company, with a sharp focus on strategic news services that help broadcast
clients build an audience on-air and online. We are delighted to be

service into our in-depth Internet content service, which is intended
to help our clients build their own local image and return their audiences
to their core broadcast and Internet properties.”
Gary Schneider, President of Corporate Development at Popmail.com adds,
“The NewsProNet and Popmail alliance further complements the on-air
and on-line “loop” our broadcast clients are working to develop by using
e-mail as the conduit between the two. This also gives them an additional
avenue for incremental advertising revenue through targeted ad buys
in their e-mails and on their Web sites.”
