Intertain Signs Four Year
Agreement with CBC-Galaxie to Deliver an
Innovative Retail Radio Music Service in Canada
Ottawa, ON and Winnipeg, MB – Intertain Media
Inc., a division of OMT Inc. (TSXV: OMT), today
announced the signing of a 4-year exclusive
agreement with CBC to offer Galaxie Music for
Business content to retailers and commercial
businesses in Canada.
As part of the agreement, Intertain will be
responsible for sales, content delivery, and
service while CBC-Galaxie will be responsible
for music content, licensing, and programming.
This partnership combines the strengths of both
companies. Galaxie, CBC’s Continuous Music
Network, brings an extensive music library and
considerable music programming expertise, which
has successfully attracted over 4.5 million
subscribers to their residential pay audio
consumer music offering.
Intertain brings the infrastructure and its 35
years of experience in audio delivery and
service to radio and satellite broadcasters
around the world.
Combining the unique Galaxie Music for Business
content and programs with the flexibility of the
Intertain platform delivers a true Retail Radio
customized service. Clients can create their own
audio environments that include music to
entertain consumers and promotional messages to
increase sales. Clients can choose from over 100
professionally programmed channels, have a
unique channel programmed for them by Galaxie
experts, or even build their own channel by
accessing content through a secure Internet
connection.
Alain Pineau, General Manager of Galaxie,
stated, “We believe that the flexible service we
jointly offer is far superior to that of
traditional music service providers. The
combination of our music library and programming
experience with Intertain’s flexible
infrastructure provides a truly unique
offering.”
“The momentum for this new service is growing.
We already have many clients who are using this
new service and seeing the advantages that
customization can bring, especially for
multi-location businesses. We are continuing to
pursue best of breed distribution partners in
Canada and strategic content partners like
Galaxie to offer this service worldwide,” added
Scott Farr, President and CEO of Intertain Media
