Syndicaster, which also works for broadcast radio, is operated by the company's new Broadcaster Services Group. The Group, led by former WorldNow executive Ion Puspurica, is responsible for providing a complete solution to broadcasters, facilitating the migration of their content online and accelerating delivery of discrete searchable assets to their own websites, Critical Media's ad supported syndication platform, ClipSyndicate (www.clipsyndicate.com) and other online distribution points in multiple formats. Broadcasters can sign up to take advantage of this new revenue- generating offer at www.syndicaster.tv.

Syndicaster, a completely web-based application that fits in any existing workflow, enables broadcasters to leverage Critical Media's proprietary, globally distributed real-time broadcast capture infrastructure, already digitizing their content in real-time, making every minute keyword searchable within 60 seconds of airtime, by simply using a free user name and password from any location, any time.

"We worked hard to create a truly risk-free, streamlined environment intended to take all complexity out of distributing and monetizing broadcast video online, and are elated to have KSL, by far the most trafficked television station website in the United States, start using our services," said Ion Puspurica EVP of Critical Media, GM Syndicaster. "KSL has built its reputation through unwavering service of our community. With Syndicaster we can now leverage our values oriented programming outside our local market, on thousands of vertically focused sites while generating incremental revenues at the same time. It is a typical win-win situation," adds Stephan Bergen, Director Internet Operations KSL-TV.
