Rhythm NewMedia and AccuWeather.com partners to offer ad-supported mobile video.

State College, PA, USA, May 6, 2008 (XTVWorld.Com) -- AccuWeather.com® and Rhythm NewMedia announced that AccuWeather.com forecast videos are now included in Rhythm's range of ad-supported mobile content. Local forecasts for over 100 cities, regional forecasts, national forecasts, and breaking severe weather videos will now be available inventory for mobile video ads sold by Rhythm NewMedia. AccuWeather.com forecasting videos will be offered in two-minute segments, alongside other snack-sized video content offered to consumers for free in exchange for watching a short pre- or post-roll video ad.

Rhythm delivers a targeted and personalized video ad before the AccuWeather video content based on demographic data collected. Rhythm both sells and serves these video ads and its in-line brand awareness research system is used for measuring customer satisfaction and ad effectiveness. In addition to targeting by demographic data, advertisers can also specify frequency caps to help prevent waste.

"Weather is quite simply one of the hottest categories of content on the mobile web and has AccuWeather.com enthusiastically responded by reaching the widest possible audience through advertising-supported content," David Mitchell, Director of Wireless for AccuWeather.com said. "We're happy to work with innovative companies like Rhythm NewMedia to deliver useful content for users integrated with targeted ad opportunities for clients."

"Rhythm NewMedia is pleased to welcome AccuWeather.com to our family of content providers, as we're committed to providing consumers with the most extensive array of professional ad funded mobile videos," said Ian Foley, director of business development at Rhythm NewMedia.
