Nassau Broadcasting Partners and Mobility Technologies Execute Representation Agreement


CAMP HILL, PA - February 22, 2000
- Nassau Broadcasting Partners, L.P., a northeast regional radio broadcasting group, and Mobility Technologies, a provider of real-time traffic and logistics information services, have signed an agreement for Mobility Technologies to serve as a national representative for a portion of Nassau's 10 second advertising sponsorship inventory.

The agreement covers 21 radio stations that comprise the Nassau Broadcasting network, whose headquarters are based in Princeton, NJ. The stations are concentrated in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.

"We look forward to a long and profitable affiliation with Mobility Technologies," commented Joan E. Gerberding, President of the Jersey RADIO Network (JRN), the national sales division of Nassau Broadcasting whose division the Mobility Technologies clients will fall under. "We see this as an entirely new revenue stream that allows us to offer targeted demographics and formats to national and regional advertisers."

According to Ron Stone, Vice President of Affiliate Sales for Mobility Technologies: "Our Web-based applications, such as the national Ad Exchange, enable radio stations to effectively market and manage their inventory while unlocking new sources of revenue. Working with partners like Nassau, we are changing the way the radio industry operates."

About Nassau Broadcasting Partners
Nassau Broadcasting Partners, L.P. is the largest broadcasting company in New Jersey and is ranked in the top 50 in the United States. In addition to covering areas in bordering states, Jersey RADIO Network is the first and only statewide radio network in the country.

In some aggressive expansion moves, Nassau Broadcasting Partners targeted, then purchased or contracted to purchase nineteen radio stations-two in 1995 and seventeen since March of 1996-to add to their original flagship stations, WHWH-AM and WPST-FM in central New Jersey.

The subsequent creation of the Jersey RADIO Network in March of 1997 gave national advertisers the unique opportunity to cover all of New Jersey and parts of western New York state and eastern Pennsylvania.

The launch of the Jersey RADIO Network in March of 1997 created a unified regional radio network that gave national and regional advertisers an opportunity to reach their target audience in the strategic New York/Philadelphia corridor. JRN's unique concept was to offer one media outlet at a lower cost than their larger market counterparts.
