Reedsport, Oregon and Westport, CT, July 6, 2005: Wicks Broadcast Solutions, LLC (“WBS”), the leading provider of media broadcast management software, has entered into an agreement with Connoisseur Media, LLC, based in Westport, CT, to integrate Wicks’ software into Connoisseur’s corporate office and ten new radio stations.

In announcing the agreement, Pete D’Acosta, Chief Executive Officer of WBS, said, "We are so glad that Jeff Warshaw and Mike Driscoll are back in radio station ownership. Through their leadership and passion for technology, Connoisseur will be one of the most innovative groups in radio."

"We are pleased to partner with Wicks to help us build a new kind of radio company.” said Jeffrey D. Warshaw, CEO of Connoisseur.

Connoisseur Media will be standardizing on Wicks’ DeltaFlex traffic and billing software and InterAcct accounting system software. Connoisseur will also be employing Wicks’ Control Tower technology to capture corporate reporting data from the first day of the company’s operation.

DeltaFlex 4, the most comprehensive traffic/billing/broadcast management software system, is designed to meet the needs of the most demanding stations and companies. Unequalled traffic and billing performance is delivered through an impressive array of features.

Control Tower, a web-based corporate data consolidation system, allows Connoisseur Media financial and sales managers to have real-time access to key information electronically gathered from each individual DeltaFlex traffic system in each market. Control Tower integrates the data into Microsoft SQL Server relational databases for company-wide reporting right from the desktop. Control Tower aggregates all of this information and presents simple to read reports and graphs via a web browser, anytime from any place.

"We are starting this group with all new stations, facilities and programming. We wanted our systems to start off being the best in the business.” said Michael O. Driscoll, EVP/CFO of Connoisseur Media LLC.

Connoisseur Media, LLC is a new company formed by experienced radio executives Jeffrey D. Warshaw and Michael O. Driscoll. Connoisseur Media will be building ten radio stations during 2005 and early 2006, all in Arbitron-rated markets. It is the first time an entirely new group has built such a large number of stations, all at the same time, and all in rated markets.
