ADS MEDIA SOLUTIONS INTRODUCES CABLE XTEND CROSS-CHANNEL INVENTORY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Ads Media Solutions.com a division of AdOutlet, announced today the launch of its newest internal sales solution, Cable Xtend: a cable television "cross-channel spot" management system designed to improve the ease and efficiency in which internal marketing departments allocate multiple channel commercial time.

Cable Xtend is based on AdOutlet's patent pending Advertising Distribution System ("ADS"'). It allows marketing and advertising sales personnel of multi-system operators ("MSO's) to efficiently manage the placement of internal advertising and marketing promotions within their hosted cable television networks.

While local cable systems sell a large portion of advertising inventory to third-party advertisers, they also maintain a percentage of this inventory for internal cross-channel promotion and product marketing. Cable Xtend helps marketing and advertising sales personnel manage and administer this inventory across dozens of cable systems in a cost effective, expeditious manner.

"ADS Media Solutions has responded directly to the needs of the cable industry by allowing marketing and advertising sales personnel to automate, search and allocate inventory across multiple networks and multiple systems. Our Cable Xtend product automates the laborious task of allocating cable cross channel inventory," says Alan Masarek, Chief Executive Officer of AdOutlet, parent company to ADS Media Solutions.

Using AdOutlet's Advertising Distribution System ("ADS"), ADS Media Solutions provides the only media technology available that offers integrated electronic commerce and inventory management solutions required for the media industry. The ADS technology provides multi-media, multi-station, and cable MSO's with the tools to create sophisticated internal media inventory management systems and private branded exchanges for a fraction of the cost and time to build one on their own. This digital system creates target-specific searches that identify available inventory and generate a tailor-made result directly to your computer. Users have greater control, access, and levels of service that are needed to facilitate decision making at today's faster pace.
