Winnipeg, MB – OMT Inc. (TSXV: OMT) announces that VerStandig Broadcasting will be standardizing its entire radio group on OMT’s iMediaTouch Digital Audio Delivery System. VerStandig Broadcasting will begin using iMediaTouch on all its radio stations in July 2005 and will utilize OMT’s Remote Voice Track application to share talent voice tracks between the clusters.

VerStandig Broadcasting owns and operates 10 radio stations between the Hagerstown/Chambersburg/Waynesboro - MD/PA market and Harrisonburg - VA market. WAYZ is the number one station in Hagerstown/Chambersburg/Waynesboro - MD/PA and is the oldest and most powerful station in Maryland serving 53 counties in 4 different states. In Harrisonburg, VA, WSVA, with its mix of talk, local news and information and sports, remains one of America's most popular AM stations, often ranking at, or near the top of the local ratings.

“VerStandig has long understood the benefits of standardizing on one system. We are thrilled that they chose iMediaTouch for their broadcast automation requirements,” states Ron Paley, founder of OMT. He adds, “With our latest Remote Voice Track release, VerStandig’s talent can share remote voice tracks from any studio connected to the Internet and retain the same feature set and benefits they have now in the local studio. We look forward to a long term positive relationship with this impressive radio group and to meeting and exceeding their expectations.”

“We looked at many different systems and kept getting drawn back to OMT’s iMediaTouch!” states Chris Maestle, Director of Programming, PA location.  “I talked with programmers and engineers that use iMediaTouch and those that use other systems.  Everyone had good things to say about the system they were using and most had complaints as well…on the other hand; NO iMediaTouch user could come up with a system downfall.  That’s a powerful statement!”
