Critical Mention, Inc., a leading Web-based
television news search and monitoring service, has announced
a video-licensing agreement with AP Digital, a division of The
Associated Press that provides news and information to interactive
services.
Critical Mention now offers AP video clips to corporate communications,
business intelligence, news-monitoring professionals, and to
approved Critical Mention distributors. Critical Mention will
pay AP Digital a fee each time an AP news video clip is viewed
on its platform, CriticalTV.
"By including AP video into the CriticalTV platform we
can offer our user base an even broader scope and quality of
content for research," said Sean Morgan, CEO of Critical
Mention. "This relationship also illustrates Critical Mention's
strategy to enable content producers and broadcasters to participate
in revenue opportunities available through distribution of their
content within our fully auditable business-to-business online
video search and alerting platform. This deal reiterates the
fact that Critical Mention is a one-stop-shop television monitoring
tool for business professionals."
"We feel that business intelligence video search is a burgeoning
market," said AP Director of Business Development Ted Mendelsohn.
Morgan says that the agreement accentuates Critical Mention's
commitment to providing the world's premier broadcast news to
businesses and government agencies, and illustrates the expanding
online market for news video monitoring worldwide. "Critical
Mention is transforming the business model used by television
news monitoring companies, in which content producers and broadcasters
traditionally have not been paid," says Morgan.
