Townsquare Media Standardizes on WideOrbit

Townsquare to deploy WideOrbit software for traffic, digital audio streaming and business intelligence across its portfolio of 310 stations SAN FRANCISCO, August 22, 2016 - WideOrbit Inc., the leading provider of advertising management software for media companies, said today that Townsquare Media, Inc. ( Townsquare ) will deploy WideOrbit's WO Traffic platform at all 310 of its radio stations. In addition, Townsquare plans to implement WideOrbit's WO Traffic Digital Orders to manage its audio streaming and web site advertising, WO Streaming for audio streaming operations and WO Analytics for business intelligence.

Townsquare's installation of WO Traffic will be WideOrbit's largest-ever deployment of its traffic platform at a single radio station group. Townsquare is the third largest owner of radio stations in the United States by number of radio stations owned. In addition to its portfolio of 310 radio stations and 325 local web sites in 66 U.S. media markets, the company operates approximately 550 live events, a digital marketing company and one of the nation's largest digital advertising networks.

The selection of WideOrbit is the culmination of a multiyear company initiative by Townsquare to standardize radio and digital audio advertising operations across its entire portfolio.

WideOrbit gives our stations the very best tools and resources for growing their businesses, increasing their listenership and serving clients, said Stuart Rosenstein, executive vice president and chief financial officer at Townsquare.

Mr. Rosenstein continued, Standardizing on WideOrbit will simplify our business from top to bottom. We will be able to manage the ad sales of our portfolio from one database rather than the 66 we use today. We expect that working with WideOrbit will help us improve business efficiency and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and identify new opportunities to enhance ROI.

It's obvious that a project of this scale and ambition is a huge commitment for any station group, so we are honored that Townsquare has selected us to be its partner for advertising, digital audio and business intelligence, said Eric R. Mathewson, founder and chief executive officer, WideOrbit. By moving its 310 radio stations to a unified technology stack, Townsquare will improve its ability to control day-to-day operations, expand revenue opportunities on digital platforms, and find new ways to enhance the company's bottom line.
