Yellow Pages on TV is available to all of OneLink's digital subscribers with a simple push of a button on their Scientific Atlanta remote. The application from FourthWall Media runs on FourthWall's successful EBIF Platform which has been in place for almost two years. OneLink serves the San Juan Metro area.

Axesa, majority owned by Caribe Media, Inc. an affiliate of Local Insight Media Holdings, publishes directories island-wide. Axesa provides the data feed for the Yellow Pages on TV application and began selling this new banner advertising opportunity in mid-July to existing customers. Advertisers can choose between a full feature banner ad and a bold listing.

The application allows viewers to retrieve merchant phone numbers, request information, access vendor micro sites and search using keywords. It also has a click-to-call feature. By pushing a button on your remote, the application automatically dials the advertiser number listed as well as your home phone. It also has a bookmark facility which lets you save your favorite merchants for future easy access.

"Advertisers are jumping at the chance to advertise on cable television," said Michael Baez, Sales Director of Axesa."Consumers spend more hours in front of their televisions than any other leisure time activity. What a great convenience for them to be able to access data and see advertisers right on their television screen, without ever having to get up. The categories searched on TV are very much in line with the categories in our print and Internet directories."

"Usage of the Yellow Pages on TV application is going up every month at OneLink," said Craig Olive, senior vice president, Advertising Sales, FourthWall Media. "Consumers and advertisers are embracing this application even though it is new. Within only three months Yellow Pages on TV advertising is running well ahead of projections. As the Axesa sales force reaches more and more merchants, we expect to see more and more advertisers. Our thanks go to both Axesa and OneLink."
