CMP Media (http://www.cmp.com/) today strengthened its comprehensive suite of integrated media solutions with the launch of a new Web video delivery platform. The new platform, which can be accessed by users from multiple pages on a site, allows CMP brands to deliver news and in-depth technology video content to website visitors via a compelling new interactive player. Using this new delivery platform, CMP Media is now rolling out regularly scheduled video programs across multiple brands, making the company the only integrated media organization to do so across the entire technology spectrum.

CMP Media developed the proprietary technology for video news delivery, which not only allows the audience to watch and listen, but enables them to link to related editorial and white papers, interact with editors, and view upcoming show schedules.

  CMP Media is currently offering the following online news programs:

   * CRN TV features This Week in the News, a weekly program that delivers
     the latest news stories and information in the Channel
     (at http://www.crn.com/).  The video news program, hosted by CRN Editor
     Heather Clancy and featuring CRN Test Center Director Frank Ohlhorst,
     is updated every Tuesday.  Clancy delivers headline news stories, while
     Ohlhorst offers news and primers about the latest cutting-edge
     technology.

   * InformationWeek launched Inside InformationWeek, which is broadcast at
     both informationweek.com and techweb.com.  Hosted by Lou Bertin,
     InformationWeek's editor at large, the program will initially appear
     every other week on informationweek.com and techweb.com.  The 10- to
     15-minute show takes a behind-the-story look at a current feature in
     the magazine, with interviews with editors and other industry experts.
     Inside InformationWeek also provides commentary from the
     InformationWeek editorial staff, including Bob Evans, CMP senior vice
     president and editorial director of InformationWeek and TechWeb, and
     Stephanie Stahl, InformationWeek editor in chief, and highlights
     upcoming features in the magazine.

   * EETimes launched daily video coverage of the Embedded Systems
     Conference last month.  Hosted by Editor in Chief Brian Fuller, the
     segments featured interviews from the floor of the show and behind-the-
     scenes looks at the preparations for the first Annual Creativity in
     Electronics (ACE) Awards.  EETimes also plans to use the video platform
     to cover the upcoming Design Automation Conference (DAC).

   * Software Development Magazine and Network Computing will also be
     releasing online videos.
