NEW YORK, Sept. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Adding three separate properties to a growing collection of national and local radio broadcasters and streaming music services, powerful ad serving technology and marketplace, TargetSpot, Inc. today announced partnerships with Beasley Broadcast Group, Rubber City Radio Group and Haystack Media.

The three new additions to TargetSpot's roster represent a telling cross-section of the broadcast world:

* One of the nation's top broadcasters, Beasley Broadcast Group owns 44
stations in eleven radio markets across the United States, including
stations in some of the largest markets in the country, such as
Philadelphia and Miami.

* A significant regional player in the Midwest, Rubber City Radio Group
owns seven stations in Ohio and Michigan.

* Haystack Media is a cutting edge web 2.0 music service that focuses on
linking up listeners and artists, and uses an innovative compensation
program to ensure that artists receive payment for the Broadcast of
their work.

These three Broadcast groups are the latest to partner with TargetSpot, which went live this month, and will soon be available on over 400 stations nationwide. Two of the top five broadcasters in the nation, CBS Radio and Entercom Communications Corp, and one of the founding companies of internet radio, WarpRadio, have already partnered with TargetSpot.

TargetSpot's patent pending technology allows businesses of all sizes to create, buy and place their own advertising messages within streaming media. Using TargetSpot's system, advertisers can create cost-effective customized audio, video, banner and text ads with an array of jingles, sound effects and visuals provided by TargetSpot. Clients can also upload their current creative directly into their TargetSpot account. Ads are then targeted to a specific demographic, location and/or station. Campaign costs vary with advertising revenue being shared among TargetSpot and the participating broadcaster. Advertisers can open a TargetSpot account with as little as $50.

"We're optimistic about working with TargetSpot and exploring innovative new revenue opportunities for our stations," said Kathleen McCarten Bricketto, VP Interactive, Beasley Broadcast Group.

"We are very pleased that broadcasters from the full range of market segments are recognizing the benefits of TargetSpot's streaming media advertising platform," said TargetSpot CEO Doug Perlson. "We are finding that there is a great pent-up demand for our platform, one that provides an easy- to-use method for broadcasters to monetize their streaming media audience, while allowing advertisers easy access to this growing advertising market."

"In a short time, we have established a great geographic and demographic diversity for advertisers. From publicly traded companies like Beasley, respected regional players like Rubber City, to web 2.0 music services like Haystack Media, these three new additions to our line-up are indicative of the breadth of the networks using our platform.
