that its four nominees have the credentials, experience and knowledge to improve the Company’s performance and maximize stockholder value. We also believe that there will be overwhelming stockholder support for these four nominees.
 
Any interest that Trinad may have in such business:
 
Trinad does not have a material interest in the business proposals except as otherwise set forth herein.
 
 
 
 


2  Trinad Management, LLC (as the manager of the Trinad Capital Master Fund, Ltd. and Trinad Capital LP); Robert S. Ellin, the managing director of and portfolio manager for Trinad Management, LLC; and the managing director of Trinad Advisors II LLC and Jay A. Wolf a managing director of and portfolio manager for Trinad Management, LLC may be deemed to have direct or indirect beneficial ownership of 4,934,375 shares of the common Stock held by Trinad Capital Master Fund, Ltd. representing approximately 8.8% of the common stock of the Company. Trinad Capital LP (as the owner of 82% of the shares of Trinad Capital Master Fund, Ltd. as of December 31, 2007) and Trinad Advisors II, LLC (as the general partner of Trinad Capital LP), may each be deemed to be the beneficial owners of 82% of the 4,934,375 shares of the common stock held by Trinad Capital Master Fund, Ltd., representing 4,046,187 shares or approximately 7.2% of the common stock of the Company.

While we understand that the nominations may not have been made timely in accordance with the bylaws adopted by the NTN Board in February 2007, we believe (i) such amendments were invalid and designed solely to entrench the current NTN Board and were adopted by the NTN Board in breach of its fiduciary duties and (ii) seeking to enforce such bylaw provision would deprive the stockholders of an opportunity to voice their displeasure with the NTN Board and to improve the Company’s fortunes and would constitute yet an additional breach of the NTN Board’s fiduciary duties.
 
 
Once again, we demand that you postpone the 2008 Annual Meeting by [30] days, and cooperate with us in placing our slate before the stockholders. If we do not receive a prompt and satisfactory answer to this demand, we shall take such action as we deem necessary to protect our interests.
 
Very truly yours,
