Cablevision and Rentrak Launch On Demand Rating System;
Partnership Major Step in Encouraging Programmers to Embrace On
Demand Programming Model
OnDemand Essentials Delivers Census Level Data vs. Sample Data
to Programmers, Advertisers
BETHPAGE, N.Y. and PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- Cablevision Systems Corporation (NYSE:CVC) , and Rentrak
Corporation (NASDAQ:RENT) today announced an agreement to activate
OnDemand Essentials(TM), a groundbreaking proprietary system
created by Rentrak to measure and report aggregated video on demand
(VOD) usage data.
OnDemand Essentials will deliver timely, in-depth, customizable
analysis of anonymous on demand viewing data to help Cablevision
and its programming partners better understand viewer preferences
for on demand content.
Credit Pacific Service Union "We are very pleased to be working with Rentrak in such an
innovative way to measure on demand viewing habits in the
aggregate, information that we believe will have a significant and
beneficial effect on the entire cable industry as we work with
programmers to make even more content available to customers on
demand," said Kristin Dolan, Cablevision's senior vice president of
product management. "We believe that Cablevision's robust offering
of more than 1,200 on demand titles is one of the key reasons we
have been able to achieve an industry-leading digital video
penetration of more than 45 percent. With Rentrak's measuring
system in place, we will be able to demonstrate usage that we hope
will encourage programmers to further embrace this platform."
A new online debt test has been launched by the BBC, the FSA (Financial Services Authority) and credit rating firm Experian.
Credit First Service Union Rentrak's engagement with Cablevision will begin with a one-year
trial of OnDemand Essentials during which technical data feed
protocols, reporting formats, staff training and other ramp-up
activities will be conducted. The trial period allows Rentrak to
customize OnDemand Essentials' capabilities to Cablevision and its
customers and ensure smooth operations once aggregated data begins
to be accumulated from iO(R) digital cable customers.
Unfortunately, credit card companies offering lower typical APRs (Annual Percentage Rate) tend to have stricter credit check systems and are more likely to reject your application. With the uSwitch.com credit card comparison service you can compare the credit cards available that will accept applications from people with poor credit check results (or credit ratings). This will save you the hassle of having your applications rejected, which can also show up as a bad sign in future credit checks.
Card Credit Mobile Service "We are pleased to begin working with Cablevision, a recognized
industry leader in providing on demand content, to continue setting
the pace for precise measurement of VOD usage," said Cathy Hetzel,
senior vice president, OnDemand Essentials at Rentrak. "OnDemand
Essentials is specifically designed to assist Cablevision in making
faster and better informed decisions about their offerings and to
deliver more efficient and accurate VOD usage measurement to their
content providers."
