MINNETONKA, MN and FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, Jan 03 (MARKET
WIRE) --
BroadSign International Inc., a leading worldwide provider of hosted software
for
managing digital signage networks, today announced that Destination Television,
Inc.
(OTCBB: DSTV) has chosen BroadSign's Software as a Service (SaaS) solution
BroadSign(TM) Suite to operate its networks of digital screens in out-of-home
leisure venues.
Destination Television and its affiliates comprise one of the largest
digital
signage network operators whose media properties include displays in
high-traffic
areas in major US hotel chains, gyms and bars. The programming loop features
a mix of the latest movie trailers, music videos, advertising and useful local
information. The loop content and length are adjusted to customer
demographics and dwell times at each location. The company serves local,
regional and national advertisers and also produces content in-house.
"We offer our advertisers what traditional TV can not: we reach the
hard-to-get high income viewers when they are away from home or work and
ata fraction of the TV's ad cost," said Gordon Scott Venters, CEO of
Destination Television. "The ability to easily customize loop content and
schedules to each day at each location in a vast network is critical for
targeting our niche demographics and this is where BroadSign's application
perfectly
fits our needs."
Using BroadSign(TM) Suite will allow Destination Television's networks to
schedule and ensure content playback on each screen, monitor network and
campaign performance and produce proof-of-play reports for advertisers.
Theenterprise-scale software also makes it easy to manage media space inventory,
view avails, as well as target campaigns by demographic and geographic
criteria from one central location. The new software deployment is scheduled to
begin in January 2008.
"Destination Television is a great example of the new era of digital
media,where the mass audience is aggregated by engaging smaller target
audiences,"
said Rick Engels, BroadSign's president and CEO. "This type of narrowcasting
requires a powerful and sophisticated engine and BroadSign provides that type of
solution."
