MOUNT LAUREL, NJ--(Marketwire - June 23, 2010) - TelVue Corporation (OTCBB: [ TEVE ]), the innovation leader in [ digital broadcast ][ video server ] and [ live Internet streaming ] technology for [ hyperlocal ] and [ community media ], today announced that WHYY selected TelVue's [ PBCore ] compatible digital media archive and retrieval system for archiving the complete Fresh Air with Terry Gross audio library. Produced by WHYY in Philadelphia and broadcast nationally by NPR, Fresh Air attracts nearly 5 million listeners each week and is broadcast on more than 500 NPR stations.

"Fresh Air is one of public radio's most popular and successful programs, and it was critical for WHYY to be able to digitally archive and then efficiently search, retrieve and share the full value of each program in the 30+ years of well-produced interviews -- a continuing history of the American culture and experience," said Bill Weber, WHYY Public Media VP & Chief Technology Officer. "The customized TelVue PBCore storage and archiving solution gives us the flexibility, control and content management we need to ensure full utilization of this resource in new ways. As we continue to standardize on PBCore, we look forward to transitioning additional multimedia asset libraries, including video, to PBCore standardized management."
