MELVILLE, N.Y.--(Business Wire)--
Chyron (NASDAQ: CHYR) today announced that Fox Television Stations, Inc entered
into a multi-year agreement to utilize Chyron's AXIS online content creation
services at many of their stations. 

Adoption of AXIS services represents the first enterprise-class graphics
workflow solution for Fox Television Stations, which are already using numerous
Chyron products such as Chyron`s graphic asset management server CAMIO, the
multi- channel clip and still store system XClyps and established HyperX
graphics systems. Integration with AXIS empowers Fox Television Stations to
maintain total control of their On-Air graphics `look` by self fulfilling
graphics at the local level within the AXIS hosted environment. 

Chyron President Michael Wellesley-Wesley said, "The simplicity of the AXIS
approach redefines the creation workflows and distribution of broadcast graphics
in a multi-screen world." 

AXIS facilitates the rapid creation of daily breaking news graphics. Because
AXIS integrates directly with multiple content providers, cycle time from
creation to air is drastically reduced and productivity greatly enhanced. AXIS
tools, designed to be intuitive, can be used by everyone from reporters to
production assistants to news producers, making graphics production far more
efficient, with the added benefit of journalists and news producers retaining
direct control of content and the ability to enhance any graphic look. 

Wellesley-Wesley added, "We are delighted to welcome Fox Television Stations as
the latest user of AXIS services. Our companies have had a long collaborative
history and we are pleased to help with this project. 

"It is clear that our AXIS online services will play an important role in the
future of graphics production - on-air and online - for newspapers, radio, pure
play internet and, of course, television broadcasters."
