NEW YORK, Oct. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Internet Broadcasting, the leading local Internet solution provider for broadcast publishers and advertisers targeting local markets, today shared plans for its comprehensive election night package. As part of the offering, IB announced that it will provide the fastest-available, most up-to-date election feed results for its network of hosted local television station Web sites.

The IB network will deliver the single-fastest Presidential election results, updated every 3-7 minutes. IB will also provide results for all gubernatorial and Congressional races, as well as state initiatives of national importance. Offering speed, functionality and interactivity, other elements of IB's in-depth election night package include:

-- National Presidential Results Map: This feature gives users a dynamically updated view of how each state is reporting totals in the race for President. The map includes an Electoral College tally, the popular vote tally, state by state vote tallies and a link to live county by county numbers.

-- Balance of Power Snapshot: An interactive Flash feature will showcase the real-time balance of power in the Senate and House and gives users a snapshot of Congressional races.

-- Custom Polls and Forums: A wide range of surveys, custom poll options and forums to engage local users on the issues that matter to them.

-- Leading Content from National and Local News Sources: Links to a full range of election video clips, as well as breaking national and local election night news stories.

IB CEO David Lebow commented, "IB's ability to offer the fastest-available election night results helps give our local television station partners a competitive edge in what is shaping up to be the most exciting election of our time. Through our focus on high-quality content and market-leading tools, we're adding an extraordinary level of user engagement to our network. No more hopping around from site to site, online users can now get everything they need on Election Day from their local television Web site."

The debut of IB's comprehensive election night package builds on the momentum of the company's record traffic and usage in August of 2008, which was in part driven by the company's coverage of the Democratic and Republican National Conventions. For the second consecutive time in September, the combined IB network of sites surpassed 50MM UVs (according to comScore Media Metrix), benefiting local television stations and local and national advertising customers.
