MediaRep Unveils Web Site Advertising Network SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- MediaRep, a division of Z.Com, today announced the debut of the MediaRep Web Site Advertising Network ( mediarep.com ). MediaRep represents advertising space on the new Z.Com portal ( z.com ), hundreds of radio station web sites, and over 1500 affiliated radio station portal sites known collectively as the World Network. Charter advertisers include Hilton Hotels, 1-800-Flowers, Cybermeals, and Netscape Communications Corp. "The synergy between radio and the web creates an ideal medium for advertisers," said Jeff Gold, CEO of Z.Com. "Radio listeners have strong station loyalties and will frequent Internet advertisers associated with their favorite station." MediaRep offers banner packages, sponsorship opportunities, and listings in the popular Holiday Shopping Guide section of Z.Com and affiliated portals. "We expect to serve one billion ad impressions within 12 months," said Gold. "Last month MediaRep Network sites served over 150 million hits." MediaRep's World Network portals integrate content from Z.Com as well as search capabilities from several major search engines including Yahoo Inc., Excite Inc., Snap by CNET Inc., NetFind by America Online Inc., and HotBot by Lycos Inc. While the MediaRep Advertising Network is a new undertaking, Z.Com's World Network and FM Net divisions have been providing web services to over 2000 radio stations for several years. "All six of our ABC sites have been with World Network for over three years," said Kristen Gordon, new media manager for ABC Radio Minneapolis. "In the Internet world that says a lot about professionalism, dependability, and the partnership we have created together."
