Hollywood Previews, which is owned by iMedia, and marketed and syndicated to newspapers by UPS, provides thousands of pages of content, including more than 2,500 videos. The service can be co-branded to fit within a newspapers current Web framework and is updated daily, providing newspapers and their site visitors with the most current information, interviews and trailers. In addition, Hollywood Previews also offers free downloads and contests to help attract new visitors and keep entertainment consumers coming back.

"We are impressed with the wealth of quality content and vast number of videos Hollywood Previews provides and believe it can improve the overall quality and appearance of our entertainment packages across our sites," stated John Reetz, general manager, COXnet. "Hollywood Previews is a turn-key opportunity to build out video and entertainment verticals."

Hollywood Previews is a complete content channel that provides newspapers with up-to-date information from the world of entertainment. iMedia and UPS have developed a number of pricing models to accommodate the needs of publishers of all sizes and frequencies, from a major daily to a community weekly. The pricing models are structured to allow newspapers to quickly turn on a vertical content channel without the production and hosting costs, while adding premium, incremental ad inventory for the newspaper's web site.

"COX Newspapers is a great addition to our portfolio of premier newspaper customers," said Henry Williamson, chief executive officer of iMedia. "The COX agreement reflects a strong support of our new enterprise strategy and the need for a general entertainment content channel for newspaper of all sizes. A solution like Hollywood Previews proves especially important when newspapers are focusing their resources on their local markets and cannot commit resources to cover general entertainment."
