Millenia 3 Partners With Teletrax for Television Networks' Advertising Verification

Teletrax Provides Ad Distribution Company Clients With Critical Performance Data

NEW YORK, Aug. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Teletrax, the global broadcast intelligence company, today announced it has signed an agreement with Millenia 3 Communications, a company dedicated to the promotional needs of network and syndicated television. Teletrax is a subsidiary of Medialink Worldwide Incorporated (NASDAQ:MDLK) .

Millenia 3 customizes and electronically distributes television, radio and online advertising for its clients, which consist of major television and cable networks such as all of the Disney-ABC Television Group entities and Turner Networks including Cartoon Network, CNN, TBS, TNT and Turner Sports. Millenia 3 is utilizing the Teletrax(TM) suite of broadcast verification services to monitor and track the television advertisements for each of its clients, providing accurate market and measurement data that enables the company to verify the correct commercial airs at the scheduled time.

"Teletrax allows us to monitor client ads to ensure a particular commercial airs during its pre-designated time, which is pertinent for television networks that have a need to determine that spots air according to schedule and guarantee delivery of the correct message," said Robert Owen, president of Millenia 3 Communications. "Teletrax's service is a critical tool in the marketing arsenals of all our network clients, and the reporting aspect allows us to correct problems in flight, something we didn't have the ability to do in the past."

"Millenia 3 is a unique company with a stellar client roster, and we are pleased to have been chosen to monitor their client television advertising content," said Andy Nobbs, president of Teletrax. "Teletrax solutions have been proven highly effective and have already made rapid strides in the direct response television space, and we are pleased that these gains are also being achieved in the broader advertising market."

Teletrax offers the first and only digital video monitoring and content tracking service that provides vital broadcast intelligence on a global scale to video providers such as entertainment studios, news organizations, TV syndicators, and the advertising industry. Launched as a service developed by a joint venture between Royal Philips Electronics of the Netherlands (NYSE: PHG) and Medialink, with an underlying technology that is patent protected both by Philips and Digimarc Corp. (NASDAQ:DMRC) , Teletrax's technology embeds an imperceptible and indelible digital watermark into video whenever it is edited, transmitted, broadcast or duplicated.

A global network of detectors then captures all occurrences of the embedded video being transmitted and generates tracking reports for the content owners. Reports of individual broadcast airings are delivered online in near real-time to each client's custom-designed portal or in data file transfers. Each client's broadcast activity is updated dynamically, 24 hours a day, enabling clients to respond immediately to reported results such as changes in end-user preferences or detections of unauthorized use.

Teletrax currently maintains a proprietary network of detectors that monitors the television broadcasts of nearly 1,500 channels from more than 50 nations, including all 210 markets in the United States, representing all measured U.S. television households. Its international network covers television stations across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Australia, South and Central America, and Canada.

Entertainment, news and media organizations both within and outside of the United States that also have contracted to use Teletrax for the tracking of news video, advertising or promotional content include ABC Television Network, BBC, CBS Television, Disney-ABC Domestic Television, Fox Broadcasting Company, NBC News Channel, The NBC Agency, NBC Universal Domestic Television, Reuters Television, Tribune Entertainment, United Nations, ITN Networks, Euro RSCG 4D DRTV, and Medialink. A number of other companies are also in active trials with the Teletrax service.
