Clear Channel-owned
KLRT (Little Rock, AR) has purchased
Newsroom's leading NewsTicker platform, including the digital FreedomSD.
The installation represents the eleventh Clear Channel station to have a
NewsTicker license.
The local FOX affiliate will use NewsTicker's full product suite for ticker,
branding and promotion, school closings, election reporting and severe weather.
"One of the major advantages of the Newsroom Solutions platform is the direct
line of responsibility," said Rick Summers, Newsroom's Vice President for
Sales and Marketing. "With Newsroom, there is one vendor that works with you
for data collection, whether automated or manual, graphics generation, and
playout. You'll never get multiple vendors all pointing their fingers at
each other. Broadcasters like KLRT get this and want to work through one
vendor relationship."
Clear Channel Television owns or operates 40 stations nationwide. They serve in 25 markets from coast to coast and are affiliated with all 7 networks, including 2 independents. Full service news departments operate in 24 markets including two in Spanish Language.
Clear Channel Television is a division of Clear Channel Communications, Inc.
(NYSE: CCU), a leading global media and entertainment company.
