Right Media Signs .Fox Networks in Multi-Year Ad Serving Deal


NEW YORK, March 17 /PRNewswire/ --     Right Media (http://www.rightmedia.com), a Yahoo! company and creator of
the Right Media Exchange, today announced that it has entered into a
long-term, multi-territory agreement with .Fox Networks to power and expand
the media giant's ad business. The new agreement furthers the companies'
existing relationship, which began two years ago when .Fox Networks, a unit
of Fox International Channels, became one of the first international media
networks to join the Right Media Exchange.

.Fox Networks, one of the fastest growing networks on the Exchange, will
use Right Media's technology platform to manage media buying and selling
across its performance ad network. The company is gearing up to expand its
worldwide reach, which already includes 15 local offices spanning Latin
America, Europe and Asia.

"We're thrilled to grow our relationship with a well-respected partner
like .Fox Networks," said Bill Wise, General Manager of Right Media. "They
have been an anchor partner in international markets of the Right Media
Exchange and, as they grow, they'll bring even more value to the community."

The Right Media platform will serve as .Fox Networks' primary ad server,
as well as its gateway to the Right Media Exchange, the industry's largest
auction marketplace for buying and selling online inventory. .Fox Networks
will also have access to Right Media's managed services and consulting as a
part of the deal.

"Expanding a business at this level requires a versatile and powerful
infrastructure that will allow us to scale with minimal strain on our
resources," stated Hernan Lopez, President and COO of Fox International
Channels. "Right Media's platform, accompanied by access to massive supply
and demand in the Exchange, is the clear choice."

About Right Media

Since Right Media launched digital advertising's first exchange platform
in the spring of 2005, adoption of ad exchanges, both from a participation
and development standpoint, has been enthusiastic. The Right Media Exchange
has made the concepts of a fair, open, standardized marketplace, and the
efficiency and profitability that result for all buyers/sellers, fundamental
in our industry.

Today, over 145 Exchange members, and the 30,000+ buyers and sellers they
bring with them, trade over five billion impressions a day on the Exchange.
While it started as, and continues to be, the most sensible solution for
monetizing and buying non-premium inventory, that's only a fraction of the
picture. RMX membership gives you the means to manage your ad business
holistically-from full ad serving and auto-optimization, to business
development, to business expansion.

Founded in 2003, Right Media is a Yahoo! company based in New York, with
offices in London, Moscow, Hong Kong, Hamburg, Eugene, San Francisco and
Tallahassee.
