TARGETSPOT BECOMES THE EXCLUSIVE STREAMING SALES NETWORK FOR SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM

 

New York, N.Y. (February 15, 2017)—TargetSpot, the largest and most advanced digital audio ad network is announcing today an exclusive network partnership with Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. (SBS) (OTCQX: SBSAA), the largest publicly-traded Hispanic-controlled media and entertainment company in the United States.

SBS and TargetSpot agreed today that Targetspot will be the exclusive third party sales network for all of SBS’s Spanish Radio streaming inventory.

97% of all US Hispanic Americans are reached by radio every week, the highest penetration that Nielsen measures across demographics, ethnicities and platforms. According to a survey executed by Oh!Panel in May 2016, the average US Hispanic listener spends at least two to three hours a day with Internet radio. The survey also looked at the role of advertising, revealing that 69% of respondents have bought at least one product pitched on online radio in the past year. An even more impressive 44% said they have bought between two and five products advertised in online radio.

Thanks to this partnership, SBS will have access to the most advanced targeting technology of the TargetSpot network as well as the most effective network sales extension to monetize their audience. The expanded partnership gives TargetSpot one of the largest footprints among Hispanics in digital audio and enables its advertising partners to reach millions of additional Hispanic listeners across multiple devices.

“SBS has been an amazing partner in the past and we are very happy to become closer. They have strong brands and the most dynamic and innovative strategy in terms of digital audio, TargetSpot is proud to be part of that strategy. The Hispanic consumer is young and connected, and music is central to their lifestyle and culture. Brands can’t afford to play catch up because this audience is too savvy and typically ahead of the general market in terms of media trends. That’s why we’re continuing to strengthen our partnerships with the leading Hispanic media groups such as SBS to make sure we can help brands keep up with this fast moving audience”, says Thierry Ascarez – Chief Business Development Manager at TargetSpot.

“With this announcement, we emphasize our commitment in growing our strategic partnership with TargetSpot. SBS, throughout the years has consistently led the US Hispanic marketplace with proven and revolutionary audio brands inside the space. Our aggressive digital strategy has continued to play a vital role for our present and future growth. This leads to a constant drive for further development, across all of our product offerings. This commitment to innovate and serve our listening audience, in addition to client partners alike remains ever constant. With this in mind, we feel there is no one better suited than Target Spot to help us best monetize our streaming inventory.” says Eric Garcia Chief Radio Revenue Officer and General Manager of SBS New York.

Mega 97.9FM is giving listeners the chance to win VIP access to a private event to celebrate the release of international star Nicky Jam’s new album, “Fenix.”

The event, known as the “Mega VIP Experience”, will be held at the club Salsa con Fuego in the Bronx on February 7th at 7:00 p.m. (EST). Listeners will get their chance to win VIP passes only by listening to Mega 97.9 FM.

Mega star Nicky Jam has always been present at the most important events of Mega 97.9FM and Amor 93.1FM, which comes from Jam’s appreciation of the unconditional support that he has received from SBS.

“The Mega VIP Experience is a touching opportunity for fans across the country to see their favorite artists live,” said Arturo Sosa, Programming Director of Mega97.9FM and Amor 93.1FM. “It’s great to introduce international music sensation Nicky Jam along with our sponsors Boost Mobile and MajorWorldEspanol.com, who are always on the move.”

“For many years, we set out to celebrate Hispanic youth by connecting fans, artists and brands using these private events and thanks to our sponsors, this is exactly what we have achieved with VIP events in our markets,” said Eric Garcia, CRO of SBS Radio and General Manager of SBS New York. “Mega 97.9FM and Love 93.1FM continue to bring the most outstanding artists face-to-face with their fans and this time we are very pleased to have Nicky Jam and other international stars as we extend this experience.”

Following an incredible year, Nicky Jam has earned considerable recognition for his work. For two years in a row, Billboard magazine named him the most outstanding artist of the year as well as once again being YouTube’s only Latin artist to stack up views with videos from his channel.

“El Amante” is Nicky Jam’s latest single, which features an application for fans to exchange romantic messages with their significant other. The song is part of the awaited album “FENIX” produced by Saga WhiteBlack, (Sony Music Latin), as part of the soundtrack of XXX: The Return of Xander Cage, which happens to be Nicky Jam’s Hollywood acting debut.

The music video for “El Amante” (The Lover) is a love story featuring a protagonist who tries to express his emotions for the woman he loves through the use of extensive audio equipment and his supportive community in this fun love story.

“Yes, I am the lover but the lover is also you and all those who have done something crazy for love and do not regret it,” Nicky Jam said.

The Puerto Rican singer did not make it clear whether or not the story comes from his own life but he invites all of his followers to value their partner by expressing their truest feelings to them.
