    The study was conducted at GSTV-equipped gas stations in some of the
nation's top media markets including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and
Atlanta.
    "The research in this year's study of expanded markets shows consistency
in the data that people are engaged in their viewing of GSTV while they pump
their gas," said Paul Lindstrom, vice president, Nielsen Strategic Media
Research.  "We are excited about our expanded relationship with GSTV for
regular audience measurement during 2008.  GSTV is committed to providing the
advertising community with the tools to simplify the buying process."
    Results from the study also showed that advertising national brand recall
on the GSTV network averaged an extremely high 50 percent among respondents
recalling one or more brands.  Additionally, 84 percent of the key 18-24 year
old demographic recalled more than one ad.
    "We all know the TV commercial is not dead," said David Leider, CEO of
GSTV.  "Yet, with DVR penetration reaching its tipping point and millions of
people each week getting their TV fix 'off the couch' where they work and
play, advertisers are forced to develop new and creative ways to engage their
audiences.  GSTV has once again proven that it is an effective strategy for
reaching today's on-the-go consumer.  At-the-pump digital video from GSTV,
printable maps and driving directions have transformed the gas station into a
true media destination -- and some of the nation's largest, most recognized
brands are taking notice.  As the Nielsen numbers show, consumers are
willingly engaged in GSTV's content and extremely receptive to our
advertisers' messaging."
    With more than 30 million viewers a month in over 365 cities in the
nation's top media markets, GSTV is at the forefront of the digital media
landscape.  The company is in partnership with some of the world's most
recognized advertisers, gas station retailers and pump technology providers.
Most recently, GSTV entered into partnership with CBS Corporation to provide
viewers with the most dynamic mix of news and customized entertainment
content.
