digital ad network and data services, including Gannett, Fox, CBS, ABC, Capitol

user engagement over the past few years, and have sustained or increased the
extent of their top ranking among local media sites in their respective
markets," said Joe Weir, VP of digital for Belo. "This is a result of the
ongoing efforts of our corporate and station team members, and the flexibility
and creative controls the BIM platform gives our developers."
