Africa's leading fashion photographer and head of SDR Photo, Simon Deiner, selected NetroMedia to stream African Fashion Week because of the company's reputation for global delivery and comprehensive one-on-one customer support. He reports that, while budgets are strict and every expense needs to be justified, streaming has become very important to the fashion industry and, "is definitely here to stay. The ease in which NetroMedia allows this process to happen is fantastic." Following the success of the streaming of London Fashion Week, AFI became interested in streaming their events based on demand from fans and followers. Subsequently, Denier engaged NetroMedia to power <a href="http://www.netromedia.com/live-events.aspx">live streaming</a> of Cape Town Fashion Week in July. In addition to gratifying fans, the Cape Town broadcasts generated media exposure over and above expectations. "I think it's important to have streaming at fashion weeks," said Deiner. "Fashion weeks are usually quite closed to the public. The streaming opens up these events in real time and provides a fantastic resource for followers of fashion, bloggers and those that cannot make shows to watch them as they unfold." The coverage of this year’s Africa Fashion Week, which includes the shows and the fashion awards, will be broadcast from the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa. "NetroMedia has been streaming events for African clients for many years," said Paul Dunn, manager to Europe and Africa, "and we’re excited to be working with South Africa’s top fashion photographer." About SDR Photo SDR Photo is Africa's leading photographer of ramp, fashion and fashion week events. Headed by Simon Deiner and based in Cape Town, South Africa, the company covers fashion events across the African continent and is the official house photographer for all SA Fashion Weeks.

NetroMedia’s Middle Eastern clients include one of the two most popular private Kuwaiti TV stations, Dar Al Watan, as well as Saudi company, IT City, which recently sponsored the global live streaming of Ramadan prayers to mobile. These broadcasters, as well as other clients from the region, benefit from the streaming media company’s flawless global delivery. "It is wonderful to be working out of the region, as we have many longstanding client relationships there,” NetroMedia’s manager to the Middle East, Taher Altayeb, who will lead the new office, stated. “I’m also particularly excited to show new customers how NetroMedia can help them stream to all devices at once.” NetroMedia’s mobile streaming solutions are particularly appealing to Middle Eastern organizations due to the disparity between mobile and internet adoption rates in the region. In Egypt, which has one of the region’s most developed telecommunications sectors, mobile adoption is approximately 68%, while the country’s internet adoption is a mere 13%, according to a 2010 report by the Canadian Trade Commission. “We have always had a division of our client services team dedicated to serving the Middle East,” said Jason Potter, client services manager. “We deliver one-on-one customer service to each and every client, and being in the region is going to make that even better.” NetroMedia’s expansion to the Middle East follows the move of its Victoria, BC head office to a larger space in May 2011, and the opening of its new European office based in London, UK, in January 2011. NetroMedia is demonstrating its mobile streaming solution at IBC 2011 in Hall 6, Stand 6.B22 until September 13, 2011. NetroMedia’s new address is on University Street in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

"The Chum brand will continue to strengthen as market segmentation and customer engagement programs intensify in the online world. Not only has the act of discovery changed, but the ways in which music fans engage with content has evolved." In this specific solution, Chum Media’s Kool 107 station wanted to provide a live Windows audio feed streamed in real-time to their Internet audience. With this in mind, they came to NetroMedia. Once specific Chum content is encoded, the live radio feed is integrated into NetroMedia's acquisition servers and distribution networks, which broadcasts the streamed content to broadband, mobile and wireless devices. "NetroMedia is adept at bridging ICT performance gaps to complete business interests and convey complex online product development concepts," said Matthew Carson, NetroMedia's Director of Technology. "Our project will demand a resourceful team that is capable of implementing a scalable gateway to achieve our online goals," said Bud Goes, Broadcast Engineering Manager for Chum Media’s Kool 107 FM brand. "We look forward to working with NetroMedia on this assignment." About Chum Media The CHUM Media Radio Division operates 34 stations throughout Canada, including KOOL FM.
