The Consumer-Driven Index Will Increase Brand Campaign Reach and ROI

NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- WestwoodOne, the largest independent national audio media company in the U.S., will launch WestwoodOne's Super Bowl Audio Index, the first-ever consumer-driven index ranking the most creative audio commercials aired during Super Bowl XLVIII.

The index will be comprised of all commercials aired on the 700+ radio stations which broadcast WestwoodOne's exclusive, play-by-play coverage of Super Bowl XLVIII. Each of the commercials will be available for consumer voting through WestwoodOne.com on February 2, 2014. Two awards will be announced across WestwoodOne's on-air and online broadcast network.


-- Listener's Choice: selected by consumers through an online voting
process that can also be leveraged by marketers through social media,
and activated through SoundHound, to create even more engaging
experiences for listeners.
-- Media Choice: selected by an advisory council comprised of leading
advertising, media and creative executives across multiple consumer
categories.
"For brands wanting to engage a captive audience with the largest reach, there is no comparison to the Super Bowl," said Paul Caine, CEO of WestwoodOne. "We created the Index as a new way for all brands to leverage the power of sound and capitalize on this massive advertising moment. The index enables marketers to engage more intimately with 26 million+ listeners, expanding their campaigns and maximizing their marketing dollars."

WestwoodOne's coverage of the Super Bowl is broadcast across terrestrial radio, on SiriusXM Satellite Radio, NFL.com/Audiopass, NFL Mobile from Verizon subscribers, in the stadium during the game, and on the American Forces Radio Network. The action-packed day includes a full 12 hours of coverage, including 7 Days to Sunday, a week-long series leading up to The Big Game. The on-air series will feature an hour-long show each night showcasing Super Bowl team players, past Super Bowl heroes, and all the special league and fan activities and events taking place in New York/New Jersey.
