Wicks Broadcast Solutions and Infinity
Broadcasting Announce Agreement to Integrate Wicks Software in All 185 Infinity
Radio Stations
Reedsport, Oregon and New York
City, NY, November 24, 2003:
Wicks Broadcast Solutions, LLC ("WBS"), the
leading provider of media broadcast management software, has entered into
an agreement with Infinity Broadcasting, one of the largest radio broadcasting
companies in the United States, based in New York City, to integrate Wicks' DeltaFlex 4
Broadcast Management and Control Tower Reporting
and Data Consolidation systems, into Infinity's 185 radio stations located
throughout the U.S.
In
announcing the agreement, Pete D'Acosta, Chief Executive Officer of WBS, said,
"This is a landmark deal for WBS, and represents a strong endorsement of our
products, our attention to detail, and, most importantly, our dedicated staff.
Once the standardization is complete and Control
Tower is installed, Infinity will have secure access and an accurate daily
snap shot of every station from each traffic system. We already enjoy a strong
relationship with Infinity, and with this decision to standardize and add Control Tower, we look forward to
building an outstanding partnership for years to come."
"We're
very excited about expanding our already strong relationship with Pete and his
team," said Jacques Tortoroli, Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer, Infinity.
"Wicks
has clearly shown us their unrelenting commitment to
client service, and responsiveness in product development.
Having all our stations on a common platform
will provide our organization with more insightful and actionable information,
delivered seamlessly across our business."
DeltaFlex
4, the most
comprehensive traffic/billing/broadcast management software system, is designed
to meet the needs of the most demanding stations and companies. Unequalled
traffic and billing performance is delivered through an impressive array of
features.
With Control Tower, detailed assignment of
goals and targets can be matched against actual and projected sales. For the
corporate financial officer, Control
Tower aggregates all of this information generated at the station and
market level, and presents simple to read reports and graphs via a web browser.
Infinity
operates 185 radio stations, the majority of which are in the nation's top 50
markets and reach more than 76 million listeners a week.
WBS is an affiliate of The Wicks Group of Companies,
L.L.C.
of New York which specializes
in communications, information and media businesses.
