FPinfomart.ca Launches New Video Media Monitoring Service

New feature provides users with over 60 live TV channels of Canadian news and information
Toronto, ON: The days of standing at reception, waiting for the overnight courier to arrive with tapes or transcripts of yesterday’s news are gone. FPinfomart, Canada’s most comprehensive aggregator of same day and archival Canadian news and business information, has launched a new video monitoring technology enabling access to real-time streaming of news and business content directly to your PC, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

In addition to providing clients with access to more than 275 national, regional and international news sources, including; major Canadian dailies and newswires, regional community papers, TV and radio transcripts, corporate databases, specialty trade journal and magazines; FPinfomart.ca will be offering customers access to live television coverage from over 60 television channels.

“The rate of information exchange has accelerated incredibly in recent years and business professionals now need real-time access to a wide variety of information sources,” said Arturo Duran, President, CanWest Interactive. “FPinfomart’s new video media monitoring service has become a one-stop intelligence center that keeps working even when you’re not, through its 24 hour, seven day a week, proactive media monitoring.”

Based on a user’s individualized search parameters, FPinfomart.ca will generate all related news coverage, even if a user was not aware that a particular news item was going to appear. Other features of the new video monitoring service include:

• Real-time media monitoring with clips available immediately after broadcast

• 24/7 news monitoring
• One-stop shop for all media monitoring needs – print, and TV broadcast
