MARKETRON TO PROVIDE TV TRAFFIC AND BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE SOLUTIONS TO ENTRAVISION Group Signs Multi-Year Deal Extending Inventory Management Software License; Corporate Management Gains Instant Views of Revenue & Inventory Across 40+ TV StationsBurlingame, Calif.—June 7, 2005—Marketron International today announced it will provide inventory management and business intelligence solutions to the Entravision Communications Corporation television group. More than forty of Entravisions television stations will manage their advertising inventory and billing with Marketron TV Traffic. Marketron Business Intelligence will enable Entravisions corporate managers to tap into sales and inventory information for individual stations, multiple stations or the entire group on demand. A long-time Marketron client, Entravision cited Marketrons expertise in broadcast management solutions and consolidated revenue and inventory reporting as critical factors in its decision. “Marketron software has long played a critical role in helping Entravision achieve our objectives,” said Philip Wilkinson, President and Chief Operating Officer of Entravision. “The station staff members who use Marketron TV Traffic every day value its remote access capabilities, electronic workflow and powerful reports. We are excited about the additional reporting capabilities available to our corporate staff with the Marketron Business Intelligence software, using reports we assisted Marketron in designing.” Marketron Business Intelligence presents daily pacing information alongside budget, forecast and historical results. The fully customizable revenue reports provide easy data manipulation, sub-totaling and drill-down capability for any level of analysis at the click of a button. Sophisticated data mapping and filtering tools will enable Entravision management to evaluate and rank performance by multiple criteria including customizable categories (e.g. Automotive, Telecom and Fast Food), business type (e.g. National and Local) and revenue type (e.g. Political, NTR and Local Agency). Reporting consistency measures built into Marketron Business Intelligence ensure that summary values are accurate. For example, group-wide advertiser reports account for variations in advertiser naming (e.g. General Motors vs. GM) across multiple stations. “We are honored that Entravision has decided to extend and expand its partnership with Marketron,” said Mike Jackson, CEO of Marketron International. “We developed Marketron Business Intelligence to help broadcasters maximize accountability and performance across the entire group. With more than 40 television stations, Entravision is sure to exact immediate and ongoing benefits from the combination of Marketron TV Traffic and Marketron Business Intelligence.” About Marketron TV Traffic Built for multi-station and multi-market operating environments, the Marketron TV Traffic solution reduces redundant data entry, optimizes inventory and increases revenues.
