CHICAGO, May 12 /PRNewswire/ --

- Custom Storefronts now available to local radio stations

Emmis Interactive, Inc., the U.S. radio industry's leader in generating
interactive revenues, today announced a licensing agreement with the iTunes
Store to market its custom Storefront technology to other radio stations and
media companies.

The Emmis Storefront technology, used exclusively to date by Emmis
Communications radio stations, allows a station to build a storefront with a
look and feel that is consistent with its over-the-air product. This enables
listeners to easily find and purchase songs they are hearing on-air using
their own Apple iTunes account.

"Many stations' web sites direct you to another web site to purchase
music and require a users' credit card information, making the buying
experience very cumbersome," Emmis Interactive co-president Rey Mena
explained. "Our custom Storefront technology empowers a radio station to
configure a station-branded storefront utilizing iTunes' entire 6
million-song catalog. These storefronts allow listeners to shop from
playlists of station artists as well as top picks recommended by on-air
talent. It is a critical tool in building the relationship with listeners and
offering them a richer user experience."

Since its launch on Emmis Radio web sites in June of 2006, the Emmis
Interactive Storefront has been among the top five affiliates directing
traffic to the iTunes Store.

Examples of the custom iTunes Storefront can be experienced at
