We take great pride in the fact that FastChannel's service enables customers to get their advertising content to more destinations faster than any other. In addition, online distribution offers great promise for future innovation and additional advertising process improvement."

"As of this week we are approaching 3100 online video destinations," said Tom Falcone, FastChannel Manager of Affiliate Relations.
