Market Wire, July, 2005
The Viacom Television Stations Digital Media Group has partnered with FinancialContent, Inc. (OTC BB: FCON) to bring online financial data to its newly designed CBS station websites as part of the previously announced "Always On" digital media initiative. FinancialContent will give Viacom Television Station's website users access to online financial data including stock quotes and charts, SEC filings, corporate profiles, world market indices, historical data, financial tools and more to each of the Viacom Television Station Group's websites.
Visitors to each of the newly designed and re-launched websites will now have access to current, local business information on the station's homepage. FinancialContent's information will be supported by each television station's broadcast and broadband video business updates, creating a very unique and powerfully informative financial and business portal.
