International
(NASDAQ: SEAC) Spot advertising insertion systems to
meet the growing demand for high-definition ad placements across its

off during commercial breaks,� said Michael Kelly, executive vice
president of Direct, Commercial and Advertising Sales for DISH Network.
â??The longstanding success DISH Network has enjoyed with our legacy
SeaChange platform is an assurance that our new Spot systems will allow
us to reliably and effectively serve both our advertisers and
subscribers alike.�


â??As DISH Network continues to expand the reach and capabilities of its
advertising programs, SeaChange is playing a critical role in ensuring
that the ads that are sold on the DISH Network platform are played out
when and where they are supposed to,� said Sanjiv Moré, senior director,
advanced advertising and VOD sales, SeaChange. â??While new opportunities
could mean additional complexities, SeaChange is providing the
technology and business intelligence to help enable this positive
growth, creating a seamless HD experience for DISH Network, its
advertisers and its viewers.�
