Dial Global placed a $2.1 million equipment order with Duluth-based Wegener Corp.
Dial Global made the order for Wegener's iPump® 6420 audio media servers and network products.
Wegener, a provider of equipment for television, audio and data distribution networks worldwide, said the order was booked during the fourth quarter of Wegener's fiscal 2008 and will ship over the first three quarters of fiscal 2009.
Following its acquisition of Jones Media America in June, Dial Global is purchasing the equipment to upgrade and expand the Wegener file-based broadcasting platform that Jones Media uses to manage its 2,000-radio station network from its Denver network operations center. This is the initial phase of a multi-year project to ultimately expand Dial Global's file-based distribution of programming, advertising and related services to their 6,000 radio affiliates.
"We're thrilled that Dial Global has decided to expand its Wegener file-based broadcasting platform across its extensive affiliate network," said Ned L. Mountain, president and COO of Wegener. "We look forward to supporting Dial Global's efforts to achieve more efficient program delivery, advertising insertion, and a customized listening experience across the country."
