Video News Releases

Let Five Star Productions maximize the power of your story and reach television viewers all across the United States with a "VNR". With a Video News Release we take your story and beam it to news stations around the country. Extensive penetration in key markets and comprehensive broadcast reports ensure successful delivery of your story. It will be picked up and aired by stations wanting to add content to their newscasts.

Key features include:

Satellite Transmission of Your VNR:
Your segment is transmitted twice, providing maximum news room penetration.

Advisories

A facsimile notification about your VNR is transmitted to an exclusive news circuit of television stations and cable systems nationwide. This direct transmission goes to over 800 TV news rooms where they are easily accessed by news room decision-makers. In addition, follow-up calls are placed to the 25-30 top markets of your choice.

Electronic Usage Monitoring

Five Star provides electronic tracking services through Nielsen's "SIGMA" which monitors over 1,100 full power commercial broadcast stations in all 210 designated market areas plus 28 national cable networks and superstations, as well as broadcast network feeds. Nielsen's "SIGMA" electronic stamp is placed on the invisible portion of the VNR tape. Nielsen decoders nationwide scan the airwaves of all 210 Nielsen markets for your VNR's code, and we report all usage to you.

Reporting

VNR usage is tracked for a total of thirteen weeks, and reports are generated weekly. In addition to usage, the Five Star tracking report will also include:

  • Television station ranking
  • Television station call letters
  • Time of airing
  • Tracking of Internet activity pertaining to your story
