GLOBAL MEDIA BROADCAST NETWORK SIGNS STARCAST SYSTEMS INC.
VANCOUVER, Aug. 5 /CNW-PRN/ - Global Media (OTC BB:GLMC)
(http://www.globalmedia.com) announced today that it has signed an
exclusive agreement with Starcast Systems Inc. which joins them to the
Global Media Broadcast Network.
Starcast Systems Inc. is the owner of three radio stations: WQZK-FM;
WKLP-AM (Cumberland Maryland market); and WBHN-AM (Bryson City, North
Carolina).
''Getting involved with Global Media was a natural step for WQZK-FM.
The Global package represents a fantastic opportunity for broadcasters
to take part in the evolution of radio which will transform them from
local and regional stations serving thousands, to worldwide stations
serving millions. With the Global Media e-commerce solution, we can now
generate revenue not only from a limited local and regional advertiser
base, but limitless on-line retail sales opportunity,'' said Jack
Mullen, President and General Manager of operations of Starcast
Systems, Inc.
''Retail sales are a new and exciting source of revenue for the 21st
century radio station. We, at the Starcast Stations, are excited and
ready to be part of this explosion of opportunity. We are ready to get
'rockin' with Global Media.''
''Our Flagship Station, WQZK-FM, accesses over 260,000 people in parts
of four states. Our Format is a modern, twenty-first century
presentation of classic rock and today's new adult alternative rock
music. WQZK-FM (Q94) has been playing rock and roll, in some form or
other, since 1981, and has always been the market leader in technology
and programming.''
Global Media is the only e-commerce business to aggregate audio and
video streaming while enhancing its site frames with not only daily
updated static editorial content, but live experiences of music, video
and flash animation that will promote sales of thousands of available
products.
The Global Media Player and Network Associate Program offer numerous
non-traditional revenue streams. Through demographically targeted
advertising opportunities and the sale of entertainment products, the
Internet Broadcast Solution is no longer an expense to Radio and TV
properties. Instead, it becomes a viable revenue generating system.
The Global Media Player gives Radio and other Media properties the
advantage of maintaining and building their brand names on the
Internet, while providing the most compelling user experience possible.
With its intuitive interface design and extensive use of dynamic
content and animation, which promotes interactive experience, the
Global Media Player is a unique media appliance.
The Global Media Player is the portal through which all of the Global
Media Broadcast Network aggregated audio and video broadcasts can be
accessed. Searchable by genre, it will provide extensive information
about the broadcaster, as well as a link to the private-label
e-commerce site.
