CCN Newswire Introduces First-ever Real-time Canadian National Network Monitoring

CCN Newswire, a leading disseminator of news releases for publicly traded Canadian companies, today announced a partnership with TVEyes Inc., a provider of real-time television alerts and broadcast monitoring. This partnership will enable CCN Newswire to offer all of its clients a powerful new competitive intelligence and media-monitoring service that will monitor a wide range of leading Canadian and U.S. broadcast channels and cable networks for information about the companies, people, products, trends and issues that are important to them.

``The ability to offer TVEyes' broadcast content extends CCN Newswire's range of services to all of our clients. Not only will we distribute their information in Canada and around the world but they will be able to track topics of interest in real-time as well,'' said Neil Baird, Senior Vice President of Marketing for CCN Newswire. ``It was the depth and quality of TVEyes' content in the business and financial marketplace that was a key factor in our decision to partner with them.''

In Canada, TVEyes monitors Canada's major national networks from Halifax, as many national programs are aired one hour earlier in Halifax. Using TVEyes, CCN Newswire clients can get a heads up on the news of the day. In addition to Canada, TVEyes monitors an extensive number of networks and channels in the U.S. and the U.K.

``We're extremely excited about teaming up with CCN Newswire to provide TVEyes' proprietary television search and InstantAlerts(TM) capability to all of CCN Newswire's clients,'' said David Ives, President and CEO of TVEyes. ``Our partnership with CCN Newswire underscores the importance of television news, commentary, and market buzz in providing time-sensitive information and shaping opinion in the corporate world.''
